I think you had to work at that.

yeah, well, now she wonders why I am not as emotional and mushy as I used to be. Now, i'm very matter-of-factly and direct in my tone. She can't stand it. But that's what happens when you take a good heart for granted, it hardens, doesn't die, just hardens.

WOW my score is a 91 :

According to your score, you are romance typified! Rose petals, poignant poetry, tall glasses of wine, touching moments, and sweet words are all loving gestures that you love to receive as well as offer. Romance is very important to you, and quite likely an aspect that you consider fundamental in relationships. Keep in mind however, that problems may arise if you are with someone who really isn't the romantic type. If you look forward to Valentine's Day to express your love and your partner doesn't even acknowledge it as a special day, you might end up feeling neglected or your efforts unappreciated. Nevertheless, even if your partner isn't as romantically inclined as you are, try to be appreciative of his/her efforts when she/he does try to woo you. Some people aren't comfortable displaying their affection in screamingly obvious ways, but this doesn't mean that they don't care ? they simply prefer to be more subtle.

I didn't mind watching The Notebook in the movie theater. But I was almost thrown out of Terms of Endearment for laughing too hard. I mean come on, just drag out another mangled puppy already.

Steel Magnolias I thought was just overdone. Fried Green Tomatoes....I kept waiting for the lesbian part. And Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood....aka the lighter side of drug addled alcoholic bipolar child abuse? Yeah I just wanted that to end in a stabbing.

Dude, if I were a chick I would date you. but we'd probably unromanticize the hell outta each other. Would be a ton of laughs though.

I scored a 70. --Higher than I thought it would be.

Funny all the movies you mention in your post - except for the Notebook (Ryan Gosling is a GOD! ) .. I was terribly bored with (I think I missed the Sisters one?) I wouldn't even call those romances - I vaguely remember them at all.... but I know I seen them. All I recall from Fried Green Tomatoes is ...that train scene .. and thinking "get my little boy out of here" --that might be tramatizing to his psyche!

Dog...if you think any of the above second paragraph are romances you lied to get your score of 55...

Got a 90. Weird thing about me is that I love romance in my relationship but could care less about romantic movies for the most part. I'd rather watch action, sci fi or horror instead. So I guess I'm a contradiction...lol.

RomCom/Chick Movie, same thing. You prefer "Moonstruck"?

Then again I think 'Prizzi's Honor' is a RomCom so go figure.

I have to admit I've never watched Moonstruck, Cher movies have no appeal for me. It may be a great movie, I don't know. I'm not a big fan of the typical chick flick. I seem to like romance mixed with a bit of tragedy, for example Tristan & Isolde, Titanic, Armeggeddon, Pearl Harbor or A Walk to Remember. These movies evoke real emotion from me when I'm watching them, romance comedies are cute/funny but after a week I've already forgotten what the movie was about.

Well, "Chick Flicks" don't have to end on an upbeat note. What Lies Beneath is a good example of one that didn't.

"Chick flicks" are movies crafted to evoke this response in the average woman:




The distaff counterpart to the "Chick Flick" is the "Guy-Cry Film" (Or "Prick Flick" according to Gloria Steinem) Examples of that genre would include Backdraft, Braveheart, Band Of Brothers, Field of Dreams, Frequency, The Shawshank Redemption, and Saving Private Ryan.

I'm an 83. I don't like romantic movies much. I only watch them because Mrs. SandC likes them. The more emotional she gets the more she wants to have sex so....
