Bizarre Girl Issues

[Gibsie]

Look: is she good in bed? That's the main thing.

Bugs, how old is the novel? I remember reading a couple Postman short stories in Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine. that must have been the mid eighties, if not earlier.

I feel a bit like Jerry Seinfeld now with this girl-she's seems all right, except for this one bizarre flaw. I'm honestly considering whether I should continue a relationship with a girl who lists "The Postman" as her favorite movie. "The Postman"! Can I really be that shallow??? Isn't this indicative of her tastes?

Do you think you could fit your mind in this narrow space?

Cairo, if it was just the Postman thing, it would be fine, but you have to do word association here to figure what kind of person she is:

Postman...

(someone continue on this word association please)

[Hobbes]

Oh, and Gandhi is my favorite movie too! I also like Interview with the Vampire.

[Asher]

The Postman...that's good, I should remember that next time I want to get someone to stop talking to me.

I would have told her my favorite movie of all time was "Freddie Got Fingered" and see how fast she left.

I just had a date with a girl who was attractive, seemingly normal, and intelligent. Everything was going fine until I mentioned that "Interview With the Vampire" was on TV at the pizza place we had just entered. We then started to discuss really long movies. I, like any normal human being, said that I thought "The Postman" (Kevin Costner version, not the Italian version) was one of the longest and worst movies of all time. She got really uptight and said that it was her favorite movie! I got a little snide and asked her if she liked the first eight hours or the last, and she really didn't respond.

I feel a bit like Jerry Seinfeld now with this girl-she's seems all right, except for this one bizarre flaw. I'm honestly considering whether I should continue a relationship with a girl who lists "The Postman" as her favorite movie. "The Postman"! Can I really be that shallow??? Isn't this indicative of her tastes? Does this mean we are incompatible?

I also joked to her that Kevin Coster and she were the only two people on the planet that liked that movie. I think I went a bit too far with that one, but maybe she just took it as the total joke that it was. Then again, I'd probably be a little irritated if someone made cracks about "Gandhi" (my fave movie).

What should I do?

You're retarded.

The Postman was a good movie in my opinion. But not one of the "great" movies.

who thinks that this thread title would serve as a great 3-word description of Boddington's love life

(I know I had to do a double take to see who had written it)

Dude, I think ya should apologize on the next date.
Just tell her that whatever movies she likes is her thang.

I've met some ppl w/really messed up tastes and I've noticed my taste is just as weird.

Just try and smooth things over by apologizin'.....THEN get yer freak on!

[Mr. President]

Cairo, what did you expect from us? "Dude, you should dump her just because she doesn't like the same movies as you"? I don't even know you and I'm shocked and horrified.

One thing is not liking movies other people like, but bashing the other person over things they appreciate is a whole different animal.

Learn to be respectful even when you don't like stuff. Its called the foundation to good relationships.

That's the ironic part. He's polling his friends and Apolyton about whether he should still go out with her, and meanwhile she's probably thinking "He didn't like The Postman, what a loser."

(Nothing personal Cairo)

[Eroberer]

I'm sure she's right. I think he's a loser and I wasn't even there.

The postman?

Oh come on, theres tons of movies that are worse than the postman! It isnt a classic by any means, but I can think of hundreds of worse movies.

Diasagreement about things is a good thing for a relationship. Not about the big things perhaps, but about stupid trivial stuff like this. A carbon copy SO would have to be the most boring thing.

Seriously, this is a non-issue. But if youre such a snob that taste in movies can come between you, break up not to do YOU a favor, do it for HER. Your "better than thou" attitude will bore her to death after awhile.

After you break up, you can find someone whos as "sophisticated" and "refined" as you......

[Blackwidow24]

DUMP HER NOW!

Really what's the point of getting into a relationship with someone who ALREADY annoys you? What are you thinking?? That you can get use to these annoying habbits or preferences??? NOOOOOOO...don't settle this is your life you are talking about!!!!! I know you know that WOMEN can make you or BREAK you..so before you get into something you really wish you hadn't STOP..THINK..and REALIZE..people DON'T change they just get OLDER!!!!! ANd she will always Like *eerie spooky music* THE POSTMAN!!!

And for you guys that think he is being stupid..how many women have you wasted your time with because you thought she would change????
