Don’t a lot of women 40+ watch Hallmark though?

i feel like that's there* exclusive audience

*THEIR OMG I KNOW THE DIFFERENCE AND I AM MORTIFIED

Yup. Nobody watches Hallmark to see teens or college students, their entire thing is beautiful women aged 40+ (or at the very least 30, 35+) finding their true love after divorce or something.

This was my first thought. I personally don’t watch Hallmark (maybe I’ll start when I hit 40 😂), but I never hear about it unless it’s older women talking about it. And younger ones during the holiday season.

I'm 45 and have still yet to watch a Hallmark movie.

Same. I cannot sit through them. Even my mom can’t. My co-worker on the other hand mainlines them.

Same. My mom watches them when she needs something light and silly to watch.

I got high as shit and watched one called An Ice Wine Christmas - I will not be doing it again.

[bitchsdangerous]

I can’t stand them.

Huh? No. This exec knows and understands the Hallmark Channel’s core customer - 14-34 year old men. They are clamoring for stories of sad, lonely corporate women returning back to their hometowns for Christmas, only to meet a local windowed dad who works two jobs who loves his kids and never stops with gentle hands and the heart of a fighter and after a series of mishaps realizes the big city never made her happy. That’s what young men want, and they don’t need some 42 year old hag messing that up!

That’s why, the Hallmark Channel is so excited to announce that we’ve just signed the Hawk Tuah girl to a 7 picture deal!!!! We’ll be spittin all over Santa’s thang Christmas 2025!

[iznanassi]

"spittin on santa's thang" is a psychological attack

[pciam]
