Are Guys Really Like This?

Have you ever heard of the movie called About A Boy? Well, basically it is about a boy and a man with who he becomes friends with. The character I am going to be talking about is the man; his name is Will Lightman. I have provided a link at the end that is a trailer for the movie.
Will is very lazy, he does not have a job, and he makes up storied to make his life seem more interesting. He isn't very nice to women. He pretends he has a child so that women would be more likely to talk to him. These are his main characteristics I want to focus on.

He makes guys look like careless, horrible people. Also, it is portrayed that most of the time, if someone was to attempt to do what Will has been doing, they can get good results. This is not a good thing because men should know that making up stories to talk to women; there are other ways this can be done. Also, whenever you make up a story from the beginning of knowing someone, do you really believe that everything will work out in the end? I believe not.
The way men and women are portrayed in some movies and television shows is really unbelievable. The makers of these movies and television shows really exaggerate the stereotypes of men and women. Since this is seen almost every time the television is on or a movie is playing, it makes it seem like that's how life is for real. And then, some men and women start to act as how people do in the television world. This won't be a good thing!
