Do you believe a romantic comedy could ever happen to you in real life?

Question

Bluemax · Accepted Answer

I think rom coms bear as much resemblance to real life as Star Wars does to NASA.

I have an acquaintance who sorta lived out When Harry Met Sally. Except the genders were reversed (she confessed her feelings to him), but they were in a relationship then broke up. By the way, those couples talking about how they met and got married in the movie were real stories.

I suppose my marriage is a bit like Truly, Madly, Deeply. Except the genders are reversed... and my wife plays the cello *and* piano (and others)... and my wife has yet to come back as a ghost... and I've yet to meet a female art therapist. That sounds more like a tragedy than a comedy. 😔

Romantic comedies are always about some spineless sucker simp making life all about a woman who would not lift 1 finger to do anything for him. He grovels and begs his way into her graces simply because she's female. Women know that the dudes in these movies are retards... I guess they're the male version of a bimbo. Except the male version has to do a LOT more than look good to earn a pat on the head.

There is a line from each of these movies to answer this question with. :) I think it depends on perspective and how open minded you are about life experiences. Some people like to turn everything into a bad thing. “It didn’t work out the way I wanted.” Others embrace what they are given, break down walls and see light on the other side they never knew was there.

My life is a romantic comedy! All my misadventures with dating, exes, being rejected is a joke... my love life is basically a sitcom 🤣 I should write a book on my dating life, I'd make some money.

Pinay_ako · Answer

I believe so. All my romance were comedies and I loved every story because they were real.

jennifer_bloom · Answer

I doubt it since I don’t have that kind of luck where I could make a ton of bad choices and still marry the guy of my dreams

meetkitty123 · Answer

Once upon a time I might have said yes
But now It feels more like West side story/Romeo Juliet or Casablanca duty bound.(Was going to say Titanic... But no that ending was tragic out of stupidity... Damn they could have tied the life vest to the scrap wood and shared the damn door 🙄... Hate the movie 🤢🤮)

Adam1978 · Answer

Extremely unlikely because it doesn't mimic normal reactions. So the people would be ignored or rejected. It's a movie it's written to fit the story. Most people lifes are their own calm spots in a sea of chaos. There will be so much poke their attention that they learn to keep it out for most parts.

Ninani · Answer

They happen all the time. People tend to idealise their own love stories, but most romantic "rom-com" beginnings end in unhealthy relationships.

Anonymous · Answer

These are hypocrisy stories they're only good on paper. In real world it doesn't work like that , the more you give the more you chase the women the more distance she make and more drama and it will end up in bad heart break

In real world things are different

pink_and_inlove · Answer

I think it kinda did lol when I first met my boyfriend there was this random older man trying to get us to vote and sign stuff and he was persistent as hell lol wouldn’t leave us alone he wouldn’t take a hint 😂 that was the first day that we met February 28,2020 . And I guess our whole relationship would be like a romantic comedy because we’re so goofy with each other , I’m always spanking his butt, and we’re always giving each other weird old people kisses lol

Alyssa11 · Answer

I like to think of my life as a series of romantic comedies lol.

TommyMountainFigure · Answer

No.. I'd have more chance of captaining the Starship Enterprise.

tatianamay · Answer

I wish lmao. My life is more of a goofy, comedy sitcom with loads of action and stuff, but no romance lol. But I'm 16, so I'll just concentrate on studies for now. No boys until 21(one of my dad's rules)

karaspara · Answer

Love Actually is not a million miles away from my early twenties lol unfortunately they didn't make a sequel

Anonymous · Answer

Multiple people, people who didn’t even know each other, have compared our life early on as “Pretty Woman”. I am not a billionaire and she was not a prostitute but somehow we give off a vibe that fits. Financially though we did do great in the end so it fits to some degree.

suisuiola · Answer

I think it's possible. I mean that's why they're created in the first place right. There's at least a handful of people who have had this kind of scenario happen to them.

DizzyDesii · Answer

Has plenty of times which is why i like them. I can relate to The Other Woman, To All the Boys I've Loved, Clueless, Love & Basketball, Think Like a Man, Hitch, and Deliver Us From Eva

bigpauly · Answer

I imagine a lot of the stories are possible but don't expect any of that to ever happen to me

cth96190 · Answer

No. My encounters with females have always ended in pain or heartbreak. In my experience, women are toxic and make a sport out of hurring and/or destroying men.

Anonymous · Answer

Most of them are about (by picture ) rich guys and beautiful women. I am neither. If a pretty girl is interested in me , I will feel like she’s joking 😛

Relationships start off as a playful comedy but then turn into a drama with usually a shitty ending.

Guardian45 · Answer

I believe my life is one LONGASS JOKE or romantic comedy! My girlfriend probably agrees!  Someone, somewhere is turning my life into a hilariously uproarious comedy. Think a Jim Carrey movie!!!

@coachtanthony I highly doubt a romantic comedy could ever happen because I believe dating is equivalent to gambling.

I could write a couple, based on my experiences

Ryfyle · Answer

@coachtanthony Fuck no. Romcoms are truly the most decadent symptom of this dying society.
