Am I the only one who does that? I get to go away from people I live with, there is dark, can pick out the spot where people won't see me cry, and I can enjoy whatever movie I want and not discuss with anybody how was it.

bro, man, i go to the theatre alone all the time. Aint no thing at all. Why would you want to go to a movie to have someone next to you constantly wanting to talk? Even if you did go see a movie with someone else, it would probably be some braindead nu-comedy or shit. I hope you have good taste in movies and only see top tier releases. movies nowadays arent worth seeing, even by yourself. But if you have to go spend an hour and a half alone, a theatre aint a bad way to do it.

>>28401458

Theatres around me don't allow single men.

I don't go out. Is this a meme or does it actually happen?

why would a theater turn away customers and loose profits?
>>
>>28401607
theater by me said 'no single ticket sales' when i went last night

pisses me off wanted to see the new captain america movie but no friends.
>>
>>28401633

Around here, we had a scare where some kid said there were pedos in the theater bathrooms. Turned out to be a lie, but they don't sell tickets to singles now "for the safety of our patrons"
>>
>>28401607
Not him, but I've been kicked out for being a single man.

>>28401757
No. I was literally just watching the movie. Apparently having to look in their direction to see the screen was aggressive.

Doesn't matter. If she felt uncomfortable, he needs to leave.

>>28401716
We do this at our theater, but it's because women complained about guys looking at them during the movie.

>I don't even
>>
>>28401458
No, I do this too senpai.

I don't do it to avoid people though or cry.

I just go to watch the movie.
>>
Don't do it dude, controls have really been tightened up lately, chances are they will catch and you'll have to pay the fine.
>>
>>28401579
that's a fucking discrimination

It's not bait. It happened to me.
>>
>>28401824

Isn't it more discriminatory to have female patrons be uncomfortable because there's guys trying to hit on them?

They're paying patrons, too. If a group is being consistently disruptive, then they should be excluded.

>next you'll say women-only buses and traincars are discriminatory
>>
What the fuck OP?
How did you get past the no singles policy?!?!?

Did you say your date is coming later or did you pay a homeless guy to go in with you? Did you just sneak in?
>>
>>28401862

I just work there, I don't make the policies.
>>
>>28401458
I did this for the first time back in January. It was a revolutionary experience for me. I watched some shitty Frankenstein adaptation with James McAvoy and Daniel Radcliffe. It was a liberating experience. It's like I feel more self-conscious about what total strangers think of me based on the kinds of people that I'm forced to be around.

>Around here, we had a scare where some kid said there were pedos in the theater bathrooms. Turned out to be a lie, but they don't sell tickets to singles now "for the safety of our patrons"

I guess I'm OK with this reasoning.

Better safe than sorry, etc. But it sucks, I like going to the theater...it's comfy.
>>
>>28401941
there is no such rule in my country as far as i am aware. if they told me any such bullshit I would throw a scene.
>>
>>28401895
Nah, you could sue.

It would be the same as banning minorities because they're more dangerous.

Of course none of this is real, because theatres are rarely this retarded.
>>
God forbid anyone should go to the cinema to actually watch a fucking film

Surprisingly the theaters bar is cheaper than a normal bar.
>>
>>28401716

Same at our theater. They will let single men in sometimes when a show isn't crowded, but they ask you not to sit near children.

>tfw no even remotely interested
>get treated like a criminal anyhow
>>
>>28402096

Where do you live that your theaters have bars?

Shit, man...wonder if they let you light up in Colorado & Oregon
>>
>>28402037

You'd probably try to pirate it.

Ohio. The theater I go to in particular spent like tens of million dollars completely rebuilding itself from the ground up. the seats are all similar to recliner chairs and each projector is some ultra grade quarter million dollar model. The bar is also extremely nice, was super pumped when I heard they were putting a bar into the theater. Nothing like getting tanked to make up for how un-original movies are these days.
>>
So with this singles policy, does it mainly target men? Are single grills allowed to go alone? I'm not a girl btw, I'm just asking

I go to concerts and movies alone all the time. I like being alone with everyone around me just treating me like I'm a ghost.
>>
>>28402300
did you never drink on an empty stomach?
>>
>>28402289

Supposedly, all singles, but I don't know if they enforce that.
>>
>>28401458

I used to love going to movies alone. Something magical about it.

Wish they would change the rules back.

I can't tell if this is an elaborate meme or not. Theres no way theaters would do this.

It's not a meme. Sorry.

>walk up to snack bar to order some crablegs

What the FUCK?
>>
>>28401458
I go with my dad. I have no friends and my cousin who is 2-3 years younger than me refuses to go because he doesn't want to watch a subtitled film. (I'm HoH)

Maybe i should stop being a dissapointment and tell my dad i am going with someone and just go alone instead? He'd probably even give me money to spend because he'd be made up about me going with someone to the cinema.
>>
>>28402957
The sheer fact that this has never been reliably documented on the internet should tell you already.
>>
>>28401458
I go alone occasionally. Going Wednesday or Thursday nights at the last showing of the evening is god tier. The theater usually has at most 10 post people so there's good amount of space to sit alone and spread out.
>>
>>28401659
Don't go opening you dipshit. Wait a few days and go during the week when it's way less busy.
>>
>>28401458

I do it but I hate doing it.
>>
>>28403247
Dont get me started.
my local movie place doesn't even offer shampoo
