P.S. We Hate You.

5 Things that Chick Flicks Lie About:


5. People going their late twenties and thirties do NOT remain friends with their childhood friends.
That seems to be a common practice in chick flicks: to remain best friends with girls you've known from your childhood that you can still gossip with and trust. Honestly, in the real world that doesn't happen. People grow up and forget about each other for the sake of new friends and boyfriends. suck it up, girls. it happens.

4. People who have white collar jobs are NOT friends with their co-workers and office assistants.
Honestly, who are they trying to fool? No matter what, people do NOT want to take their jobs home, even if they have caring friends at work. The only thing people care about is themselves, especially in a work oriented environment. Climb the corporate ladder and watch out for the bodies falling off the rungs.

3. Women in chick flicks that sleep around HAVE STD'S.
I hate to break it to you, but it's impossible not to have contracted something from bar-hopping and bed-banging. Those movies attempt to depict happy sex jaunts and one night stands, but the truth is that these women have nothing left to offer of themselves when they finally meet the man of their dreams. They have a wedding and a honeymoon, and then what? Do they get to finally explore their sexuality in the context of marriage? No, because they already gave up half the fun-mystery. The mystery of exploration in a marriage bed is saved for exactly that-marriage, and these women are lying to themselves and everyone else if they think sleeping around brings eternal bliss one day.

2. In the real world, all women do not have perfect bodies.
Let's face it ladies. When we watch chick flicks, we compare our own bodies and mindsets to the ones we see on the big screen. Why, then, do we catch ourselves coming up short time and again when we seem to have let "the big fish" get away? Because in the movies we have just finished watching, the perfect women gets the guy! uh... hello. That simply means that only perfect women are able to screw up and still come out on top. Pun intended.

1. You cannot bake a cake, write a news article, or buy a gift to achieve a happy ending.
The movie industry has fooled women into thinking they can buy a happy ending. So many times our heroine has screwed up but fallen in love, thinking their lover can forget the past if only they...write a news article about them? Buy them a car? Rebuild a childhood doll house? come on now. This is reality! In reality, if you screw up AND are ugly?! There is no hope for you. MAYBE if you happen to have ALL of the above four things right as well- perfect body, sleep around w/out STDs, office friends, and remaining friends from your childhood, you can leave a baked cake in the shape of a carrot, hoping your true love will EAT his way into eternal bliss. After all, movies teach us that the way to a man's heart is through his... stomach...right.

The STD one I especially like. Like in "Ghosts of Girlfriends Past" where the condoms rain down on him. Come one now! And he's supposed to be disease free? I also never understand when the "good girl" falls in love with the "bad guy" and doesn't care at all about his past. Like in "Maid of Honor", as his best friend, she heard about all his one night stands, yet she doesn't feel at all betrayed by the past when they get married. Not likely.
