Grown man at cinema on his own

[Littlebluecreature]

Watching Lilo & Stitch..is this odd?

Here with Dd, only one other family here…and this guy, munching on snacks..watching Lilo & Stitch

Is it just me 😂

This has actually really annoyed me. I'm a 32 year old woman and I go to the cinema on my own ALL THE TIME. I have odeon limitless and will literally make a day of it and watch 2-3 films... ON MY OWN. Because I'm a grown up, and can go to places on my own! Jesus I went to Walt Disney World for 10 nights alone because nobody else wanted to go... call the police!!

Film critic or lecturer maybe. I've known a few people in these jobs and they go to everything, usually on their own, including kids films.

I've been to the cinema many times by myself. The only animated film I watched was The Simpsons and I was not the only lone adult in the cinema.

My dsd went to see it yesterday, she’s an adult

No, everyone's allowed to go to films on their own!

We go to cinema every week and there is always single males no matter what film we see

Don't see the problem. Stop being so judgey

I would be suspicious

but then I am aware of how child sex offenders operate and he may just be an adult who likes children's films

This has to be the most ridiculous time to have been called a "cool girl" by this shit show of a site

Going to the cinema on your own isn't odd. I do occasionally. In fact the last time I went on my own I had a pizza all to myself served to my seat!

We don't know what his reasons are, and that's none of your business either.

It's odd that you find it funny enough for the laughing emoji, and to start a thread hoping others will join in, instead of paying attention to the film itself and enjoying time with your dd.

Same. This has annoyed me.

Maybe he's a MN-approved performance parent who insists on going to the cinema on his own first, before the 'official' family visit, to make sure that he deems the content appropriate in every conceivable way for his children and an educationally profitable use of their strict two hours of allowed screen-time per month - probably preparing an in-depth activity sheet for them to verify their comprehension of the material and ensure that no learning opportunities are wasted.

Totally unreasonable. Why can’t someone go to the cinema on their own? I’m 37 and love Disney films, I probably enjoyed stitch more than my daughter did when we watched it at weekend! There are lots of reasons why he might be there on his own and unless he’s harassing you none of them are any of your business. No wonder people are too scared to do anything by themselves these days when the minute they do they get shamed on social media..

This is so spot on. What a fucking joke.

I love your loving life mentality and for not letting being on your own hold you back from experiences 😍 fabulous!

So now men aren't allowed to watch films with children in?

🤣

I get judged when I see horror films alone, the amount of people who say ohhhh are you here alone, or keep looking over to see if anyone comes to sit with me is crazy lol

Middle aged?! It only came out in 2002, so if he was a kid when it came out he'd be in his 30s...

No ones forcing you to be here. Just go find a better site if you hate this one 👋

ive wanted to go to the cinema on my own plenty of times and not ended up going because of being worried about people acting like this…

Over the course of my pretty long life I have indeed been aware of blokes having a fiddle at absolutely ordinary mainstream cinemas. The type of film or time of day has been totally irrelevant. I do live in a big city and the cinemas in question are city centre ones, rather than the out of town retail park multiplexes. I do agree though, you would've thought it was old hat with all the porn available and actually a dirty rain coat cliche/joke but I'm not making it up I promise.

I’m a 31 y/o woman and watched inside out 2 on my own in a cinema full of kids. Cried my eyes out. I didn’t give a F about the kids in the cinema. Lilo and stitch was a huge movie when we were kids, maybe he just needed a pick me up? Unless he was sat rubbing his thighs staring at your kids give people minding their own business a break.

Go! Don't let judgy people on social media stop you doing this. It's a them problem.

I go out for a pint on my own occasionally. I suppose I'm really just casing the joints for potential rape victims or old folk I can mug.

Oh no, you've just reminded me of Alvin and The Chipmunks. I had erased that from my memory.

I've just watched the trailer for Lilo & Stitch and it's definitely not something I"d choose to go and see.

I loved Cars though and made my DS and DH go and watch it me.

I would have probably wondered why he was there but as long as he wasn't doing anything weird I wouldn't think more about it.

People are allowed to go to the cinema on their own. 🙄
