Want Your Boyfriend To Watch A Chick Flick With You? Try These 18 Movies That Dudes Admit Are Actually Good

If this doesn't make your man cry, I don't know what will.

Get your popcorn out, your snuggle buddy, and your persuading skills ready because every movie night transpires a friendly altercation between you and your S.O. about what movie you will watch. If it's been months of action, science fiction, and drama movies, you may be yearning for a good old romantic comedy. However, guys have this unjustifiable notion that these rom-coms are just for girls.

They don't want the effeminate cooties to rub off on them.

Nevertheless, society's gender stereotypes are simply ludicrous–everyone enjoys a break from life and "chick flicks" is your best bet to do so. I've contacted a few men and coaxed them to admit which romantic comedies they actually enjoy because, news flash, one's masculinity doesn't vanish while nestled up with your lover.

If anything, you become more of a man as your girlfriend places you with higher regard and falls deeper in love with the gentleman who just wants to spend time with her.

"Silver Linings Playbook"

This movie is crazy good. Plus, the Philadelphia Eagles and football plays an essential role.

"The Titanic"

A classic.

"The Last Song"

The best part is Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth are actually together.

"Forgetting Sarah Marshall"

This movie will have you and your boyfriend hysterically laughing–make sure not to pee your pants!

"How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days"

I made my boyfriend watch this movie on our second date. He wouldn't let me call him Princess Sophia, though.

"The Proposal"

A twist on your boss-assistant fantasy.

"Legally Blonde"

Teach him how to bend... and snap!

"Leap Year"

Yes guys, all girls name their suitcases, especially if it's a Louis—Louis Vuitton I mean.

"10 Things I Hate About You"

Best line of the film.

"50 First Dates"

Imagine waking up everyday having no recollection of the past.

"Friends With Benefits"

Everyone knows that a friends with benefits agreement never works out as planned.

"Sweet Home Alabama"

"You can take the girl out of the honky tonk, but you can't take the honky tonk out of the girl."

"The Notebook"

If this doesn't make your man cry, I don't know what will.

"The Big Sick"

Based on a true story.

"Just Friends"

True love never fades. Even years later.

"Literally Right Before Aaron"

Would you go to an exe's wedding? I want the best for my ex, but I'm not sure I want to be present for the vows.

"There's Something About Mary"

Each and every character is comically priceless.

"Mr. and Mrs. Smith"

An exemplary fusion of a rom-com and action movie. One skilled couple, each an assassin for competing agencies, and both assigned to put an end to the other.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

StableDiffusion

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

13 Times April Ludgate Perfectly Explained College

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis

2351

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.

Adulting

Being A Senior: The Best And Worst Of It

Graduation is coming.

Loyola University Chicago

1083

For many undergraduates across the nation, the home stretch has begun. Only one more semester remains in our undergraduate career. Oh, the places we will go! For the majority of college seniors, this is simultaneously the best and worst year out of the past four and here’s why.

1. The classes you are taking are actually difficult.

A schedule full of easy pottery throwing and film courses is merely a myth on the average campus. With all of those prerequisites for the upper-level courses and the never-ending battle you fight each year during registration for limited class seats, senior year brings with it the ability to register for the final courses you need to fulfill your major. Yet, these are not the easy entry level courses. These are the comprehensive, end of major, capstone courses designed to apply the knowledge from all your previous courses, usually in the form of an extensive research paper or engaged learning project. The upside is you actually probably really enjoy these classes but alas there is no room for slackers here.

When your capability of "adulting" is put to the test

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

"Nobody living in one of the most influential nations in the world should be worried about making ends meet."

What is the current minimum wage at the federal level?

What are the benefits of raising the minimum wage?

What are the states that have set a $15/hour minimum wage?

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

1. When you have to provide an "interesting fact" for your first day ice-breaker.

2. When your professor is babbling on and on in his lecture.

3. When you edit your friend's paper and they get an A.

4. When it's 2 AM and you remember you have a test tomorrow.

5. When you finish taking the test and you're pretty sure you failed...

6. ...but then you get the test back and somehow passed.

7. When you've been up for 12 hours straight writing a paper.

8. And then you manage to stay awake in class the next day.

9. When you have to butter up your professor for an extra credit opportunity.

10. When you're assigned a group project.

11. And your group-mates are trying to chat about life instead of the assignment.

12. When it's your last class of the day and you're about to go home.

3. You and your pals are all of a legal age to drink (even the late bloomers).

5. Apply, interview, rejection, repeat.
