Who moved my frog? So much for our happy ending.

 

Even in our age of equality some women are still waiting for their handsome prince.  It has been said time and time again that a good man is hard to find.  I have heard countless stories from women about guys who used them and treated them shabbily.  That sounds really bad for men; however, all of these stories start out with a woman completely smitten with a guy because, he was incredibly good looking. ( I would also like to point out that I also know a lot of stand up guys who could not be more devoted to their mates.)   Physical beauty is obvious so, do not be so naive as to think that the person you are so smitten with doesn’t know that people often feel that way about him or her.   It isn’t that really attractive people are bad; it just isn’t healthy when the attraction is not close to equal.   Even after that explanation for failed attempts at love the question still remains: where are the princes?   Maybe we are just as lost as the princesses.  Maybe we are more lost since we have no one to guide us.  Women have countless books, magazines and Dr. Phil to guide them toward happily ever after.  Guys on the other hand have nothing.   No magazines with advice a half way intelligent person would ever take seriously, no books and Dr. Phil could not care less about those of us in the testosterone set.   In our growing age of equality among the sexes why can’t the princess save the prince or the knight?  If the knight has to share his armor it doesn’t seem fair to send him off alone to slay the dragon.   I know many women may feel like they have been kissing frogs for a long time, but what if the prince wasn’t handsome?  What if he looked like a frog but, had all of the inner qualities of a prince?  Would you recognize him?  The reality is that beauty and life is we know it is quickly coming to an end.  In less than a century most of us who are now in our twenties or older will be dead.  So my advice to those looking for a future mate would be to close your eyes and ask the question what kind of person do I want to share my time on earth with?
