Men?
“Once upon a time (as the story goes) there was a beautiful maiden, an absolute enchantress. She might be the daughter of a king or a common servant girl, but we know she is a princess at heart. She is young with a youth that seems eternal. Her flowing hair, her deep eyes, her luscious lips, her sculpted figure – she makes the rose blush for shame; the sun is pale compared to her light. Her heart is golden, her love as true as an arrow. But this lovely maiden is unattainable, the prisoner of an evil power who holds her captive in a dark tower. Only a champion may win her; only the most valiant, daring, and brave warrior has a chance of setting her free.” – Wild at Heart
I was watching “twilight” other night. That movie is really astounding; however I am not going to talk about the movie today. Instead I want to talk about the theme. We have a woman falling in love with a man who naturally loves her too. He has to fight tremendous odds and inevitably save her. They then can live together forever.
Why is it such an aspiring theme? Honestly I sit and watch movies like that or read books with similar themes and I feel amazing. I want to be that hero. Jump in there and save the damsel. I am that hero, it’s like it is hard coded into my blood, my heart, my spirit. Maybe it is. But what of the damsel? I am certain that most women when they were young wanted to be the princess. They wanted to be saved, to be swept off their feet by the hero. Is it hard coded into women too? Perhaps.
Give a little boy a stick and it’s a sword, give a little girl a dress and she is the princess. When young we are the hero or princess but as we grow older we stop believing this. Why? What happened to stop that young boy from wanting to fight and save the damsel. To suddenly drop his stick and leave the battle? What stopped the woman from being the princess? Is she not beautiful anymore? Is she not special enough?
My theory? Well I think that maybe the woman still wants to be that princess. She wants to be saved. She wants the hero to go fight the dragon, slay the sorcerer and climb the millions of stairs to fetch her at the top of the castle. She wants him to earn her heart. It’s the only way she can really fall in love with him. Only when he has shown that he is willing to risk his own life for her, to have her heart, can she know that this is her man, her hero.
So why don’t we have this happening today? Where have all the men gone? The warriors, the heroes? Are they dead? Did the Dragon get them? Hahaha, no I don’t think so. I think they are hiding. They are sitting in the barn drinking and partying and living blissfully among many women. They have chosen to settle for the easy, why should they risk their life for the perfect woman when the easy peasant women are surrounding him?
Ok, what am I going on about. Well I think the men of today are cowards. They don’t want to fight for the woman. They don’t want to put in the effort or risk being exposed or hurt. All they want is that pretty woman who will give them their lust’s desires and who will let them have it easy. But then what is the problem?
I think the problem with this is that the men become complacent and in the end the women on earth are getting damaged unfairly. You see I think that the women start to believe they are not the princess; they are not even the hand-maiden. They are just another woman. There is no prince coming for them. And they think this rightly so, you start treating something truly amazing like a common piece of dirt and soon that gem turns into a rock. Metaphorically speaking that is lol.
Just have a look around and see that I am right. See how few men actually open doors for women, how many men wait at a threshold for the women to walk through first. How many men give up their warm jacket in cold weather so that the woman by their side can be warm. Look at how many will tell their girlfriends or wives or female friends that they are beautiful instead of hot or sexy. Look at how many men talk about chicks and stare at woman and lust over them instead of calling that someone special a woman or a lady or even princess. It’s so sad.
We are breeding boys, not men. Lustful boys who only want booze and sex. Nothing more. And the poor women of the world just have to accept it.
So here is my plea to women. Please stop accepting it. If your guy wants you that bad then make him fight for you, make him work to get your heart!! You deserve nothing less. In fact you deserve so much more. And to the boys. Start being men!! Start treating the ladies in your life like princesses, like the best thing to happen to you and not just like the wrapping you ate your burger out of.
I am proud to say I am fighting, I am slaying the dragon and becoming the hero for my princess. She may not even know me yet but I am coming to get her and one day will find her in the castle. Yes, I am waiting for my wife and when I find who she is I will come and make her feel like the princess she really is. Because she deserves it and I won’t give her anything less!!
