Watch the classic film Grease and you will understand how relationships work in Western society. The film tells the story of a boy (Danny) and a girl (Sandy) who fall in love. Due to a series of misunderstandings the two break up, but somehow continue to care for each other. Through ballads like Summer Night, which are still popular today, the film shows how males and females view relationships differently. Films like Grease are like a mirror, reflecting society's values ​​and how it socializes its members. It makes it clear that in relationships, males are socialized to see relationships primarily as a physical and sexual endeavor, while females see it as a perpetual bond, a deeper connection between the two individuals within a relationship. The couple says they are "in love", they see their love the same way - that they have "successfully defined their relationship". But it turns out that love is in the eye of the beholder. Researchers on heterosexual love have found that love changes definition based on the sex of the party. According to surveys, males were more likely to score higher on romance scales and to recognize their romantic feelings earlier than females (Kanin et al. p. 64). Since males tend to recognize romantic feelings first, in order for males to be defined as “more romantic,” the definition must be based on how quickly they recognize romantic feelings (Kanin et al. page 71). Females are much more cautious and judicious when attributing their reactions to love (Kanin 70). This may be due to the evolutionary history of our species. Males have lower parental investment than females. Animals strive to reproduce their species and the cons... middle of paper... at the end of Grease Sandy, Danny and Sandy get back together seemingly mending misunderstandings about their relationship. They all do that with a ballad that is still one of the standards in today's culture You're the One that I Want. But despite the reconciliation, there is still a misunderstanding between the two. Sandy dresses much sexier to make Danny tell him throughout the song that he "needs to get in shape", because he has to be true to his heart. Ultimately, Danny is attracted to her primarily for her physical qualities, and Sandy, obviously, sees in him the potential to satisfy her needs and desires. They are still in love, but despite the concept of “true love” they see it completely differently. Males still see relationships as mostly physical and sexual and female ones, as a means to satisfy his needs and those of his possible offspring..
