Modern Cinderella

While I was shoe shopping the other day, I noticed there are lots of women who share same shoe sizes. It kept me wondering how the prince in "Cinderella" managed to find the right princess to fit into the shoe. In modern day, the only possibility that this shoe can fit the "princess" is when she has unusual feet (which is swollen or big), which means she could be an ogre. If the prince found out that his princess is obese and not so perfect, will he still want to marry her and live a happy ever after life? I doubt so.

Humans are so obsess with beauty and perfection. Even an average girl next door has problem finding the right companion. Furthermore, with the perception that women and men are equal, male chauvinism are growing. The act of gentleman has slowly disappeared. How many times that you noticed a man showed a lady her way out in a cramped train during peak hours? I'm pretty sure the answer will be "hardly". A simple gesture like this is so easy to perform yet undetectable. Things may be exceptional if the other party happened to be a young, beautiful lady. She will be treated in an extraordinaire manner. Then again, beauty is not skin deep. One day. when the princess grew older, fatter and uglier (both look and behaviour), will the prince still love her the same way? Pretty much, not.

There are always younger preys out there; both male and female. We used to think that money can't buy love. But in fact, money can buy lovers. Older women with money can buy young, handsome lovers and vice versa. Who needs real love? How do we measure true love? Passionate, undying or till death do us part kind of thing? Reality is this is cruel to some people in the modern world. Loyal to just 1 companion? Not impossible but hard.
