Beware Fairy Tails 313

posted Sat, 08/23/08

It may sound rediculous, but fairy tales matter especially for women. Our first conception of relationships, love, marriage, and life happily ever after are powerfully influenced by fictional classic stories we read and in films we see. While we don't expect anyone to track us down to try magic slippers on our feet, we do expect a certain amount of enchantment to acompany love and life.

See the magic of everyday life, of sharing and caring about someone, but don't riddle yourself with expectations of a fairy tale in the search for love and the rest of life is just supposed to figure itself out.

This is true. The fantasy of a little girl wanting to be the princess is deep in the woman psyche. I have talked to women of many cultures and this is a common theme with women. The problem is that most women hang on to this fairy tail long after their princess days are over. That type become a bitter old queen of nothing. The type of man that will make the woman a princess is the same type most women are not attracted to. It's a catch 22 situation some women don't want to admit. They would rather blame men for it.

Being a woman, I hate to admit that you are so correct. Most women do live in that "fairy-tale" mind set. Where they (and even myself at times) get these ideas from are books and movies. In the novel the woman always finds the perfect man, he proposes to her, they have this beautiful wedding, and move into the perfect home. The same goes for movies. The man spots the woman across the room or on the train, they hold a small conversation and then throughout the movie they continually bump into each other until they finally become a couple. I think most women are constantly bombarded with these images until they reach the point where they hope that it will happen to them. If I received a penny for each time a friend started a new class or went to a party and was so positive that they would find a nice, intelligent, and good looking man I would be rich. I don't see anything wrong with wishing that that could happen, but at the same time women who totally ignore the good ones, because they are focused on what they think is the one are missing out big time. Prince Charming isn't always the dark, tall, and handsome one.

fary tales merely portraye the psychy of women.
