happiness she will feel and the reciprocal benefits... Half of the fun for a woman is telling their girlfriends that her man went to such a spectacle with her, the implication being his love is, well, you know, so great. Guys who refuse outright to go shopping once and awhile with their woman also don't "get it," in more ways than one.
But, what's thirty bucks? You don't buy all the garbage they have at the theaters, do you?
Take her for a nice salad lunch before the feature and you'll be her knight.
My wife really appreciated the fact I didn't make her go with her female friends since she has attended a lot of "guy" films with me w/out very much reciprocity.

It looks like I will REALLY need some "softener" soon... she put all episodes of Seinfeld in the queue - she never watched them and wanted to know what all the fuss was about... but in a sneaky dastardly way I stuck the Teorema right after the first five DVD's! And she hates Pasolini with passion!
So I am expecting a major shit storm when it arrives! Fortunately she's been growing cooler to Seinfeld... there are good moments here and there, but all in all not the level she was expecting.
But with the wedding just two weeks away no room for theater trips...

  are very strong and clearly stated. For those (like myself) that assumed Italian women still at that time were docile, it was a real eye opener.
  The wedding preparation? Sounds like you should watch one of those Steve Martin Dad movies... Thank God, I've got a few years to save up.

    You assumed (at ANY time?) that Italian women are docile?
    Sheesh....
    - Yeah, I laid a turd with that choice of words. But Italian women - tinear 15:07:53 08/19/06 (0)
      did live in a very male-dominated culture where young girls could not go out alone w/out female relatives in attendance. Teen dating? No way!
      Also, it was considered (still is, I guess) okay for guys to mess around but if the wife did... it was legal to shoot her (nope, not the guy).
      Italian women lagged behind other Western countries in college attendance, jobs, etc. I'd bet they still do.
      But "docile?" No. You're right. My Italian grandmother would crawl from her grave to slap me if she had read that. Oops.

    This way if I go on the floor and make a fool out of myself, it has at least some chance of being somewhat original...
    My wife does not see the "women's opinions" as something not already present in the normal human ones, she is too much of a woman to be a feminist, so all and by itself that alone would not be an attraction for her, but from my memory the Theorema is sufficiently removed from his works she used to find objectionable, and the taste of mediocrity that Seinfeld sets in your mouth might get too much by the time it shows up... so I suspect I will get off with a suspended sentence...
