Is it safe to go to the theatres alone or will I get laughed at by teens?

Teens don't go to the theatres, they're broke as fuck. The only people who still go to the theatres in 2026 are adults and adults with their kids for the FOTM Disney movie.

>>220917553
I don't know, last time I went to a theater was to watch the menu and it was 23:00 so there was only me, my friend and a cute girl watching it by herself. My friend thought about approaching her so we could all watch it together, but I sperged out. We spoke with her outside, but never got her name so she basically doesn't exist anymore.

I recently went, alone, to a movie that is popular with younger audiences right now, and I didn't get laughed at
I think some looked in my direction as they were exiting, but nothing happened
>>
>>220917553
With rising theater prices, most dumb teens are getting priced out which, if I was their age, would think it sucks but as a maladjusted adult I find to be quite a boon. I went recently by myself and there was barely anyone there. Teens generally aren't gonna pay 20-25 bucks a head to blab the whole time, throw stuff and be shitheads (no i'm not counting the Minecraft movie memery),
>>
>>220917989
I do it all the time. Just go when the theater doesn't have any people. Its usually me, two other sole people and a few couples in my vicinity.
What sucks is eating at a restaurant alone, even if it's empty. I know I know some people are cool sitting at the bar but I can't even do that. But a movie alone, that's peak easy. You go when nobody is at the theater
>>
>>220918061
Oh that makes sense. I usually only went when theres tons of people. I remember as a teenager I went to see a movie with my parents and I felt like a freak loser with all the teens around me.

Basically, I feel intuitively that as a young man anything other than going with your gf at your side is freakish and sticks out like a sore thumb. Maybe someone will laugh "Look at that fucking incel sitting by himself" in the middle of the movie.
>>
>>220918061
this. just go to the first showing of the day - tickets are usually cheaper too. the theater will be you and 3-5 old retired guys who just want 2 hours away from their wives.

When I went to see Mario I thought it would have been late enough that no one would be there but it was still full of teens. I'm pretty short so I thought they wouldn't notice me but a few groups of kids were really staring at me. One of them said "Sick One Piece shirt dude!" and gave me a thumbs up and I said "Thanks!" but as I was walking away I heard him say "Not!" and another one say "How old was he? Like Forty? So creepy." I thought that was rude since I'm only 28
>>
>>220918096
Oh yeah if I went on a Friday or Saturday night I would feel like the biggest loser, I won't even try that lol
I do afternoon during the matinee and after the movie has been in the theater a good while
Once a small one-screen theater did a reshowing of the Oscar winner so I went to see that. That was in the evening and it was 60 to 70% full with young kids but the last few rows were empty so I took a spot in there and had it to myself. Small theater so view was comfy. Nobody even noticed me. Remember, theaters are dark and I always show up right as the movie starts

I'm a really good looking/attractive dude, the part that sucks about going to the movies alone is you look like you have no friends. Everyone has a few people whose arm they can twist to go watch a movie with them, but you have to schedule that between two people. Its nice to know the one-person tricks for when you feel like spontaneously going to see a movie alone

If you're too self conscious and anxious to go watch a movie alone that's something you need to fix immediately because you are just going to continue getting worse and more miserable. It doesn't matter how much of a loser you are at least allow yourself to exist and do something you enjoy

>>220919025
I did that once. Wasn't a movie but one of those ice skating shows for kids, Disney or one of those. Took a very pretty date, we walked in and it was literally little children everywhere. Right after we took our seats I was like "maybe we should leave," and she was like "I think so too" lol. So that was like $40 or whatever down the drain just to escape that situation. So you made the right call

I did have a friend who had a pee peeve with being called Sir even though he was our senior not just in age but also stature and command. This dude was our captain and our best ass kicker anytime we went out to start a fight (we don't start fights we just finish them but we went to the fight bar to compete with the other fight clubs and shit of course would break out). With him, the don't call me Sir thing was just a reason to get in your face and start something

If I only went to the cinema if/when I could find someone else who wants to see it and hasn't seen it already and our schedules line up, I wouldn't be able to see half the movies I do.
I'm probably alone more often than not. No-one's ever spoke a word to me or even looked at me twice.

I assume some people think of it as primarily a social activity with the actual movie being secondary. I can understand why those people might be surprised that someone would go alone, although I doubt that they actually take active notice.
For me it's the opposite. I go because I like watching films. If there happens to also be a social "shared experience" element to it then that's cool too I guess.
>>
>>220919428
I figured the guess would be military (several of us were in the reserves at the time). I have a friend that is former military police and that's what he had to do, break up fights at the military bar, he said he had to go in there with a baton and crack their thighs in a powerful chop so they crumbled
Our bar was half a mile off one side of Big State U. Sometimes high schools would send groups to mix it up too. They would do it out in the parking lot in their wife beaters. Police usually had a patrol car watching us but we were all white, it's in a commercial area where all the other businesses went home for the night, and we didn't use weapons much (beer bottle over the head and a friend pulling a baseball bat out of his trunk were the only two I saw. I calmed him down and had him put it back. Again there was pretty much always a patrol car watching us. We always did it the same night of the week. We did it inside although one spilled outside around the corner away from were the cop is

Do people actually pay attention to what others are doing at the kinoplex? I never did. And even if you do, how can you tell a person is actually on his own? He could have arrived early and is waiting for his friends. And what's so bad about going on your own anyway? I was doing this for years before I came and heard it was such a big taboo. Let me guess, going to a restaurant on your own is bad too?

but if you live in a civilised 1st world country like japan or england then its fine to go enjoy kino by yourself

if they do you can go on a kino monologue about how you've been coming to the cinema before they were ever born, talk about the things you've seen. C-beams glittering in the dark near the Chinese theater, and such.

>Do people actually pay attention to what others are doing at the kinoplex?
When I'm with someone:
I'm generally obvious to everyone, but when it's busy I always notice everyone hanging all across the front of the kinoplex. Gets some great crowds. Lot of pretty ladies to check out. And it's like that all the way through the ticket line and all across the main lobby
When people say good places for people watching, the kinoplex is great on the busy nights. Its the place to see and be seen. So you plan to do that, bring someone with you

God yes by a million. Here in the states you go live in the all-white states or the all-white suburbs of any city and it mogs the UK. What we consider white here in America is different than in UK. Only 20% of white people in the UK would qualify for white over here. The English descent people here are the lowest tier of White America and we cleaned them up to look at least presentable

Did you ever get the big crowds of pretty people where it's 100 out front and 100 more in the lobby? I would take someone with you on those nights. Remember, this is 4chan, it's the place for retards and everyone who is the most out of touch with reality. Got to be specific here

Go to the first screening of the day.
You'll maybe share a theater with 4-6 other people, even a big movie on opening weekend that first showing is usually scarce.

>>220920764
Are you working at a movie theater now? What do you do there? What's it like? Is it one team that just janitors the theaters, another a team that does the food and tickets and lobby and bathrooms? Who operates the room up top with the film, just the manager?

honestly I prefer going alone because I don't have to coordinate with anyone, or fight over what to see, and its not like you're going to be able to talk during the movie.
And since I'm a grown ass man I'm not making out with girls in the theater either.
