"Christ, I don't know if I can have any kind of a future with somebody who thinks American Graffiti is at best affably mediocre."

I've said this more than once.

LOL I can definitely see a lack of appreciation for American Graffiti being a relationship deal-breaker!

Hey Hooooz!

oh no you're not Hoos! Oh my. Why is everyone impersonating Hoos these days? I'm so sorry! :(

RE: tast

Kind of off-topic but I have a friend who bought a girl on a first date to the passion of the Christ.

Went on a date there a few weeks ago and the girl's favourite comedies were King of Queens and Becker. I kind of knew then and there that it wasn't going to work out...

um, I will never enter a relationship with a girl who is into the Maury Povich show...no matter how hard up I am (and I'm pretty hard up)...

how did i know this would be a rabin article

I'm 30, and I hate Seinfeld. I do not want to waste a single minute of my life with those incredibly unpleasant, shallow, self-centered people. (It probably also doesn't hurt that I had a high school friend who was irrationally obsessed and actually forced me to watch episode after episode against my will.)

There's a reason for you.

So there.

if I smacked girl's ass during sex, and she said "now we see the violence inherent in the system" I think that would turn me on.

Or isf she held me down and wouldn't let me up til i said "help, help, I'm being oppressed"

Lame girls are cool

by Doc Taco

I once met a girl who was so un-hip. She had never heard a Pixies song, and early on in our dating she gave me a mix-CD with Shakira on it. Continuing to date her was a tough pill to swallow, to say the least. But we persevered, and 4 years later we are married and the envy of all the couples we know. We get along great and are very happy. She doesn't complain about me spending money at the record store and I don't try to make her watch zombie movies. Also I have suceeded in getting her into the New Pornographers, the Mountain Goats, and Okkervil River. The lessen here is that my smug pop-culture self-importance almost cost me the world.

he seems alright

NEVER HEARD A PIXIES SONG!?

I'm at this point now...

by jeesushaych

My girlfriend of many years likes very few things I like and I hate almost all of her music,tv shows etc. When she first flipped through my CDs she picked up Led ZeppelinIII and exclaimed "Led Zepelleeneey, I've heard of this..."
We get along well for the most part because we're both fairly easygoing, but the little shit is getting harder to tolerate lately. I found it difficult to talk to her when I discovered the new Katy Perry album on her IPod. Are we heading inexorably to the end of our relationship?...(Sorry if this belongs in Savage Love...)...

The Simpsons use to be on my list...

by Joseph never logs in

Until I dated a girl who liked it a little too much. I didn't think it was possible because I can have conversations with friends in only simpsons qoutes. I mean nothing has shaped my adult life more than the Simpsons and when I found out she loved it and could qoute it as much as me I knew she was a keeper.

Then I went to her apartment and dear lord she has simpsons sheets and simpsons toys all over her place the fridge was even full of buzz cola from the 7/11 promotion (which she drove 5 hours to get because there isn't a 7/11 here). the only thing she watched was the simpsons and she would want to role play as marge and homer during sex. I was simpsoned out after 3 months of dating her.

A tiny siren goes off in your head, and you suddenly realise that this relationship is doomed. Not immediately, but irrevocably.

For me? "Honestly, I could not get on with that Neutral Milk thingy album you lent me. But guess what? I got us tickets to go see Sum 41!"

my wife tolerates my love for the above & the marx bros (she doesn't like b&w movies!) & monty python, but she she shares my taste for almost everything else. here's to our abiding love for each other, & her abiding me

by RecoveringPitchforkAddict

And to make it worse, she will sometimes insist that she hates something to irritate me. And to be honest, if she hadn't finally admitted to liking David Bowie, I'm not sure we would have gotten married.

She also pretended for years to not like Interpol and Broken Social Scene, again, just to irritate me.

You know what you call that?

Entertainment Tonight

by yo yo champ

I divorced my wife because she would watch Entertainment Tonight and read People (when she read), whilst I would rather read. In hindsight it was a huge mistake; we had more in common than I thought.

4:37 PM Thurs October 9, 2008

it's weird that married couples can get into fights about broken social scene already

makes me feel old

i got into a race-baiting fight about "walking in memphis" last night

"It's kinda funny that this song is basically about how transcendent it is to hang out with black people."

"....what?"

im being serious when i say: tell us more

haw xpost

I know how you feel

by me, too

I was dating an absolutely stunning woman several years ago, who thought Madonna was the end all and be all. Now, I'm no fan of Madonna's music (mediocre, at best), but we went to see Swept Away on opening night (my wanting to see Underworld instead was considered "delusional"). Anyway, there was one, ONE, other couple in the theatre at the beginning of this stinker and the guy (lucky for him) got up about twenty minutes into it, left his date alone, and didn't come back until the end. So, the movie's over, the credit's are rolling and the usher comes by while sweeping the row in front us and asks us what we thought of the movie. I'm about to pipe in about how I thought it was probably the worst movie (no hyperbole) I have ever seen when my date starts gushing on and on about it how it was "so moving, so beautiful, so touching... blah, blah, blah, blah, blah". I tell you, when she did, I knew it wouldn't last.

Bad Date

by ba

I once spent an evening making out with a girl to a repeating soundtrack consisting of mariah carey's "touch my body," john mayer, that chris brown gum commercial song, and coldplay.

Not only was that never happening again, but I may have PTSD now.

Eminem and Sex.

by Concerny

A girl I knew once broke up with her boyfriend because when she told him that they couldn't listen to Eminem during sex (after a month or so of it), he just put his headphones on and fucked her while mouthing the words to "Without Me."

True, sad story.

Also, how about common sense and more general cultural attitudes? I doubt anyone here would ever date a Scientologist, but what about a person who didn't buckle their seatbelt? Is smoking or vegetarianism a deal-breaker?

And what's more annoying, talking during the movies or getting really, really mad because your sig. oth. does?

RE: Eminem and Sex.

by bee man

I don't think I could date a girl who didn't use any drugs. I can deal with her not liking weed or booze or coke, but if she didn't like any of the above things would probably get kind of awkward. On the other hand, I'm way too smart to get attached to anyone who is into meth or heroin.

Girlfriend, no - fiancee (had blocked that part out) takes me to the movies. Was Highlander 2. Relationship ended badly.

8:02 PM Thurs October 9, 2008

how is american graffiti so important to everyone? wouldn't a lack of appreciation for something like david lynch or john carpenter flicks be much more of a deal-breaker?

maybe it's a generational thing?

btw-- highlander 2 has its moments...

I got pretty tight with a girl who'd never seen Star Wars once. Wouldn't've stopped me, but it was pretty fuckin weird

Whoever cannot marry someone who doesn't love something really macho like hair metal or AC/DC is doomed, I guess....

i just found out one of my friends has never seen star wars - it is very weird

my gf has never seen star wars, and i would make her, but i think shed hate it, and then wed get in a big fight about it

op-bomb

i once went on a date with a film student, and her favourite movie was a rom-com starring Ryan Reynolds. That was a deal-breaker.

not to sound like dudes in those avclub comments or anything but thats weird!!!

well the truth is, and i hate to admit it, i really dont care as much about star wars as i used to! i mean it was the most important thing in my life in like 6-7th (cred alert: i can still recite from memory the greedo dialogue) but i sort of exhausted my obsessiveness a while ago. i havent even seen it in two or three years. this isnt a "star wars sucks" challop either, it just doesnt mean as much to me, its like nirvana or lifetime or something. still have mad love <3 tho.

actually i dont know why i said shed hate it, she loves corny sci-fi shit, she would probably just hate that i was making her watch it and then watching her reaction to it the whole time, see for example the episode of how i met your mother with the exact same dilemma

ive only seen the first one and i thought it was only okay

i hate sci fi stuff though

i'm in the "never seen star wars" camp also

i never had a really obsessive star wars era in my life i guess so its just sorta always been there as something cool.

and once again, an ilx thread becomes the very thing it was orignially making fun of
