A Return To Sweetness and Decency


Today I got to thinking about princesses and prince charming... So many girls these days believe, just because they are female, they deserve a prince or a knight to come and, as Taylor Swift would say, "sweep me off my feet." But really, what makes you think that you even deserve a prince?
So many girls today are so concerned with going out, getting drunk and sleeping with some random guy from the bar then. I don't mean to judge, of course it's your life, so you live it however you want... But do you think The Little Mermaid went out to the clubs every weekend, dressed in this seasons hottest mini skirt and tube-top? Or what about Cinderella? Yes, she went to a party, but it wasn't her legs, chest and midriff that caught the princes attention.
And what about the real, modern princess Kate Middleton?

As a feminist, I can't fault any woman for wanting to do what they want, and I'm not saying, stop going out, having fun with your girlfriends and having a couple cocktails! But just don't expect to attract the kind, warm-hearted, handsome princes we all crave at those seedy dive-type bars downtown. 
And what about these poor men, who have to live up to the standards of these princes? Sometimes we forget that they have just as hard of a time picking through all the step-sisters to find their princess!

This is a two-way street here people! We, as women, can't expect to find a Mr. Darcy! And guys can't expect us all to be princesses! This whole thing has just gotten out of control! Where women believe the only place to find a guy is out at a party or a club. (I'm not saying you absolutely can't meet a great person at a party or a club! But it does seem really rare!)

As Audrey Hepburn said in Roman Holiday, "What this world needs, is a return to sweetness and decency!"

Wouldn't that be nice?
