When I was at school, the movies were the prime place to meet boys. With a gaggle of giggling girls by my side we would spend hours talking to boys and following them to Macca’s before our parent’s picked us up. To see if the movies will work ten years on I decide to go to two different sessions over the weekend.
As I walk in the door it’s easy to see that Movies + Saturday night = lots of couples. Great - I have arrived on Date Night. The cinema is crowded and there is absolutely no chance that I can strike up a conversation with a guy without pushing into the line and risking some chick spiking me with her heel. Beside’s I am far to concerned with the number of girls actually wearing heels and am grateful I didn’t’ wear my ugg boots (don’t laugh at me you all know you have thought about it).
I decide to see a film that is slightly more male orientated but it doesn’t help. The pickings are slim and after a painful two hours, watching a truly ordinary film I leave dejected. Maybe Sunday afternoon will be better.
Wrong! Sunday is Girls Day Out. Miling around the cinema’s are groups of women of all ages and the only male I can spot is the guy serving me popcorn and choc tops and I’m not sure if he is old enough to attend high school let alone date! I have bought some friends with me to help with the boy spotting but without any talent near by we ditch the hunt and head into a chick flick where a girl just like us (if we looked like a Hollywood starlet) is being pursued by Mr Darcy-esque bloke. Really makes it hard to head back out and hit on guys after watching such an overblown version romance for two hours doesn’t it?
Well after 4 hours watching movies and a fair amount of cash (when did movies get so expensive?) I have to say this one is for the guys. Boys if your looking for a lady in this city Sunday afternoon get yourself down to the flicks and see the girliest movie you can find. Your mates will pay you out till Christmas but with a bit of luck the girls will find you intriguing…… just wear something blokey so they know they are your type if you know what I mean. Girls, well, sorry but the only thing I have learnt on this one is don’t wear your ugg boots to the movies on a Saturday night, the dress code is slightly different these days – why didn’t I get that memo?
