Default Is it socially accepted to attend a movie alone?

OK, so I'm gonna see a movie in a month or two... I read somewhere that seeing movies is supposed to be one of the most social events that you can do, and that you're always supposed to go with a friend, or you'll look weird and stand out. I stand out enough as it is... And I don't have a girlfriend or any friend that would want to see it (or if they would, they sure as hell wouldn't go at midnight). So... would I really stick out like a hurt thumb if I go to a movie alone? Will I look like a loser or something?

No, besides, why care what anyone thinks about you enjoying a movie?

Yeah dude, who cares? It's not like couples go to the movies to find people going alone to make fun of them.

I don't think anyone really pays attention whether you're alone or not.

At least I don't care. But I don't know anything about sociallyacceptedness.

How is the movies social? All you're supposed to do is sit quietly and watch the movie. Unless the people who wrote whatever you read are like my mother who never shuts up during movies >.< And I've gone to the movies by myself plenty of times. I like it better that way, actually. No one else to be concerned about losing once the movie lets out. Especially at midnight.

I see no issue with it... I mean, its not liike you're talking to yourself over a dinner of fine French dining and a cool wine. Its where you sit in a dark room and people do shit to each other on a screen.

I know many people who go to see movies alone, if you're comfortable with doing so then do it. Why does it matter what anyone else thinks?

WTF it's a movie that's it

Even if it isn't "socially acceptable" why care what some stranger thinks
