9 Problems With Rom-Coms That No One Wants To Admit

Even science agrees that they're bad...

By Sara Weir /

Going to the movies to ooh and ahh over the latest Rom Com is considered the perfect choice to create that cute, fun and memorable first date. Nobody has to talk or even look at each other for the first few hours of your night out and you'll ultimately be watching a film that will eventually cause some harm to your future relationship. So whilst you're sitting there thinking about the the position of his arm against yours and what it all means, you might just be setting yourself up for a fall. You'll come out of the movie all hopeful and thinking that he could be The One because the couple in the movie got together in the end, against all odds; so you two definitely have a chance. Because you've went through an emotional journey with the characters on screen, you'll assume that he's had the exact same experience and reaction to the movie, and because the male protagonist falls in love with the girl despite her stereotypical flaws (which you can relate to), then he'll fall in love with you just as easily. In recent studies, people who watch Rom Coms are said to believe in fate, destiny and True Love. Unfortunately life is not a fairytale and these works of fiction can have a negative impact on your love life. You'll probably get upset at the fact that your other half can't read your mind like they do in the movies and you'll question your partner as to why they don't know you as well as Edward knows and loves Bella. You've also tried kissing underwater, having sex on the kitchen floor and have discovered that they just don't work. You're not bitter about Rom Coms, it would just be nice if you could actually enjoy them and not have people lie to you for an hour and a half because they fib about a lot of things...

9. They Make Shower Sex Look Easy

We've all watched Hollywood show the general public how exciting and easy sex in the shower is. The boy is always able to lift the girl up and have her legs wrapped around his hips with the water pouring down on them. It looks lovely, but it really is all a lie. If you've ever tried having sex in the shower, one of you are bound to have slipped, missed and suggested just having sex on the bathroom floor instead. You can't actually see what's going on because the water is pouring down into your eyes and whoever gets the tap end spends the whole time freezing. You probably take it in turns to warm up underneath the water and, although you started off with hope and good intentions, the whole time you're probably thinking 'can we just take this to the bedroom please?' Even when you're in bed, the sex is messy. When has Hollywood ever showed the real mess that you guys make? You're sweating, your hair is all over the place and the sheets are full of stains and they aren't even on the bed anymore. You then take turns to bathroom to clean yourselves up a bit because that is what normal people do after they've had sex.
