Why I don't like "romantic comedies" (aka chick flicks)

Romantic comedies are too predictable. The plot(s) go(es) like this -
Screwed up chick meets hot guy - or - Screwed up guy meets hot chick
(For the purpose of brevity, I will stick with the screwed up chick meets hot guy scenario, but they are interchangeable.)
chick hates dude or dude hates chick
dude has another girlfriend who is evil or bitchy
dude somehow meets chick's dysfunctional family disguised as her boyfriend
Mom is a (closet) drunk and dad is a doofus
Someone in the cast is gay
dude and chick have tension and evil girlfriend gets in the way
chick falls in love with dude
dude rejects chick because of evil girlfriend
dude almost gets married, chick gets depressed because she thinks he actually went through with it
chick loses job/family member/gay friend/dog
dude comes to the rescue and they fall in love
dude buys her a car/business/new dog
life becomes wonderful
Pauly get sick and rents "Expendables 2"
Life is wonderful again
