is a guy at the movies alone creepy?

I was talking to a friend awhile back and he doesn't go to movies because he says guys who go to the movies alone are creepy.  But why cant a guy go and see a movie??  I'm not sure why that's creepy.  When I see a guy alone at a movie, I just assume he wants to see the movie lol.

i think maybe hes interested in you. thats why he stated that previously. he wants u to go to movies with him.

Nah, nothing creepy about it.

Now, THIS is creepy...

They're creepy only if they go alone on a Friday night. Otherwise, meh.

I often think about going to see a movie alone but I too feel like I'd look creepy.  It may be because in todays world it seems more fitting to go see a movie with a friend.  My mother goes to movies by herself all the time, she has no problem with it.  My Dad is not "go see a show kinda guy" 

Your friend is not alone.  I'm not sure what's wrong with it but, it just feels wrong...... and creepy!   Kinda like a guy alone at the park..............:?

I did it once, and I did not feel comfortable. It's a good think it was Star Wars Episode II and no one cared. I do think it depends on the type of movie. A long guy at a scifi or action movie isn't a big deal. A lone guy at a romcom or kids movie is creepy.

I hope not because I always go to the cinema alone :P If I really want to see a paticular movie, I can't be arsed to wait till my friends are free.

i don't think so, but i bet that's what a lot of people think

i remember when i went to go see scott pilgrim with some friends: there was only a group of seats free at the very front row, so i said, fvck that, and found a single seat uptop. i did get some pretty judgemental looks and quips from kids

No, it isn't. Good Christ, people need to stop worrying so much about what they're afraid that other people might think.

I often go to see movies by myself, especially if they are "guy" type flicks. I would say that a guy alone at a chick flick would be creepy or gay.

Extremely creepy.

I'm not joking at all. This is the main reason I don't go to the cinema by myself because it always makes me feel like I have no friends. It's one of my top five problems with myself. It affects me so much that I never went to go see the Avengers because I had nobody to go with. It affects me so much that I probably won't see Pacific Rim or Wolverine or Kick-Ass 2 even though I really, REALLY want to go see them.TruthTellers

If it helps realize that nobody there is going to be paying any attention whatsoever to you.

This is just stupid. If there is a movie that I really want to see like Dark Knight rises then I'll see it alone because I just have to see the movie.

Again this is silly.

So? Why is this an issue?

[QUOTE="worlock77"]

[QUOTE="TruthTellers"] Yeah, but I'll know that I'm alone. The only movie I've ever seen alone was Dark Knight Rises on a Friday and there was only about 30 people there for it. I think they got scared off because of the Aurora shooting.TruthTellers

So? Why is this an issue?

Allicrombie

Exactly.

Nope. I go alone to movies that my friends don't want to see or when they aren't free. A lot of people in LA do it lol. 

Depends, if it's a packed cinema I don't see the big deal, I've done it. But I think it's a bit creepy if there only like 5 other people in there and that one guy just slinks in at the back behind everyone like a f***ing serial killer.bobbetybob

Seriously? Jesus f*cking Christ people....

*shakes head*

Seriously. Can guys do anything these days without being persecuted? 

I watched Moonrise Kingdom last year and it was only me and some other dude there lol. I like the immersion. 

I wouldnt think so.

unfortunately i go to the movies alone because my wife hates them.   i never feel creepy, i just get a big coke and huge popcorn and reese pieces and put the reese pieces in the popcorn.... 

[QUOTE="Allicrombie"][QUOTE="TruthTellers"] Because I already have low self-esteem. Being alone at the movies only lowers it more, so I just don't go. It really sucks.worlock77

Exactly.

Hang on..  How many males do you see alone at the movies when you go?   Would you go mini putting alone if you enjoyed it?   I went golfing about 10 years ago by myself and felt so outta place.   My GF at the time always golfed with me on the weekends but I had the day off work and felt like golfing....  I just felt so wierd doing it alone!

The Lovely Bones.. Nobody else wanted to see it so I went myself, I felt pretty uncomfortable at the start when people were walking in looking for seats, but when the movie started everybody was too busy thinking about how much it sucked to care about my lack of company.

Also, My girlfriend took me to see Marley & Me but it got too sad, so I walked out half way and went into Madagascar 2 and I was getting some really strange looks.

LOL, those Madagascar movies are great.  I still havn't seen 3 yet.   I'll watch that alone in my own time :)

Not really.  There are movies I'd like to see, but I'm not gonna drag the wife along if it's something I know she's not gonna have any interest in.

1. I don't know because I'm there to watch a movie, not observe other people to figure out who's alone and who isn't.

2. Yes. Anything I enjoy doing I would enjoy doing alone.

To your #1, bully for you, I'd still feel wierd.  To your #2...  Bully for you!

I would say that it is "creepy," just a little weird.

ofc that hasn't stopped me from doing it before
