Cinderella sends a bad message to the modern man...

I've come to a revelation, why modern dating has gone so wrong,

Remember Cinderella? She worked hard, was unappreciated, was humble and absolutely stunning in her ball gown and glass slippers? So because of her good looks and great character, where she wasn't expecting to really ever get a chance to meet the prince in a pumpkin carriage pulled by mice with some serious idenitity complexes...well whatever it was - they ride off into the sunset and live happily ever after.

Even though we predominately tell this story to our little girls to inspire within them hope that their Prince Charming will one day come, those little boys hear it too and think "oh wow, I'll meet a lovely little girl who will be beautiful, hard working, modest and generous in her heart one day" - and then he goes back to playing with his trucks.

And then the day comes when the little boy grows up and starts dating - and he finds the ugly step sisters are primmed and preened and parading around waiting for their princes or in today's world, the doctors and lawyers (not bankers apparently because they've already lost their money). And these boys have some fun with them, sleep around - all the while waiting for that breathtaking, beautiful, humble and sensible (maybe a bit lovingly forgetful) Cinderella to waltz through their lives.

And we wonder why the billionaires all end up marrying the maids?
