Don't wait a lifetime to find your prince charming!
Every girl dreams of meeting her Prince Charming. After all, what's more romantic than a knight in shining armor sweeping you off your feet and whisking you away to your very own castle? But fairy tales have a fatal flaw: the princesses must always wait for their Prince Charmings to arrive. Take Sleeping Beauty, for example. She had to wait a hundred years just to get a kiss from her one true love. In real life, who has that kind of time?

The Game
You’re a prince. You can marry 1 out of 100 possible princesses, each of whom comes with her own dowry.
Each princess walks into your room, one at a time. She tells you how much money she has, and then leaves. (Hasn’t this ever happened to you before?)
The royal newlyweds go on a hot date to the hoity-toity tennis match.
Nothing signals elite royalty status more than an appearance at Wimbledon. Newlyweds Prince William and Kate Middleton sat cozily in the Royal Box as they cheered Britain's Andy Murray, who faced off against Richard Gasquet of France for a spot in the quarter-finals.
As the date of the Royal Wedding nears, the fairytale fantasy of a beautiful young woman marrying a prince comes closer to having a rare moment rooted in reality. Out of an entire planet of females, she has won what many would say is one of the most coveted lotteries in the world.
But marrying a prince doesn’t automatically guarantee you a happy ending. Ask Princess Diana.
How fairy tale myths prevent us from finding and keeping true love.
In fairy tales, sometimes the princess kisses a frog, or otherwise falls in love with a beast, and by doing so reveals his true nature as her prince. There are two facets to this particular myth. The first facet is that you can change someone, which is almost always untrue and sets the princess up for disappointment. You can’t change another person; you can only change yourself. This part of the fairy tale has made a lot of women kiss a lot of frogs and other beasts, hoping against hope that this time he’ll really turn into her prince.
The 'House' actress has separated from Tao Ruspoli after eight years of marriage.
Not every princess gets a fairy tale ending. It turns out Olivia Wilde's marriage wasn't built to last forever. The 'House' actress has split from her husband of eight years, Italian prince Tao Ruspoli. Wilde met the filmmaker in 2003 at the age of 18 and they eloped six months later.
The Swedish royal family is having a fairy tale wedding. Why does this make me nervous?
On June 19, Swedish Crown Princess Victoria will marry Daniel Westling, a commoner and personal trainer turned, literally, into a prince. This marriage is a fairy tale that everyone I know—my very egalitarian wife included—has embraced. So why am I so turned off?
Men doting on their partners, are they chivalrous or 'whipped'?
Inspired by a recent post on Hollywoodlife.com we've been thinking about the possible sea change that is occurring with celebrity couples and possibly with society as a whole. Whereas 2009 seemed full of bad boys (John Mayer, Peter Orszag, Jude Law, Tony Romo, Jon Gosselin, Nas, Mel Gibson and of course Chris Brown) perhaps we're seeing a return to good old-fashioned chivalry and goddess-worship.
Believing that one day you'll find your prince sets everyone up for disappointment.
If I read the phrase "You've got to kiss a lot of frogs before you find your prince" on this site one more motherspelunking time, I'm going to spontaneously barf. You don't really believe this, do you? Dudes don't have an equivalent to this creaky, cliché trope. It's not like you'll ever hear one guy comfort another guy by saying "You’ve got to kiss a lot of whores before you find your Madonna." Or vice versa.
Men don't want to date princesses.

The Devil Wears Prada star takes on wedding movies and a new dude.
Anne Hathaway has a whole new bag owww! She might have a new guy. Her old guy, Raffaello Follieri, is heading to the pokey. And she's trading in those tired fish out of water princess movies for movies about drama in and around weddings. That's progress.
