The Big Lie

The "Big Lie" that is presented to us in romantic novels and scripts is a misconception of how things actually play out regarding our intimate encounters with the opposite sex. Young women are almost brainwashed into believing in some clichè process of falling in love while young men are receiving a different message. What Manatu said about young boys learning about the opposite sex via porn and young girls via romance films was spot-on. Alot of women grow up dreaming of an ideal wedding for their future, and if not they've definitely gave it some thought. I have yet to encounter a male with a similar thought process. With that being said, once the two genders come together problems may occur, and viewpoints may collide all due to different expectations. Happily Ever After certainly doesn't reflect the rising divorce rates in today's society.
