A form of selfishness.

I used to have a problem with watching romantic movies while I was still attached. When bugged about it, I fell back on the standard male-chauvinist response,"It was made for women." The truth is, watching them back then made me feel conflicted. On one hand, I had the impression that the movies were unrealistic depictions of real life. On the other, I caught myself thinking,"I want my life to be like that. But I don't want to change a single thing about myself to get there." Not in so many words, but in retrospect, I'm sure that what I meant. So sorry for bursting your righteous bubble, me-in-the-past. I'm such a selfish bastard.
