Is the Fairytale too much?

So I was watching Pretty Woman tonight and they obviously were talking about fairytales. Richard Gere's character could not give Julia Robert's character her fairytale. So my question is, "Why is the fairytale too much?" Now, I am aware that each woman's fairytale will differ, but they all contain just about the same thing; a need to be accepted for who they are, wanting to be loved, respected and charished and finally wanting to be taken care of. Now, I will concede that there are some women who take those basic elements to a whole other level and thus make it difficult for women who are not asking for extremes. But let's just talk about real women and break this down.

1.) to be accepted for who they are- Most women I know including myself just want to be accepted for who they are, flaws and perfections in one. I mean not every woman will be a prostitute on Hollywood Blvd. I don't actually know any prostitutes from Hollywood Blvd. Maybe I don't get out that much in any case, I don't see how this request is asking too much.

2.) wanting to be loved, respected and cherished- Honestly this should go without saying, but I have found in my experiences and those of my friends that this is the hardest thing for guys to accpect and do. Not all and I don't want to turn this into a male bashing thing, I am just pointing out some things from my experiences and those of my friends. Love and respect are key in any positive and functioning relationship and being cherished and seen as something rare and special makes me personally want to give and do even more in my relationships because I know that it is appreciated.

3.) to be taken care of- now I understand that in this materialistic society this will automatically be read as, "Oh she is a golddigger." But if you really look at that statement then you know that there is a lot more to it. Being taken care does not always and for some women does not even mean financially. Most women can provide for themselves financially and to the point where they are comfortable. So let's look deeper. Taken care of means emotionally, will you listen to me when I am going through the gammet of my emotions or are you just saying that I am complaining.? Will you make sure that my physical needs are met in that I am fed, I have exercised, I have had my daily 8 glasses of water? Will you take care of me spritually and make sure that I continue to stay true to GOD? And the last one should have been the first in my opinion because a relationship with GOD should be number one in any relationship.

I don't know maybe I am asking too much in the world of Money being the key to life, but I am with the character Vivian, I don't want it if I can't have the fairytale.

So now that I am apart of the blogging community does this make me all growed up? I hope not, because I am really loving the Peter Pan Syndrome. I have a feeling I am getting ready to love having this thing as my job stinks and I am getting ready to go back to school. I have nothing profound to say yet, but you can all blame Yahya for me actually having one of these things. Well better go before I get fired. LOL :-)
