Grown man at cinema on his own

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 😂

I can almost guarantee the 20-year-olds you meet do not feel the same way.

its you. next question

Is he naked? If not, absolutely fine

So for your reply to have any relevance to this thread, are you saying someone should have "called out this weird behaviour"? Exactly what should someone say, to call out this shocking and abhorrent behaviour that involved someone doing absolutely nothing wrong, in a place that they shouldn't be excluded from either by law or common sense? How would you have approached this?

What? Well no. Because I'm twice their age. The 60 year olds i know consider me to be young though. So what's the relevance?

You wouldn't be writing this post if it was a woman on her own. Are men not allowed to like Disney?

I think you are weirder for feeling the need to write a thread about it.

It's funny because when my parents were younger there were so many things that were unacceptable for a woman to do. Pretty much anything a woman did alone was frowned upon. Many people living here from other cultures still hold these views. For the most part we think they are unfair and sexist and we loudly object to those imposing these social rules. Yet it seems we have come full circle. Almost anything a man does alone now is seen as unacceptable by some. The stronger women's voices become the more sexism I see, it's sad because I used to think that sexism was a mans problem but I now believe that it cuts both ways and will become just as damaging if it continues to increase momentum

Would you have.asied the same question if it had been a woman sitting in the cinema by herself watching Lilo and stitch?

Why so judgy? People don’t have to follow your template of what is appropriate.

Even heard of a Disney Adult? Sounds like he wanted to enjoy a movie on his own.

You were there with your children. Did you find time to parent your own children or were you too caught up being judgemental?

You’re so small minded! Not everybody alive is the same as you, you know.

Its ok for single women and dads but not single men some on this thread need to get there heads out there backsides and stop being so stuck up.
Maybe we should have single men only screenings that would give you all something else to bitch over.

He is almost certainly a MI6 agent testing his newly issued night vision googles prior to an overseas assignment.

You see this a lot in the Vauxhall area of London.

You never actually know why he was watching it.

Maybe he had a free ticket to use up.
Maybe he works in childcare and wants to understand what the kids like.
Maybe he was reviewing it for a dissertation on psychology or a magazine.
Maybe he was employed by the cinema as covert security.
Or maybe one of a hundred other things.

Or horror of horrors. Maybe he actually likes it.

Theres small minded and there is being stuck up.

People like you are the reason I haven't plucked up the courage yet to go to the cinema on my own. Seperated from my husband of 23 years and finding my way on my own is tough. There is loads I want to try on my own but don't due to fear of judgement

In reality, of course it's bloody odd. I'd be curious if I saw a grown man sitting watching a cartoon alone in a cinema.

Cartoon? You don’t sound like you know much about the movie? Still got an opinion though!

He's not hurting anyone
Leave him be

I think it’s completely irrelevant if you thinks it’s weird or not. I wouldn’t think it was, someone else might think it is. But either way, being weird isn’t a crime

Wtf has this got to do with the trans debate?

And also how do you know what people's political stances are?

Not hating all men doesn't mean people don't believe in certain other things. It also doesn't mean that they do.

It's a cinema, not a women's area.

I don't think that's what the OP is insinuating at all. She just thinks it's strange that an adult would go and sit through a kids' film when they could be watching something a bit more interesting.

With you on this (I posted about this very thing above!) I’d probably want to go watch Disney if I know my kids have seen it with their dad so I know what they’ve seen and can share in chatting to them about it. It’s the judgmental people out there that are stopping me. Nice to see it’s such a minority though. That makes me feel better.

Adults, both male and female have been going to the cinema alone to watch animated films since the days of 'Happy feet'.

Not everyone wants to 'borrow' a nephew or niece in order to do so.

Was the film any good?

I won’t judge as I told my brother who is in his 30s that dh and dd1 will be going to see it soon. He’s asked if we can wait until he comes back from holiday so he can go with them too… without his kids 😂

FYI on that one his kids are very young and wouldn’t enjoy it.

This is so depressing that a person can’t go and do something alone. Maybe the poor guy has no friends. FFS.
