    Default Going to the movies solo...loserly move or not?

    so, I was out of the country for the whole Spiderman 3 thing, but the inner geek in me really wants to see it, and it's playing at the local IMAX, which is even better. However, no one I know wants to go see it.

    On a scale of 1-100, how loserly would it be to go alone?

    I love going to the movies alone. Totally not loser. It would be more loser to stay at home alone because you have nobody to go with, regardless of the activity.

    it depends whether or not your lady friend wont go with you because you were being perverted. j/k Mr. Hyde

    I don't think it is loser-ish at all.

    Going solo is fine. Just don't sit the first or last row. That's screams "creepy."

    Sure, why not. Personally I prefer to watch DVD home alone, but that's so I can get nekid! But yeah, I've gone to movies alone. Its cool.

    I've never gone alone, but why woudl it be loser-ly? You cant(at least you SHOULDNT) socialize in the movies anyway.

    It doesn't bother me so much I'm not sure why it would be an issue.

    And it's pretty good. I had issues with it, but it was enjoyable. I'd be happy to see it alone.

    agreed with all of the above. i don't think it's "loserly".

    sometimes people just want "alone time", prefer to see something by themselves/limit distraction, they're traveling by themselves (i've done this many times), or just want go multiple times to the same movie.

    go enjoy yourself, dude!

    I have done it with no problem. Although I might add I went once at night to see Sin City, and I felt lonely in line because people were all paired up and laughing and I was standing there alone.

    So after that I catch the first showing (plus that's usually matinee price so it's even better!).

    I go to the movies alone, right after I've had a nice dinner alone.
    It's a date with myself. My company is quite enjoyable.
    Totally not loserly at all.

    Go doing during lunch. Less loserly. Ironic such a solitary activity has such a stigma doing alone.

    Nah it aint loserly, like a lot of ladies and gentleman have mentioned that they go alone sometimes. So do i, why would any real peeps even care to notice whether you have a "significant other" or your "crew" wit you......it don't matter.

    This is EXACTLY why I LIKE going to the movies alone. I don't like having to bicker with friends about what movie to go see, or they don't want to go see the movie that I want to see and BLAH! BLAH! BLAH! I'll go to the movies alone any night and enjoy a movie that I actually want to go and watch. I LOVE IT!!! I also go to dinner alone. Like Kaylinn said...it's a date with yourself.

    Ummm, a one, I go places alone frequently. If you don't mind going alone that most certainly doesn't classify you as a loser.

    I think men find it more "loserly" because of how other men will view them. With women, though, going to the movies or dinner alone seems to be more "acceptable" in the public's eye. Like we are actually CHOOSING to go alone.

    Not loserly, in my opinion. I go out to eat by myself sometimes.

    Nothing wrong with going to the movies alone. I don't think I'd go to a restaurant for a sit-down dinner alone but a pub's OK to sit at the bar..

    I've been to the movies a couple of times by myself; it's fine. The awkward part is when I get home and I feel obligated to put out because I paid for the movie, but my hand is tired or I'm not in the mood.
