Indeed. I hate the genre in general because there is so much crap that is passed off as a movie. There are many that I do like, and that's because regardless of the fact that they're "romantic comedies", they're actually quality movies.
Most "romantic comedies" aren't worth the film they're captured on. The plot is severely lacking in most cases, the men are either flat/stupid or amazingly heroic, and the women are always enlightened but at least slightly vulnerable- in fact, the harder they come off at first, the more they fall to goo by the end (I'm looking at you, Miss Congeniality).
So no, i don't like them- because most all of them are just poor excuses for a movie.
(I'm also curious to know if this study was conducted with both the man and woman of the relationship in the same room. If so, that would seriously skew the results. Odd that it's not mentioned.)
