Just look at the cover. No need to watch the movie, we already know what it’s about!
The placement of the hearts hints at the saying that...
Men give love to get sex and women give sex to get love.
In the classroom, we describe it like this. Sexually speaking, men are like microwaves and women are like crockpots. This analogy highlights that men get stimulated more easily than women because of their visual nature, while women take longer because they respond when they feel connected and romanced.
So while the movie may highlight some truth, the use of this truth to ‘rope’ a man by wearing low seductive tops and short skirts is not the answer.
In addition, the movie hints that men are only after ‘one thing’ and care nothing of the female’s interests or personality. This paints a rather animalistic view of males which I believe to be unfair.
The point of highlighting the microwave and crockpot truth is to teach teens how to dress modestly and to not arouse or manipulate their date. In addition, we stress the need for self-control for both parties and the importance of getting to know each other before getting physical.
And so, we find TheUglyTruth to rather be that Hollywood is NOT the source for romantic advice and certainly NOT the model for healthy and long-lasting relationships.
