Not boyfriend friendly

Rikki Greenberg, NBC5 Street Team

The Sex and the City movie comes out this Friday!!

And you know who I feel really bad for?

The poor, defenseless boyfriends who have to go with their girlfriends to see this movie. Even just the thought of sitting in a cramped movie theatre with 5,000 other woman on opening night makes me cringe and I am a female.

Personally, I would never bring my boyfriend to see this movie. It’s like bringing me to go see Saw IV. It’s not my type of movie and I would last about two seconds before springing out of my seat and heading for the nearest exit. I’d imagine this is how guys feel when they hear Carrie blab about her fabulous pair of strappy, silver Manolo Blahniks.

You might as well bring him shopping with you, try on 50 pairs of jeans and ask him if you look fat. For every pair of jeans you try on. And from every angle in a three-way mirror. It equals out to about the same torture as bringing him to this movie. Extreme, yes, but the point is still made.

So ladies, do your boyfriend a favor and do not ask him to go with you to this movie. It’s not fun and it’s just plain cruel. If you’re going to bring him, than the least you can do is return the favor. Watch baseball. Challenge him to a game of beer pong. Or just don’t ever mention the words “Sex and the City” again.

Trust me, your boyfriends will appreciate the gesture.
