Disclaimer: I am about to talk to you about one of my personal pet hates. I am going to rant, I am going to rave, I am not going to even try to present a balanced point of view... I am simply going to tell you how I feel about that spawn of Satan... RomComs (he vomits violently as he types the words). You have been warned!
RomComs. I hate them. Passionately. The reason is that they are so bad for you. They are the Heroin of Television, the cocaine of the entertainment industry. You think it is great, you think it is a fun thing to do, you love it whilst the high last, and it often leaves you wanting more of it... but it is evil poison that fucks you up and leaves you less of a (wo)man than you were before.
What they affect
RomComs are food for the mind. If you eat nothing but burgers and butter you get fat and unhealthy right? The same is true with the way your mind changes based on if you feed it good or bad “food”. All television feeds the brain and therefore affects your view of the world in which you live in. Be careful what you “eat” – because you become what you eat.
The lie they sell you about sex
They tell you so many lies – let’s start with the sex. All movie sex scenes seem to go on for an age. The sex lasts for hours, the “normal” man has an erection that stays hard for days, and everyone has an oh so perfect body. No one can *ever* live up to this level of sex, and you know why? It is not real, it is a lie. Recognise this.
The lies they tell you about how to get sex
It just happens magically! You just walk down the street, you bump into the perfect sexual and romantic partner, and through a series of hilarious consequences you end up sleeping together. It teaches your mind that you can live your life doing nothing, taking no action at all and still get laid. This is a lie – unless you take action you will be a virgin for your whole life.
The biggest lie: There is always something better around the corner
This really gets my goat. Our human lives are lived by comparison. We judge our happiness on comparison. If you live in the slums and you manage to get a small flat, you are super happy with that. If you like in a flat and everyone else lives in mansions then you are likely to be unhappy with your living situation.
RomCom’s tell – specifically women – that there is a perfect guy waiting around the corner from them. They could bump into them at any minute in the lift/street/shopping centre, and it is Hugh Grant or Brad Pitt. This means that they are likely to be less happy in their current relationship and they won’t even know why this is! It reduces sexual and romantic satisfaction for the ladies. I hate it with a passion.
Kill and burn all RomComs rather than feed your mind that poisonous shit. Stay away if you want to be happy.
