I got it.

While sitting and watching some movie of Katie’s….  Sorta, I wasn’t watching, it was on, I simply noticed what seemed to be going on.  But I think I found the key.

Why do women like being chick flix?  Because they love being miserable…  They love being miserable because it is our job as men to make them feel….unmiserable…  And if we cannot, then we are as miserable as the movie was.

Talk about freaking miserable.  These movies represent my biggest fears.  Not the biggest one, but two of the top 3.  Proverbs says the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.  That is fear number 1, thus not represented in chick flix.  Mike’s number 2 fear: as represented in PS I Love you…  I die, and Diana is stuck wallowing in misery.  I trust she would pull through, move on and lead a blessed and wonderful life.  But it is still a huge fear, that the preparation and love I’ve given her somehow isn’t enough to help her through the pain I would imagine that would ensue.  Mike’s number 3 fear: as represented in Grace is Gone…  I didn’t see much of this movie at all, but the gist is (**spoiler alert**),  wife dies and leaves husband with two kids (daughters to be exact).  That is my third biggest fear in the world, having kids, then losing their mom (like my uncle)……

Ugh…  Chick flix are written and produced to torture the men these women are attached to in one way or another.
