Ok.. I 've seen this too many times to think it's just a fluke!

Why do guys (especially teenage guys) sit a seat apart when they go to the movies together??

First they will debate where to sit and then one will go into the row, sit down and his friend will sit in the same row MAKING SURE there is an empty seat between them.

Now.. this is definately a GUY thing as I've NEVER seen girls/women sit this way when they go to the movies together.

Is it a "personal space" thing? A "manly man" doesn't sit next to another guy thing?

I'd Just like to understand..
