Chick Flicks Aren’t Just For Women, Guys Like Romantic Comedies, Too
The survey conducted by a Kansas State University professor are surprising and go against common stereotypes.
“Chick flicks” aren’t just for women. According to a professor of psychology at Kansas State University, guys like romantic movies, too. And the results could shape how Hollywood makes movies.
Richard Harris says his survey results are surprising and go against common stereotypes.
“Everyone thinks that women like romantic movies and that they drag guys along to them,” he says. “What was significant was that the guys also liked the movies, and that the choice to view a romantic movie was usually made together as a couple, not just by the girl.”
“We found that women really do enjoy romantic movies,” Harris says. “They rated how much they liked the movie at about 6 on the 7-point scale. However, we also found that men liked the movies as well. They rated how much they liked the movie at about 4.8, which is higher than most people would have guessed.”
