“I’ve been dating since I was 15! I’m exhausted! Where is he?”

Yeah. That’s pretty much where I’m at right now. I mean, really, between meeting guys who beer bong in the wrong places and giving my number to rather questionable dudes…seriously! WHERE IS HE?!

I’ve got the “learn to be by yourself and love yourself” BS down pat… I’m ready for my prince charming g-dammit!

Then I had a revelation mid-fatburn program on the elliptical: Women have a come a long way and nowadays, we’re practically equal to men. So why should I just sit back and wait for prince charming to come up in his white horse…or BMW? I should get out there, strut my stuff, and find Prince-Effing-Charming myself!

Can I get an ‘Amen’?!

It’s time to get tough with men; no more games, fellas. I’m here for the real deal. I’ve got to be aggressive…be be aggressive!

Then I came back down to earth, and off the endorphins, and  I realized that might not be the best approach for me. I don’t do aggression to well. I need to have a serious sit-down with this guy – he seems to know more things about dating than I do.

I mean, if Heidi Montag can get hitched…then there has to be hope for the rest of us!

    About time someone realizes this. I mean really, what guy doesn't love a strong woman, who comes onto him?

    I agree. Every woman should and must be strong to face and overcome challenges in life. Any man will be proud to have her as his girlfriend or wife.

    My grandmother advised every female member of her family not to wait or look for, much less marry Prince Charming. She said Prince Charming is a bigamist. He married Cinderella, Snow White and Sleeping Beauty. All the female members of her family are happily married with children.

    I am actually one of the few ppeloe who had (and continue to have) a really healthy relationship with someone I met at Harvard. I think it’s because we both had really fun social circles outside of each other that allowed us to exist both together and apart, and in the beginning we had been pretty open about what we wanted out of a college relationship.My real gripe was with the behavior of many girls who I had considered friends. You see, a lot of these guys feel entitled to a hook up and to treat you like filth because if you say no, there are five desperate chicks in line who will do ANYTHING to win. That type-a hyper-competitiveness really backfires. I will never forget a night when I was sitting on my boyfriends lap at a party and this stumbling drunk blonde came over, pushed me off, and started making out with his ear because they had hooked up in the past. Luckily my guy and I had been dating for a few months at that point so he pushed her away, but I was appalled that our relationship meant absolutely nothing to this girl. There were no boundaries.I had problems with his ex-girlfriend, also from Harvard, as well. She would constantly text him about me and say she had seen me cheating or say I was talking about marriage; basically, anything that would make him freak out. Oh yeah, the naked pic she sent was a fun one too. And then we graduated and it all went away. Even though chicks can be desperate or slutty in the real world, they at least won’t try and deliberately wreck your relationship. It’s much less dog-eat-dog and more of a plenty of fish mentality. But I think the hook up culture at Harvard won’t really be ended until women start respecting each other instead of just assuming they’re all adversaries. Granted, the pool of attractive men is a lot smaller, but it shouldn’t be a race or competition with a man as a prize. A relationship should just be something fun and organic that ppeloe should honor and enjoy.

Tell us what you're thinking...
