Apparently when your wife goes out of town and you spend the night hanging out with your buddy it’s called a “man date” (See Below). Tonight I went and hung out with my buddy Mike and we went to Red Robin for dinner and then we went to the new showcase Cinemas at a Patriot Place. Dinner at Red Robin was really good, as usual. I had the bacon cheeseburger with blue cheese and Mike had a bacon cheeseburger as well. We took advantage of the delicious bottomless steak fries. I introduced him to the tasty flavor of fry sauce.
We also checked out the showcase Cinemas at patriot Place. We saw the movie Transporter 3. It was an entertaining movie however there was plenty of suspension of disbelief. I suppose that’s what you go to the movies for anyway and so I really liked it. There are a couple of really hard to believe points as with any Transporter movie.
Some people have asked about what a Man Date is all about. Well, I did a little research and found a New York Times article about it. Here is the definition from that article.
Simply defined a man date is two heterosexual men socializing without the crutch of business or sports. It is two guys meeting for the kind of outing a straight man might reasonably arrange with a woman. Dining together across a table without the aid of a television is a man date; eating at a bar is not. Taking a walk in the park together is a man date; going for a jog is not. Attending the movie “Friday Night Lights” is a man date, but going to see the Jets play is definitely not.
And here is the rule of thumb on movies on a man date:
When attending a movie together – preferably with explosions or heavy special effects, never a romantic comedy – guys prefer to put a nice big seat between each other. (This only sounds like an episode of “Seinfeld.”)…
