My friend's girlfriend refuses to see "Transformers" (movie), however she drags him to every chick-flick and other movies, that he has no interest in seeing like "License to Wed". She claims to be a movie buff, but never sees any block buster movies, like Star Wars, etc.
To make matters worse, she insults my friend's and my opinion, by saying there are no good movies out right now, that "Transformers" is a kid's movie, not for adults. Kid meaning for 6-12 year olds. I told her, in front of my friend, to see the movie before coming to conclusions like that. She then told me I had poor taste in movies. That comment got me upset, but I bit my tongue.
Is her behavior acceptible, or should she suck it up, and see movies that her date would enjoy? Secondly is Transformers for adults as well as for kids? I thought it was for my generation, who grew up in the 1980's, as well as for kids. I am in my late 20's. So are my friend and his girlfriend.

That "friend" is YOU, isn't it?
Simply tell her that it's only fair that if you share movies of HER choosing with her, then SHE should also share moveies of *your* choosing with YOU. Fair's fair. And good relationships often incorporate compromises.

wow, she needs to be more open to various types of movies
besides, if she drags her BF around to all her fav. types of movies, that guy deserves some decision making in movie seeing
ok, i saw Transformers and its is def. for adults as well
when i went to the theatre it was packed with not only a few kids, but the majority were teens/adults
there is a lot of action which is why some people with young children are iffy about taking the kids, but there really isnt any gory stuff so its alright
there is also the typical "love" feel cuz the main character Sam tries to impress this girl and blah
also, there are humurous parts and overall i think its a must see
the graphics are awesome
besides, its seems like its her turn to shut her mouth, sit back, and watch a movie thats not of preference to her
then, she can bash on the movie as much as she wants afterwards

Transformers was the best movie of this year so far, she is definetly not a movie buff to not see this movie. It is more of a guys movie, but still if she likes movies she should see this. All the girls i know really liked it. She sounds pretty immature for being over 20. Her behavior is not accetalble. I think the movie is for adults and teens.

A movie buff?!!!!!!!!! Please! The Transformers movie, if nothing else, is visually amazing. This behavior is not acceptable. I agree that the show didnt give a s**t about logic, but the movie is sorta like war of the worlds, but family-friendly. It has a darker personality. She should go see it if she doesn't mind cliches. This movie is loaded with cliches. But its a movie worth seeing. And yes, transformers are for adults, too.

haha. I wouldn't want to go and see the movie either. Also if I were your friend I'd stop giving in and going to see the movies that only she wants to see. If the two of them can't agree on what to see when out then they should either break it off or just not go to the movies together. You and your friend go see Transformers together, without her. If she has a problem with it tell your friend to tell her to get over it and grow up. She needs to learn to compromise or else none of her relationships will work.
Transformers is probably rated pg 13. Meaning for people 13 and up. I bet that mostly kids and people of our generation who grew up with transformers will go see it.

She really needs to treat him with more respect. At the very least, not insult his tastes in front of other people. Your friend should insist on not seeing movies he doesn't like. If she can't sit through a movie for him, he's not obliged to do so for her. I had a similar issue with my wife years ago, I finally just told her I wasn't going to sit through a movie I hate, but I wouldn't expect her to either. Since then we don't see as many movies together, but at least we both enjoy the ones we do see.

Tough call, I say. I don't think you fixed the right problems, apparently. I say, you don't put her in the situation to make you "frustrated" for awhile. When she tries to start foreplay, don't continue it. Push her away. If she asks you if you trust her, simply, tell her no. No, you don't trust that she really wants to have sex and the only way to prevent yourself from getting frustrated, is to not get into any foreplay. Don't let her manipulate you, which is what it sounds like she's doing. Explain to her that you like her and you're not basing whether you're having sex or not as why you want to stay with her. Tell her, you don't believe she is ready and only doing the other stuff to keep you happy for the time being. Tell her that you are willing to wait but, you only want her to do it when she is ready. If she gets mad, leave and let her calm down. She has no reason to be mad at you.

She should suck it up! And the next time she insults your taste in movies, tell her where to go. I saw 'Transformers' with my 3 year-old daughter and my fiance, and we all loved it! We are also in our twenties, and my fiance loves to see our daughter play with the toys he grew up with. The movie isn't directed toward any age group, and when I went to see it there were just as many women and children as there were men. I think she needs to remember that relationships are all about give AND take, not just take! If her boyfriend wants her to see one "guy movie," where's the harm in that? He's obviously willing to see chick flicks with her.

She must be living in some other world. Transformers is a movie for everyone, my pops went to see it and he's in his late 30's. In a relationship there has to be compromisation if he can watch chick flicks with her she should in return check out what he wants to see. It seems she has control issues. Tell your boy watch himself. It's the little signs you must pay attention to.

Well personally I would not go see Transformers because it looks like a kids movie. However, if his girlfriend doesn't want to see ANYTHING that he does then she needs to get an attitude adjustment!

This girl is weird. I went to see Transformers last week with my boyfriend cause he goes to see movies for me. I love him, so I do things for him that would make him happy, and he does the same for me. She sounds stuck up, this is not a good thing for sure. It is trivial. I'm 25 and i liked the movie!
