discodown Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Theres a woman at work who's single and refuses to date anyone because shes waiting for "the one". This is apparently a person that she'll see and "know" that shes destined to be with for the rest of her life. this person will be hopelessly romantic, will treat her like a princess and they'll be happy forever. I've been told i'm a misery for pointing out shes going to have a very lonely old age and a dull life waiting for this mythical person. I've told her that she has to kiss a lot of frogs to find a prince and even then you're not guaranteed anything. In fact realistically once the initial heat of the relationship fades the best you can hope for is that you at least stay friends and have some cool stuff to talk about and you don't start to loathe each other. When I asked where this prince wuld emerge from she said that he's out there and hadn't I seen Sleepless In Seattle? I said yes, I've also seen Roadhouse but that doean't mean every problem in the world can be solved by kicking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meem Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 completely, I don't watch chick flicks and I am much more realistic about what men are capable of. A lot of my female friends always want unobtainably good looking guys and seem to think sex will be some beautiful gentle clean love making.

chem1st Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 A modern day Cinderella looking for a Prince Charming with the aid of her Fairy Godmother need only use a bit of common sense. Modern day Cinderella would do all the pots, washing, ironing, cooking, cleaning etc. and ask her Godmother/Gran for advice on 'getting' Prince Charming, and she'd say go to 'the ball' (nightclub/pub of same name), don't dress like a tart, get sloshed and sleep with any man drunk enough, just behave a bit like a lady and tha might just find him. A lot of young women today struggle with microwave meals, dress like tarts, can't clean up after themselves, let alone a prospective man, drink like fish and sleep around. And I think therein lies the problem. Unless they behave like Cinderella, they won't find Prince Charming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suffragette1 Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 This isn't a modern day phenomenon but dates back to the romantic novel and Jane Austen. It's all about fantasy in the same way that porn fulfils that need in some men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've kissed plenty of frogs and they never turn into a prince, they just stay as frogs ... It's the default for males! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
