"describe their findings: that people consistently underestimate how much they will enjoy seeing a show, going to a museum, visiting a theater, or eating at a restaurant alone."

Very true. If you're halfway serious about art, you should not go to Museum with anyone, but by yourself. Museum viewing is intensely solo activity.

Theater though, you're held captive to the seat for 2 hours, so it's more about what you do before and after, that people have reservation about.
