Do more men or women write chick flicks?

I believe more men do. Why? Because they are of course trying to get chicks to watch them...hence the title "chick flick." (Plus then they can brag to women that they wrote it and then they will appear "sensitive" in hopes of getting some.)

Yes, several - I'm not sure if any of them is "right", though.\n\nSome friends have suggested to me that it could be something similar to straight males liking lesbian porn - you get to read or write about two characters you like going at it without any women, who a large proportion of the fandom will not be attracted to, involved to get in the way. However, that still wouldn't explain why I like it, since I'm more attracted to other women than I am to men.\n\nIt could partly be the novelty of it - male/male sex and relationships are things that a woman cannot experience in real life so fanfiction could be a good way to explore these things if you're curious about them but don't want to do anything drastic.\n\nIn fandom for some animes/mangas/etc. it could also be partly due to the lack of interesting female characters; if the women aren't interesting in canon you're not going to find them interesting when you read about them in a fic, no matter what they're doing with each other or with the male characters.\n\nA male/male relationship could also seem more equal, and with a same-sex relationship a woman might feel like there was more freedom for the characters not to behave in the way they would be expected to if they were in a relationship with a female (if that makes sense). In a straight relationship there are roles which each person is kind of expected to take based on their sex (maybe not so much in real life, but in things like movies and TV shows), slash may make it easier for a woman to write about or imagine the characters in a relationship without using these roles.

Some do.  I don't know how often this happens.  I think it is inflated somewhat by TV and movies.  But, I know several women who were little more than 'conquests' by insensitive men.\n\nI personally do not think I have every USED a woman for sex.  I have had 'casual' sexual relationships, before I was married, though they were mutual.  \n\nAnd, don't think this is a one way street.  I know of many instances of women using men for sex.  Yes, it is less common, but more common than you might think.

It would depend on what they are doing. Men are better at some things and Woman are better at others.

One thing you can talk about is the dangers of "girl porn."  No, this is not x-rated female pornography, that still fits under the category of "guy porn."  Girl porn consists of romance novels and "chick flicks" or any other media that focus on a woman or the "perfect" relationship.\n\nHow is this porn?  Look at guy porn for a moment.  The appeal of guy porn is firstly, visual.  Men are visual creatures and pornography feeds that need of visual stimulation.  But a bunch of nude women doing nothing is very rare among pornographic media.  You can see that at any art museum.  On the contrary, what's more appealing about pornography is that guys can fantasize that the woman (or women) want nothing but to please the man.  The women in porn movies are usually very vocal, submissive and willing to please no matter what.  It makes it all about the guy.  Even adult magazines have women in exotic locations and poses with the woman staring wantonly in the camera.  It's the same idea of "I want you" that makes it so attractive to men.  Basically, for the viewer of pornography, it's a form of idolatry or self-worship.  They enjoy the idea of being the god of, so to speak, the subject of the porn. \n\nNow, women have their own version of porn called "girl porn" or the romance novel or chick flick.  While romance novels can get pretty steamy and I don't feel they need be addressed too much, most chick flicks are PG, so how can they be called porn?   Unlike the predominantly visual man, women tend to be more emotionally intuitive.  So, the romance novel and chick flick satisfy this emotional part, but that's not what's danerous about them.  Because they satisfy the same desire men have in women, this desire to be admired and worshiped above all things by a man.  This satisfies the same desire guy porn does for the women.  Like guy porn, girl porn allows women to fantasize that the guy is willing to do anything and everything for his lady.  He loves her more than life itself.  He worships her.  She is his goddess, so to speak.  Just as guy porn makes it all about satisfying the all thedesires of the man, girl porn is all about satisfying all the the desires of the woman.  Similar go guy porn, which doesn't show the consequences after the movie (broken relationships, guilt, possible std's or pregnancy, etc.), girl porn is supposedly "happily ever after" as well.  They fall in love and everything goes swimmingly from then on, which is just as unrealistic as two beautiful women being attracted to Ron Jeremy.  \n\nWhat's so bad about being wanted?  Let me answer with another question.  Where does God fit into the traditional chick flick?  The biblical idea of a relationship between man and women are not two people face to face, focused on eachother, it is a man and woman hand in hand, side by side, focused on God.   The chick flick takes God out of the picture and guarantees to satisfy desires that can only be satisfied by a loving relationship with God.

Women do it!  (Myself included!)\n\nI had three friends over last night and we were talking about it...3 out of 4 of us (75%) do it regularly and the other one wants to now.  lol  So that should tell you something...

Yes.  IMO, it is because the "Blue Films" are written in ways that appeal to men more than women (as a rule.)\n\nI was discussing this last week, with a friend of a friend, who works part time in a shop selling sexy items for women.  They stock items from sculpture to jewellery to incense, and ... yes .... even some sex toys!  The shop also stocked movies, but she said they found it difficult to find movies designed as "Blue Films" but FOR WOMEN.

Women want emotional and men prefer the visual.

Girls aren't the only ones.  Guys do as well.

Women show their emotions alot more than men do, but I believe men aren't as emotional as women. Men are more logical, though they do have emotions.

Lots of men do it.  I guess it depends on your taste.

How about the ads with dumb blondes?\n\nPonder....\n\nThe ad world has many men in charge. The targets of ads are generally women, children. So what if men portray themselves as dumb,  it works doesn't it?\n\nThe women  get sucked into buying and doing what their dumb better halves want them to do. It works even better with the single woman, proves to her that she's right into not getting into a permanent relationship, and plays with her vanity, as a matter of fact all women's vanity, even the brainier ones!\n\nSo it does pay to act dumb doesn't it?\n\nst

Men and women are both "programmed", in a sense, by popular culture, peer, pressure, and the media. This starts at a very early age, and by the time we are ready to start getting involved with others, we are already looking for certain things and acting certain ways.\n\nWomen come to believe that they have to look and act a certain way, and sacrifice their individuality to achieve that.\n\nMen are all about bragging rights, and one-upping each other, to the point where early romantic life is not about finding the best mate, but coming home with the best trophy.\n\nThere is good news:\n1) There are lots of guys that are all about individuality, and these are the ones who don't care what others think. They are always looking beyond the looks to see the person inside. (Unfortunately, by shrugging off whatever is currently the cool trends, these guys are by definition not the popular guys.)\n\n2) As guys get older, they finally realize this game, and start looking at women differently. (Unfortunately again, the age this happens on average is in their 30's)\n\nAs a rule of thumb, stick to finding guys who are doing the things you already do. If you are not a "popular culture" kind of girl, then you are looking for someone who is not a "popular culture" kind of guys.

Everyone hopes because old guys are starting to get boring. And guys love girls. And a woman knows more than a man in everything. Guys are so slow at everything, women get the job done no matter what it is.

Men are easier to poke fun at! They often do stupid things on their own naturally, without a script!

Whoa people. Let's not get nasty. I think that there are some great examples from both sexes of real intellect. Not all men think that they're smarter. I have had some real good discussions with women and I feel that there are some very brilliant female minds out there. Those men who "think" that they are should put their money where their mouths are!! I would bet on most women. I consider myself smart, however, I am sure that there's a women somewhere who's smarter. I won't make her feel bad that she is however. And I, will never gloat like a jack***!!!!
