I think that chick flicks are meant to give us unrealistic and sometimes unfair expectations of guys. For example, you can't expect every boyfriend you have to come running through the boarding gates at the airport and apologize and say they love you. That just doesn't happen. First of all, they would get tackled by security, and second, no one puts in that much effort. Every girl wants a guy that will throw rocks at their window and leave a rose petal trail to a candlelit dinner, but is it really logical to think this way? Guys are just as busy as girls are, and no one has the time to plan all of this out and succeed in doing so.
At the same time, it's kind of sad. I wish that it was more realistic for guys to go out of their way to get a smile from their girl. It's a totally unfair ideal, but it's all we've ever been shown. In every chick flick- which are favorites of the female population- there is a girl and a guy who go through a struggle, girl gets angry, and guy does some wonderous act to make her not angry. Then happy ever after.
I just wanna know, what happens the next time they get in a fight? Is he supposed to write her name in the sky every time they argue? Should she expect a love note on her pillow after each altercation? Of course not. That's just not practical. I do think that there is some sort of in between, however. For example, my sister's ex boyfriend used to send her cute good morning texts and messages on her computer about how he was up and just thinking about her and wanted to let her know. I think that's better than having your name written in the sky.
While it's wonderful, I don't think it is a necessity to have all of these lavish gestures given unto women. I think that the nicest things are the little things that come from the heart, like just telling your girl that you care.
