In the reading by Chuck Klosterman, This is Emo, he how women are wrapped up in the fake romance in movies and TV shows. He gives the example of John Cusack in the movie Say Anything. John Cusack's character is charming and romantic, everything a girl wants and dreams of. The problem when it comes to romantic movies and women is that they fill their heads with the thought that the men they date should act like the men they see on movies, so when they don't live up to the standards women have it's practically ruined. Klosterman is completely right when he explains that women have high standards for men because of romance movies they have watched.
