An Educated Man believes in Cinderella?


"An educated man" recently told me love does indeed exist.
I have been believing in love's existence but not as others do. To me, words and definitions are not the same or understood the same, so how can love be defined in Cinderella terms? However, he got me thinking. Could one male out of an entire population actually believe in romance? Are there more of him? Where did he come from? Does he understand that by believing in love (in Cinderella terms)and wanting it entirely, that he becomes like the Fountain of Youth to single women? In the sense that he (if discovered by others) becomes a rare breed of man and therefore would immediately become one of the most sought after males on this side of the planet. There are definitely not many men whom I know that would surrender to the thought of true love and yet he does, and willingly! He believes in love, he believes in "Happily Ever After," he even believes in the "I adore you!"
Can you believe it? They are not all androids.
So I have been explaining to my bruised heart that love is simply a business or an intense attraction but nothing lasts forever, then comes along this "Educated Man" and distracts my perception. Has he not gotten his heart broken? Have I been wrong?
The only thing left to do now is to keep him as my lab rat. I must study his theories in hopes of finding answers and yet all the while remembering that he is not for keeps because a man who loves in "Cinderella terms" is most likely already living in his own Happily Ever After.

I don't want to be your nemesis, but you should talk to guys that are not interested in you when figuring out what's up with men. Since I'm not interested in you, I'll take a whack at it...

I think women are their worst enemies, and make it way to easy for us to get laid and go about our business (thanks by the way!). Men are victims of their surrounding, just like women. Now while we are taught through our toys and video games while growing up to try to best ourselves and overcome obstacles, you gals are busy learning how to comb your hair and paint your faces to be pretty for us. (Men 1: Women 0). So it is no surprised when you gals feel cheated. I'd say it is unfair, but really, you promote this by the retarded shit you watch, say, read and do. You learn to aspire to be miserable and disappointed and to live to score a cock. The natural state of a woman is crazy paranoid, while men strive to be drunk and get laid. And this is accepted and passed down from mother to daughter AND son! (Men 2: Women 0). I mean sure, chick will bitch and whine that they are looking for Mr. Fagballs (does not exist), but invariably end up sucking the jock's cock. So, it teaches us that to really score, we have to be dicks... and hey, it is really easy to go through life being a selfish asshole if there are cum guzzling favors at the end of the road. (Men 3: Women are fucked).

Every man used to believe in true love and jumped to it early in our lives. Except that when we suffer our first heartbreak we react differently. While women are thinking what they did wrong or if she is not pretty enough, we start thinking what we want to be happy and simply meander away in that direction. Eventually we find a woman that might coincide there, those rare enlightened few that skipped the Barbie phase while growing up.

Take your Cinderella guy. He does believe in love, just not with you. No man will tell the girl that he is really interested in that he believes in love. It makes us look weak and desperate. I don't care how many carpets you've munched or how hairy your armpits are, women want decisive strong men. Take Mr. Big for example. Fuckface might have preached to be a liberated woman, but she is the most cliché ridden bag of woman bullshit ever ensambled. (Surprised I know this?) When a woman looks weak and desperate, we will be prince charming until the first ejaculation. Then we might have a lot of work, or family matters to resolve. (Unless you swallow, then we might come back for seconds or thirds... then bounce). BECAUSE WE KNOW YOU WILL MAKE US YOUR PET PROJECT AND COME BACK FOR MORE. Getting your attention is too easy.

Again, the illusion is propagated by you. Ever analyze our actions, looking for hints we are giving you to see if we like you? On planet Earth, NO MAN LEAVES FUCKING CLUES.

And don't get me wrong, I am in love and very happily married to an awesome woman. But I did not go into it "believing in love". Just like religion is bullshit because it is based in belief (belief: the psychological state in which an individual holds a proposition or premise to be true. NOTHING TO DO WITH REALITY), believing in love will automatically put you out of the game because love is not a connection with "the one" and a merry fag dance while the credits roll up. Love is fucking hard work, every day, for as long as you can make it last. It is hard, exhausting sometimes, and it includes sharing your space with someone that will eventually fart in it.

We know this and are not willing to commit until we are sure that the woman is worthy of said flatulence sharing. While you give that shit up after a couple of drinks and some light conversation about your cat or your hair.

So please, if you have daughters, skip the Barbies. It will save your children from a cum-fueled painful rite of passage into the cat lady.
