Hitch

Some guy once told me, he learnt a lot about dating women from watching Hitch. Never having actually seen the movie myself, I was looking forward to catching it on Astro. It was expectedly funny, the usual comedies about fumbling guys thrown in but somehow, as most movies are, there is a lack of reality about the whole thing. I mean, come on! Are women that easily conned into getting into a relationship with a guy they never even knew the existence of in the first place? And what about the whole “Oh, I’m in love with her” routine? Do they actually believe they’re in love with her or it’s just another lame excuse to get into her pants…? However, I do believe what they say about women, that 80% of women know where the relationship is heading to after the first kiss. But, I also believe that women also know where the relationship is going without having to kiss the guy. Trust me on this one. Some lips/guys are just not worth it.

So yeah, I’m a cynic and you can’t blame me entirely for being one. There are enough movies made about love and romance every year at Hollywood. Even less have any sense of reality to them. Sure, they make you go all warm and fuzzy inside but wake up! Hollywood never (okay…hardly) applies to real life. So yeah, to say that you’ve learnt about dating by watching a show that has been engineered in such a way to make audiences feel that they could go out and date (not to mention, con) movie stars is really insane by my standards. Unless, you have a warped sense of reality and think that you live the Hollywood engineered life. To make matters even more interesting, I usually prefer movies to have happy endings but for this one, I’d really wish she’d left him lying in the middle of the road after she knocked him down. By the way, I have reason to believe that the guy from the first sentence tried “Hitching” on me. Oh yeah, one more thing, it didn’t work.
