Men & fairy tales.

You think fairy tales are only for girls? Here’s a hint – ask yourself who wrote them. I assure you, it wasn’t just the women. It’s the great male fantasy – all it takes is one dance to know that she’s the one. All it takes is the sound of her song from the tower, or a look at her sleeping face. And right away you know – this is the girl in your head, sleeping or dancing or singing in front of you. Yes, girls want their princes, but boys want their princesses just as much. And they don’t want a very long courtship. They want to know immediately.

                       - David Levithan and Rachel Cohn.

This is what HE said. Makes a lot of sense, but in real life, I still don’t get the whirlwind princess-prince romance. Getting married after a day? Pshaw.
