Woman on the verge...

Do not judge me by the color of my skin or by my size or by my misfortunes; but by the strength of my intellect and the gravity of my principles.

Why is it that in this day and age chivalry is dead? Although being chivalrous pertains to knighthood and everything that comes with it of the medieval times, isn't it safe to say that some qualities would be passed on to the present day?

Then why may I ask is it that these qualities are now vanishing?

I've heard stories from alot of women (family, friends, etc.) who've been searching for love;

that they haven't found their gallant knight, just because he lacks some of the qualities that we women swoon over for. Is it necessary for us women to settle merely on looks, physical attributes, intelligence, or attitude alone; when there could also be romance and all
that mushy stuff that we pretend not to like but have tingling sensations rising up our spines?When will men get it, that we women like the idea of love or being in-love? When will it occur to their thick head that we want to be romanced, swept off our feet, carried away in a white horse...yada-yada??
Can we also be held responsible for these disappearing attributes? Since women now are more
open minded, vocal and liberated. Do men really feel threatened if a woman surpasses him, financially, intellectually and emotionally? Perhaps they do but then again we women don't think of it that way...

~The reason us women slave away in cramp offices in an 8-5 job is for us to be independent that if something happens in a relationship, we'll be able to pick ourselves up from whatever hell we got ourselves into.

~The reason we study hard and become smart is so no man can put us down even if deep inside we have tonnes of insecurities...We cover this up by trying to sound intelligent.

~The reason we seem emotionally more adaptable is that when we're hurt we tend to put up barriers to prevent ourselves from making the same mistake and getting hurt again.

We wear high heeled shoes, and endure the pain; put on different make-ups, wear the prettiest dresses, spend countlessly on our hair, diet till we starve just to lose weight; all of that, just to make ourselves more attractive to you men...

We work so hard to try to be your perfect woman, then why in the world can't you guys try to be our perfect men?
