A study finds that at least a quarter of men report that they secretly enjoy so-called “chick flick” or romance films, naming titles such as *Twilight*, *Pretty Woman*, and *Mamma Mia* among their “guilty pleasures.” The reporting indicates that some men may still keep this preference private.
The outlets frame the finding around everyday dynamics at home, noting that partners may react when the football is turned off for a romance film. While the emphasis differs, both accounts rely on the same basic claim: a minority of men—described as roughly one-quarter—admits a hidden taste for romantic movies. The coverage does not provide further detail about the study’s methodology, sample size, or whether responses reflect current viewing habits or general preferences.
Overall, the articles present the results as evidence that interest in romance-focused cinema is present among men, even if it is not openly discussed.
