Answer 2

Yes, I would and have. Scary movies are usually not my first choice for movies. But if that's what they want that's what they'll get. That's a battle I'll never fight. As long as I get what I want too. It usually works out cause I rarely end up not liking them. Scary movies these days are very well done and have great plots and stories. Way better than the ones from the 70's & 80's.

Answer 3

Last summer when I had a tasty gf, we went to the drive-in movies a few times.

I quite enjoy the drive-ins. You can listen to the movie on the car stereo and its nice. I'd watch a scary movie if that is what she wanted, but she was more interested in the bourne ultimatum, but I wanted to see live free or die hard, and we watched bruce willis :)
hahahaha. But we went back the next week and watched the new rush hour 3 which she wanted to watch.. So its give and take.

Answer 4

No I don't like horror movies because they mess with my positive beliefs. They tend to program us that it is an unsafe world out there, we are all helpless victims, and have no power over what happens to us.

That is completely the opposite of being in control, knowing that you are the creator of your destiny and being able to make quick and clear decisions for your future that are not based in fear.

Furthermore horror movies also mess with your compassion for others. If you see enough people get cut in half with a chain saw when you hear about it on the news it has less affect on you.
I was reading how during WWII the soldiers were all aiming low because they could not kill other people. The army found out how to change that by having them watch many violent movies, now violence makes up most our movies even action movies, and now soldiers high five after blowing away the enemy.

Interesting how movies reprogram our minds as to what is acceptable.

I don't like the news either for that same matter if I see constantly negativity it turns me negative and can lead to depression as well as a feeling of helplessness.

So I don't want to program myself for that failure victim hood and giving up because I am not in control.

I am the master of my destiny and I wont let negative subconscious thought mess with that.

Answer 5

Up to a point, yes. You just have to compromise and be willing to try movies that might not be in your "zone."

My g/f and I have to do that because I really like sci-fi and she doesn't much care for it. Conversely, she really likes scary movies and I've never been much into those. But she's seen a sci-fi or two with me, and I've seen some scary movies with her, and we've both found we like more than we realized before.

She's still not into really "geeky" sci-fi, and I'm still not into slash-fest horror movies. Even so, my tastes have branched out a little bit and so have hers.

Answer 6

Both my boyfriend and I are up for anything - there isn't much that he would see that I wouldn't and vice versa. We tend to just agree with each other and go to whatever the other one wants to see, even if we're not particularly interested. I've seen some great movies that way!

Answer 7

of course, plus not to be unapropiate, adults are the ones that goes into scary movies , no kids around, so i can be a bigger freak with my lover, i guess because the other people around that might hear us or see us is just a big turn on.

Answer 8

Hi angel baby.

When I was just dating, my boyfriend & I would take turns deciding on a movie, if we couldn't agree on one together.

First, we would scan the movies & try to find one that we were both interested in seeing. That worked most of the time. But sometimes it didn't. So, if there was something I really wanted to see, he would go with me, just to be nice. In the same way, if there was a movie that he really wanted to see, yes, I'd go to see it with him.

However, if I really, really hated scary movies, he would not expect me to go see one with me. He'd wait & go see it with his friends on another day. He had enough respect for me than to put me through something I really couldn't tolerate. In the same vein, if there was a movie he really hated the idea of seeing, I wouldn't expect him to have to put up with it. I'd wait & see it with my friends.

It's all a matter of balance, of being fair to each other & being considerate.

Answer 9

That depends on the kind of mood I was in. My husband and I don't go to the movies often (usually because we can't agree on what to see) so when we do go, it's important that we both enjoy the experience. Usually we compromise.

Answer 10

there are some movies I absolutely refuse to see and he can go with a friend, but otherwise we're pretty flexible and we take turns. it's more if there's one one of us really wants to see that just came out that's where we go.

Answer 11

I still take her to watch that, because of love
