I found this and thought I would share.

"Students watching the romantic film were later found to be more likely to believe in fate and destiny. A further study found that fans of romantic comedies had a stronger belief in predestined love.
Kimberly Johnson, who also worked on the study, said: "Films do capture the excitement of new relationships but they also wrongly suggest that trust and committed love exist from the moment people meet
whereas these are qualities that normally take years to develop." "

What now, bitches? Watching romantic comedies is now scientifically proven to make you a dumbass. I'm sure intelligent people aren't impressionable enough to let a shitty flick with Julia Roberts convince
them that they're living in some love-saturated utopia where we all ride unicorns and shit rainbows. But then again, what kind of intelligent
person would watch romantic comedies in the first place?

One thing that makes me question this article though is this excerpt right here:

"Marriage counsellors often see couples who believe that sex should always be perfect, and if someone is meant to be with you then they will know what you want without you needing to communicate it."

My ex-girlfriend was a huge fan of romantic comedies, and looking back on it now, it really explains a lot. She was clearly NOT a believer that sex should always be perfect. Each time it was more or less like making
love to a microwaved cadaver. A very loose one. But that's beside the point. The last part of the quote is dead on though; she was
quite possibly the worst communicator I've ever talked to.

Finding out if someone likes romantic comedies says a lot about them as a person.

I'm not sure what else to write here so I'm going to bring up something else on an entirely unrelated note that bothers me:
A. C. Slater's hair from Saved by the Bell.

Every time I see that stupid curly mullet I just want to grab a razor and shave his head.
