Is the movie "How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days" the ultimate statement about women?

So basically women think it is quite sporting to actually get a man to into a close romantic relationship and then act like a total b!tch so that he will leave.

My opinion:

 

[logicallefty]

Agreed. I had a gf once who was infatuated with this movie. B|tch lead me on and toyed with my emotions so hard, then dumped me for a woman.

Serious??? Because ONE woman did x it automaticly categorizes all women? I think you need to get out of your head a little more often and away from sosuave. I think this place is getting to your head a bit too much.

Why would take one single movie as "the ultimate statement"? That doesn't make any sense. Well, if it was the arthouse flick of the century maybe, but a Hollywood romcom? Come on.

sh1t, they don't need to watch a MOVIE, they come by it naturally

When they make movies, they always have a target audience. In general, when people watch movies, they imagine that it's them as the protagonist.

Porn is for guys who like jacking while pretending it's them. Action movies are for dudes who like to pretend they are alphas. Martial arts movies are for guys who imagine they're Bruce Lee.

Romantic comedies are for girls who like to imagine they're attractive enough and have enough self confidence to do whatever the "alpha girl" does in the movie.

Which means in real life, they don't. Nor would they likely want to. It's a brief, two hour fantasy. Most normal people know that.

I'm actually glad there are movies like "How To Lose A Guy In Ten Days."

It's a great way to "test" a girl in the first couple dates:

"I was flipping around on Netflix last night and I saw that 'how to lose a guy in ten days' movie. Pretty funny. You seen it? What'dya think?"

If you need some reassuring, there's ALWAYS tons of good, real life opinions on movies and their characters over at IMDB.com, and thankfully, most girls and guys think characters like that are nutjobs.

They all do it. They did it thousands of years before that movie and they will continue to do it thousands of years afterwards. They test you. Unfortunately, a chair in one hand and a whip in the other are frowned upon in this day and age.

Well, unless leather/rubber suits and ball gags are involved.

They can keep their damn movie. I'll keep idolizing Kevin Spacey in American Beauty.
