The Post turns the summer movie season into a battle of the sexes, or at least a dilemma for couples, with counterprogramming of Terminator 3 and Legally Blonde 2 one weekend, The Hulk vs Alex and Emma another. A little of the article, which makes Gothamist a bit batty:
"If it's the first or second date, go with the chick flick," urges John Fate, co-author of "Make Every Girl Want You." "You want to convey to her that you're not like all the other guys out there."
The principle works both ways: When a girl opts to see an action movie, "guys love it," says Fate. "My male friends are all jealous that my girlfriend likes to watch sports and I don't have to get into a fight with her about it."
And if you're further along in your relationship, try the C word (no, not that one) - compromise.
"Make a deal," says Carolyn Bushong, author of "Bring Back the Man You Fell in Love With." "If we see 'T3' tonight, next weekend we'll see 'Legally Blonde.' Or if we see 'T3,' I'll make you dinner - or I'll clean the bathroom."
Or you can see a crappy movie (Gothamist is talking about your movie, Rob Reiner) together and just make out. Just a thought.
