A new study shows that fans of romantic comedies have unrealistic expectations of relationships and often have trouble communicating with their partners. Rom-com fans are more likely to believe that love is predestined, that if a person is meant to be with you they will know what you want without you telling them, and that sex with the right person will always be perfect. John Cusack, Meg Ryan, Hugh Grant, Sandra Bullock: you're all on notice.

I would like to know what kinds of unrealistic expectations David Lynch fans might have.

The worst study conducted ever: As part of the project, 100 student volunteers were asked to watch the 2001 romantic comedy Serendipity, while a further 100 watched a David Lynch drama. Students watching the romantic film were later found to be more likely to believe in fate and destiny.
