How to Convince Your Significant Other to Watch Chick Flicks

Legally Blonde, When Harry Met Sally...sometimes you just want to watch a chick flick. But if your man is more The Terminator than The Shopaholic, here's how to sneak in an occasional chick flick.

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• A good DVD.
• One of the following stars: Julia Roberts, Kate Hudson, Reese Witherspoon, or Sandra Bullock.
• Tissues (for you and your man).

1. 
   Patrick Dempsey, Reese Witherspoon - the ultimate chick flick! (Photo courtesy of: http://www.impawards.com/2002/posters/sweet_home_alabama.jpg)

   After selecting your chick flick of choice, put it in another DVD box (preferably one your significant other will enjoy). Good options include: Die Hard, The Terminator, The Fast and the Furious, and anything with Sylvester Stallone.

2. 
   When Harry Met Sally - the ULTIMATE chick flick. (Photo from http://www.realclearsports.com/blog/2008/09/what_to_watch_wednesday_40.html).

   Once you have started the movie, hide the DVD remote (he'll be less likely to want to get up to change the movie).

3. If he still doesn't accept the movie, strike a bargain to watch a favorite movie of his following the chick flick.

4. If that STILL doesn't work, tell him it's the favorite movie of his favorite sports star/Vin Diesel/Jean Claude Van Damme/resident tough guy.

5. If he still will not agree, turn the movie off, and watch it as soon as he goes to sleep!

Tips & Warnings

• Remind your significant other that he may actually like that movie - and that you won't tell his friends that he does!
• Deception may be involved - but you CAN do this!
