“What if Prince Charming had never showed up? Would Snow White have slept in that glass coffin forever? Or would she have eventually woken up, spit out that apple, gotten a job, a health-care package, and a baby from her local neighborhood sperm bank? I can't help but wonder if inside every successful driven woman is just a princess waiting to be saved?” -Carrie Bradshaw "Sex in the City"
Fairytales frustrate me. Why do the women wait around for the men to show up and save them? We grow up on fairytales, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Cinderella... Are fairytales and chick flick movies distorting our idea of romance and finding the perfect mate? We hold out for Prince Charming but in reality, no men are that charming. There are flaws that movies never spotlight on and not all relationships end perfectly with a kiss and singing squirrels prancing about. And yet most girls still believe religiously in the fantasy that a guy will come charging on a white stallion and rescue them from the humdrum of their lives, showering them with princely gifts and serving their every whim. I mean of course, who wouldn't want that?
Are modern women realistic about men and relationships?
