Can Guys be Afraid of Horror Movies?

Thank you for asking me to join you in watching Insidious. But I'm sorry to tell you that I'm afraid of watching horror movies just like you. I can't sleep without my lights on after watching a horror movie. And the mere sound of the toilet flushing sends me into panic mode. Forgive me for not being "man" enough to watch the movie with you. But I think we all should look beyond horror movies as a standard for being manly. Forgive me also for sounding like I'm giving excuses.
