I go to movies alone. Why is there a stigma ?

I go to movies alone Once a week. Why is there such a stigma attached to it? I have friends. I have children. I could have someone come anytime I wanted. But I don't need to or want them to come. I go to a movie to watch a movie. Not to talk. Not to socialise...just to watch. It doesnt enhance my experience having someone there. I want to focus on the movie....not someone else. I'm 40, I'm not a sociophobe and I cant think of one reason i need to have someone sitting next to me. I've had friends who have missed out on movies because they had noone to go with. That's just freaking stupid. Seriously. Stupid via /r/movies http://bit.ly/2BNfTCT
