Fortunatly i've been set what i see to be an excellent example of a successfull relationship by my parents. <br />However, i think we love going back to watching disney films because it takes us back to our childhood and brings back that feeling of life being much more simple and care free. But i think the people use disney and relate it to real life, haven't been set a good example of a functioning relationship, and have nothing else to go by.<br />And as for the whole "get hot and you can be successful at life" thingy, its wrong, but at times the world works in that superficial way that if you're nice to look at you're more likely to get what you want. I have been told, in many not very nice ways, that this is the only way i will succeed in life. My mum even aggrees hat the fact that i'm not a beast will get me things in i want in life. I'm not sure thats something anyone should really tell their daughter, but unfortunately i've found fluttering my eyelashes at someone does work. <br />Lastly, (sorry for the hench post) i don't feel my expectations in men are that high, i dont have a set definition of what is perfect, but the way they treat me matters more, but my psychological knowledge tells me most of the problems with high expectations in a partner stems from life experiences and the examples they have been set.Suzienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3607102015743494785.post-33357883244160859722010-03-03T16:47:54.371+00:002010-03-03T16:47:54.371+00:00I make no secret of the fact that I love chick fli...I make no secret of the fact that I love chick flicks, but I really really hate the inane ones where everyone is perfect and it all ends happily ever after. Even if the film ends happily ever after, there are always going to be problems that present themselves further down the storyline, and whenever I finish watching one of those, I'm always wondering to myself if those perfect, polished characters are going to have the integrity to be able to do battle with life and still be as 'perfect' as they are portrayed.<br /><br />Take 'The Notebook', considered one of 00's best chick flicks. The main couple are forever bickering, they have things they disagree over, but what the film really shows is that despite all these so-called imperfections, they work well as a couple.<br /><br />As to the whole perfect image thing, it's a load of bullshit. Hollywood are gradually bringing in people who aren't stereotypically good-looking but it's too slow a process. Looks are a massive part of being attracted to someone, yes, but not everyone likes that clean-cut, cookie cutter, chiseled jaw type look.<br /><br />(500) Days of Summer is my new favourite chick flick, if it can even be called that, because it's the first film of its kind that I've seen that shows an accurate portrayal of how one-sided love can be, and that it's no disaster, it's just part of life's journey to have these screw-ups and to move on.Ellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00607654339165665081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3607102015743494785.post-7722335919191167192010-03-03T16:33:27.991+00:002010-03-03T16:33:27.991+00:00I too have a "chunk" and in my eyes he i...I too have a "chunk" and in my eyes he is my prince charming. I do not buy into all the Disney fairy tail endings. No one can live up to the movie version of life/relationships not even our so called "celebs". Life is hard and so are relationships. But, if you have someone that loves you for who you are and is not trying to change you and vice versa, then maybe you can enjoy the journey that is life together.Auntie Beckynoreply@blogger.com
