In my 20s, every now and then a guy buddy and me would go see a movie.
I saw Hollow Man, Austin Powers, and Hostel in the theatres with male buddies. But I don't think ever after age 30.
But people typically follow a certain path. Hang out with buds in high school, watch a movie ... date, watch movie ... have kids, watch a movie.
I'll be honest. I live in the suburbs, and when I go to the movies with my girlfriend (we're in our 40s), most of the time I feel like we're the only couple there our age without kids.
So, even an older MF couple is quite to very rare. As are two older women, at least in the 'burbs.
If I still lived in NYC and I was going to an indie theatre, then a couple in their 40s or two women would be more common. But so would two men going together as well.
Will guys not do that? Is that just not normal?
I understand they might go in groups but not with another guy. Is that too close to being gay for them?
Sure you can. The question is, do you sit in seats right next to each other?
Back in the 90s a guy who ended up being one of my groomsmen was uncomfortable when he and I alone went to a fairly nice restaurant together. I never thought about it when we went, and I never think that when I see two guys at a movie or restaurant together. But after that, I got the idea that some guys would have to be at a bar, sporting event, or strip club to not have the spotlight effect on them.
I don’t know why some people have a problem with guys going to the movies together? Some are friends, family, partners, or whatever.... It doesn’t matter! Are men supposed to just be cold to each other and not associate?
Back in high school, my best friend and often noticed teenage boys who would go to fast food restaurants together and sit 1 or even 2 tables away from each other. We found it quite ridiculous.
i do it. i'm not gay.
why is it when 2 guys become friends all the girls start snickering and saying stuff like so whats up are you doin some sort of bonding or something???
i mean if 2 guys like each other then they are gay, when a guy pets a cat he's into beastialilty? when a guy smiles at a kid he's a pedaphile?
we need to lighten up on guys a bit no? i wana know when did all this start?
i mean all this stuff goes way past prior acceptable norms.
tell me what is "proper behavior" for a guy.
ok its not john wayne, its no longer apologetic white guy
no longer sir galahad, its definitely not richard simmons.
give me a clue, i am happy to comply.

Ummm, why are you putting all this on women? If YOU don't like being generalized (and I don't blame you) don't do it to us.
I never realized it was even some kind of concept to snicker or laugh at 2 guys doing anything together. I just thought it was human behavior to make and hang with friends. So maybe, the next time one of those girls gets to snickering, tell HER what you told all the rest of us. Call out the problem people specifically.
