I am sure everyone is familiar with the quintessential 'prince charming' who comes in many different packages but is essentially always made of the same stuff. He's nice, he's charming(of course), he's terribly handsome and never fails to fall for the 'princess'. But what they don't tell you is that he probably is a narcissist, handsome in a pretty boy way really and in the real world will probably marry a really bitchy rich female and who suits his consequence more than poor old Cindy.

Then there is the 'tall, dark and handsome' variety who's the brooding sort and holds the female gender in contempt except of course when he meets his 'one true love' and 'reforms his life'. Fiddle!! and Poppycock too!

THEN they feed us with ANOTHER pack of nonsense about a nerdy best-friend guy who apparently has been in love with his girl-best friend since ever he can remember and she doesn't realise it, if you please! She, naturally, lusts after the 'hottest but meanest guy in school' (another stereotype) and only after a lot of drama does she realise that her best-friend is actually kinda hot and she's been in love with him her whole life and not known until now! *rolls eyes* Let me tell you something, if a guy likes a girl, more often than not she can definitely tell and especially if he's supposed to be her best friend so that's rubbish and what's more, being in love your whole life and not knowing is rubbish too ! I mean, how weird is that?? How out of touch with yourself do you have to be to not realise? And the nerdy guy's feet probably stink too :P :D Come on!! He can't be that perfect!

So you see, we've been subsisting on made-up idealistic notions and in the real world it is not at all like that. Boys are no prince charmings. The tall, brooding chaps are probably actually dangerous or... er.. just touched in the head. Lets face it. Boys don't brood. :D I'm not saying girls are perfect, far from it. But I am saying that it's not our fault on account of having grown up on books and movies which turn us into silly, sentimental fools.

I wonder if there is anything such as a perfect relationship. I was watching that pathetic show 'emotional atyachar' out of sheer boredom and the host guy said that 30% of females and 50% of males admit to being more interested in their boy/girlfriend's best friend rather than in their boy/girlfriend :| and he very cheerfully added "So you see, your love may actually be eyeing your best friend". Eeep! The statistics, if true, are rather alarming don't you think?? Almost enough to drive me into becoming a nun!

So does 'true love' and crap really exist?? Or is it just something the mysterious 'they' made up so that people will get married and the human race won't die out? :P

Speaking from observation rather than experience, maybe we should learn not to expect too much from guys, acknowledge our superior sense and pardon them for their lack of it :P . And they should learn to think a little of things other than themselves and not run away from emo-stuff. Don't you think they would get along much better then??

Damn, I should write a book!

:D:D
