My eye fell upon this statement and I just thought…how TRUE!
We girls do that, don’t we? Fantasize about the perfect gentlemen and then when exactly does it hit us that … men are…okay fine, I wont say it!

male bashing and pcg??????????????
HO NAHI SAKHTA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
pcg, don't mind but you really need a guy in your life.
Am I the only female has been pretty realistic all along?
I never really fantasized about prince charming or a perfect man, because I know they have become extinct. So why bother wasting time thinking of a character that does not even exist.
actually what I found more funny was where this quote came from...
If you check out Jang's latest issue of You...you'll find a letter that a 20 year old married lady has written of her marital problems...and this is the response she got from the columnist.
I found it kinda inappropriate given what the girl is going through...but each to his own i guess.
:k: thank you sadiyah. Guys I believe are programmed to mess up. That’s what we do. We are programmed to forget our wife or girlfriends birthday, we are programmed to cheat on our wife, we are programmed to be insensitive sometimes. If only girls could realize that and loved us for what we are, and not judge us by the perceived notion of a “perfect man” implanted in their brain.
That letter is actually very sad and depressing. Then again, that's how life is like for many women (or at least for many desi women).
This is what scares me the most about marriage. Things change so drastically after marriage. The love and compassion seems to diminish. Problems start to kick-in and I feel men no longer give the love and attention their wives deserve like they do before marriage. shudders
I would've called women too dreamy for thinking that all will remain the same after marriage, as it was before marriage. However, that would be incorrect, as men definitely change and start to show some other side that was perhaps never visible before.
It would do us all heaps of good if men act the way they would after marriage (ie. not all nice and compassionate before marriage).
i find girls who dream bout there being a Prince Charming, a bit daft to be honest… are they fit enuff to be a Cinderella?? they cant cook.. they cant clean .. have a huge chip on their not so petite shoulders (another thing Cinderella had)… that shouts “yes, i have an attitude”… tsk tsk.. Prince Charming would never go for a girl like that…
hehe.. seriously tho… some girls really do need to learn how to differentiate between the dream world and the real world… it really isnt that hard… some more
Never dreamt the perfect guy though it's a nice idea hehehe I know some who do...
Sadiyah, don't be so pessimistic about marriage. I know people inc myself who'd say...men aren't always that bad hehe. They can be nice after marriage too my hubby is actually nicer now than he was before lol. So don't worry about all the love diminishing thing..that's just sheer bad luck if you get married to a dik. Just make sure you hook up with the chap and get to know him to some extent. I geuss the best advice is make sure you and him are similar in mindset, enjoy similar things and can both accept each other as you are. Hardest thing is having to give n take after. Sorry if im going off on one - this said you'll probs surprise me and say you're married lol
haha..all these desi girls looking for this "pefect" guy and "prince charming" should first take a look at themselves...these girls are far from perfect...nakhray dekho..
