Oh I hate the cheesy romantic movies. They give women such a false sense of what the perfect man/relationshiop should be, in my opinion. Women are forever disappointed because their boyfriend isn't like one of those fall to the floor and pour his heart out type guys in such bullturd movies like He's Just Not That Into You.
I know people who actually take those movies to heart! They're like "I want someone like so-and-so from that one movie". I'm like, ummmm, he doesn't exist! Its a romantic comedy, get over it!
Just like men with their unrealistic expectations on what a woman should look like, I think women have the same unrealistic standards. A lot of us want a Disney story. In both cases, it makes for a lot of frustration.

Great point. For a lot of women I think they should add one of those warnings (like contains violence):
Warning: this movie contains unrealistic romantic content

self love is tricky. no mirror that is the bad part, leads to selfishness, selfwill self love self justification, the 3 great adamants of error.
we need to be impersonal with our love, the rain falls on the good and the bad.
many love others and exclude themselves. treat others good and themselves bad. this is unjust. this is also classic textbook codependence.
I have the opposite issue. My hubby is waaaaay more romantic than me. Sometimes I feel guilty. No fault of my own, but I am not a mushy, touchy feely gal. I don't like cut flowers, give me a plant that won't die. Don't get me chocolates, how about some fruit? I never turn down a foot rub, but I honestly never think to give one unless asked for. (maybe cause I don't like to be touched that much myself?)
I really dont understand ladies that want the whole big wedding thing. Thousands of $$ on a dress? That you wear for one day?? Thousands for a party? Really? I was married by a JP in my in laws living room with my and his immediate family only. I wanted to 'be married', not 'get married'.Oh, and we've been married for 18 years now. Wonder how much that plays a role.
I hate spending so much money on freakin greeting cards and such. Maybe deep deep down, I'm the guy and he's the gal! LOL I am an optimist, but also a realist. Hearts and flowers are nice, but in a real relationship, it fluctuates. Sometimes I get the 'how can I miss you if you won't go away?" feeling. I can tell he does at times too, but there is also the deep comfort of curling up in the winter and having the bone deep contentment that only comes when you realize your love is also your best friend. I don't think the media really gets that part of it.
There needs to be stickers on Jane Austen novels, as well. Oh, Captain Wentworth, why aren't you real?
And I'd still read them over and over.
