So, I was having a random conversation with a couple people today and was shocked to hear one guy (35+ years old) and one girl (25ish) say that they had never been to a movie alone in their life. Both appear to be casual movie fans but said they never go alone because they feel as if they get weird looks.
Being bored, I decided to do a Google search and see quite a few posts where people seem to think it's weird going alone. Another topic seemed to be "adults" going to see animated movies without kids fearing that someone is going to think that they're basically some sort of pervert and are only there because kids are in the theater.
I guess because I love films I never really thought about it but I always go alone and prefer to go alone. I think my main focus is the movie itself so I don't want somewhere there with me "talking" through the movie or constantly asking if they want to see the movie for whatever trailer is showing. I know a lot of people "prefer" to watch a movie with a crowd but I still try to pick screenings/theaters where I hope there won't be anyone else in there.
So, is it really weird to watch Disney movies by yourself or just going to the movies in general by yourself?
