Top 5 Reasons Why Boys Should Also Watch 'Gilmore Girls'

"Gilmore Girls." Surely, when the show was announced to be released 16 years ago, the world instantly assumed that the show would cater to women viewers alone. Pretty much because of the title, I guess.

But as the show, honestly, target girl audiences, it does not make it weird for guys to like it too. It would not hurt for men to take a look at the first episodes, then they can decide if the series is worth sitting in for a binge-watch or they are worthy of getting thrown away or burned (if you have them in DVD) or deleted from the bookmarks of your wives or girlfriends.

I actually don't get it how it is okay for a woman to admit that she is hooked into watching many shows like "Sons of Anarchy" or "Prison Break" and it is not okay for a man to say that he watched a whole episode of a womanly show like..."Gilmore Girls."

So how would men love it?

Lessons that will convert you into a perfect gentleman.

While the show's synopsis would introduce the "Gilmore Girls" as a life story of a single mother and her daughter, the show does have other characters in it -boy characters are present there of course-and it has a lot of twists and turns, where a man would definitely relate too. Otherwise, it wouldn't run for 7 seasons if it doesn't tackle much more than just a girly drama.

It is nothing like the surreal "Gossip Girl," which is a female-targeted show full of absurd drama, something which I guess this is one of the top reasons why this series can appeal to men.

There's Luke who's always in his checkered sleeves and cap but cool diner man, there's Dean, Jess, Max, and more... and these characters embody the braver men who love to be around women, who don't get intimidated by smarter women, who don't get scared of stronger women. And if you are one who has same kind of women in your life but you don't know how to handle them, then maybe you need to get some on-screen tips from these men of "Gilmore Girls."

Lessons about parenting are bountiful.

The show talks about an almost real-life story. The story of Lorelai as a single mom and her struggles in raising a kid, when she just got pass being a kid, is really happening in our world today. Lorelai might seem to be the ideal mother that everyone wants - cool, on the go, energetic, hip (or hot), forgiving, caring, enduring, and whatever a millennial daughter or son could wish for, she has it. It has a lot to tell about parenting.

From her techniques to her parents' (Richard and Emily) ways, all of us can get parenting hacks and life lessons from them. And of course, men will be parents too, so this is a nice show to educate you about the kids of this new generation. I think Lorelai did a great job at being a mother and a father to Rory. She even had the sweetest thing to say about her mom during her graduation, and this is an awesome example of good parenting.

"My mother never gave me any idea that I couldn't do whatever I wanted to do or be whomever I wanted to be. She filled our house with love and fun and books and music, unflagging in her efforts to give me role models from Jane Austen to Eudora Welty to Patti Smith. As she guided me through these incredible 18 years, I don't know if she ever realized that the person I most wanted to be was her."

Your favorite part - Pretty women are everywhere.

We all have to admit, the Gilmore girls are very pleasant to the eyes. The bright faces of Lorelai and Rory can automatically brighten up a day plus there lovely faces can get male viewers jaw-dropping over them. Nothing much to say to explain this, they simply just inspire us. Who wouldn't love these grey-eyed and blue-eyed duo.

 The show is full of music.

Sherman-Palladino wrote a perfect piece of story, but whoever chose the sound tracks, he is a genius. The past seasons of "Gilmore Girls" were full of different music genre from pop, rock, R&B, soul, and punk-like, and a lot more. Men will surely love the OSTs of this show where it featured Sonic Youth, Franz Ferdinand, Belle and Sebastian, The Shins, Korn, and a lot more.

There are numerous hilarious scenes.

Humor is universal. As most men wouldn't want a heavy drama on their small screen, a hilarious spill will keep them invigorated and interested in going on with the show. Sookie and Michel are two characters in the show that never failed to drop a funny line in every episode where they were seen, but the Lorelai and Rory also had their shares in delivering a few laughs and giggles, and these seem to happen in times when they are trying to be serious.

And among all others, the show is cleverly placed together. From the characters, storyline, script, setting, music, the themes...the show does a good job in delivering a few cries and a few laughs. It is the good balance happening in the show plus the realistic story incorporated in it that should make the show lovable not just to women but also to men.

And now that the show is coming back with "Gilmore Girls: a Year in the Life," do you think men will watch it this time?
