All of those princesses wanted the guys of their dreams, and thats what they got. You want a guy with flaws. Thats the guy of your dreams. And these women are kind because they obviously want to set a great example for everybody. A lot of people are rude and demanding. But really, if you want people to like you, you want to show kindness to everybody. And plus, thats what Jesus Christ wants us to do.

Take Frollo. Ok, he's not hot (to everyone ;) and he's a jealous racist with issues. But on the other hand, he's a Catholic priest with a big black horse and he really truly wants the girl... despite himself. And unlike Phoebus he actually exhibits evidence of more than the mere presence of air between his ears. Or Gaston! Gaston and the beast are exactly the same to begin with - except Gaston only throws books into mud puddles to get Belle's attention, while the beast locks her daddy up (for trespassing; to get HER attention he locks HER up.) Hey, I don't like mud on my books either, but I would definately have gone for Gaston. OK so I am biased, I had a crush on Gaston as a kid, but it doesn't cahnge the facts. Belle and the beast is a seriouos Stockholm syndrome pairing. I always felt bad for the villains who were perfectly good men with a tragic flaw or two. Take Frollo.

Come on, people. Are you really that stupid to think it's sending a good message?!! Beauty and the Beast was an ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIP between Belle and the Beast.

Lord knows I tried to mimic Aladdin one too many times for my own benefit. http://www.digitalfuntown.com/showpage.php?showid=6 I guess if I were a girl I could see how Disney movies would present a pretty backwards sense of women’s values and purpose.

Belle was my favorite growing up since she was such a reader and she sacrificed so much for her father, but nowadays I feel as if I relate much more towards Jasmine. Her yearning for adventure and seeing the world...and when Aladdin was in disguise and she called him out for lying he totally blew it until the end.

Plus, she's a self made princess; she wasn't born into a life of luxury! :) I love Belle too; she is intelligent, and reads even when people find her odd for doing it so often!

Mostly though, it created unrealistic expectations for my hair. As long as I live, it will never look that amazing unless there's a wig involved.

Check out Neil Strauss's books. There's a whole community developing around teaching guys that the way to get quality girls interested in you isn't all just looks and money. It's being a real man with his act together, who takes care of himself and his loved ones. Don't worry about what the rest of society is doing. Being still into Disney Princesses when you're over 15 is like being a guy who plays video games all day. Lots of people do it but not the ones everybody admires and wants to be with. A real relationship will always be hard work sometimes, but yes of course you can find true love. Be the best person you can be and demand the same from those around you.
