Stories From Childhood: The Prince And The Princess

I was listening to an interesting conversation that a couple was having. The woman was asking her man why women were drawn to attractive men that were entertainers like singers, band members, etc. and talking about why they thought that they would have a chance at marrying them if they went to one of the entertainer’s shows or got near the person in some way. The man responded by saying that we get told when we are younger of the prince and the princess and how the prince saves the princess. In a hypothetical situation, they went on to talk and debate about a woman believing that if she showed that she was special in some way that the man would be instantly attracted to her. They also debated about why she’d think that she’d have a chance with someone extremely desirable that didn’t know her to begin with.
