I was listening to The Big Picture podcast, of which the podcasters watch way more movies in the theatre than I ever could. They seem like raging extroverts, but I guess a lot of podcasters are. One of them poked fun at men watching a movie alone in the afternoon not being dating material. The host (mostly?) was joking as he was watching the latest Transformers movie alone. It’s not just feeling alone in a crowd in that situation—-people fear being judged as well, like being forever stamped with “not dating material” on your forehead regardless of it being true or not. It kind of bothered me that he focused on that as it just adds to the social stigma.
