I know this has been discussed with cartoons.
Little girls watch the Disney movies(Sleeping Beauty, Beauty & the Beast, Little Mermaid, etc) and grow up thinking "some day their prince will come".
I think the same thing can be said with men. I mean we've all seen the Disney movies, we were kids. I bet some men watch these, and think that there is some "princess" out there for him to win with AFC behavior.
But this isn't about cartoons. This is about Hollywood. I swear 100% of all movies these days that aren't sophomoric comedies are written by women. They have to be. I mean think about it. The basic movie has a love story, mainly so women actually go see movies. If movies didn't have love stories, the theaters would be packed with men(Who doesnt like sh1t like Boondock Saints or Ravenous)
Every movie with a love story in it has some completely AFC loser and a girl he's trying to woo. DJs don't exist in movies. And the worst thing is, the AFC behavior works. The AFC buys the girl stupid sh1t, acts like a buffoon around her, and still wins the girl. We see movies all the time about nerds getting with the hot girl. That doesn't really happen.
People watch movies and think theyre real, and think theyre an accurate reflection of real life. This isn't true. Acting like the AFC dude in the movies isn't going to get you the girl.
