The hardships of the princess generation

“You deserve it”, “Let the whole world wait”, “Everyone is delighted with you” - copywriters of famous world brands have always been good at flirting with the audience.

Along with advertising, which entered the annals of marketing history, loyal to everything new, the end of the nineties was also marked by the introduction into the minds of progressive parents of the American parenting system, which was based on praise. And if in relation to boys, the usual image of a “real man” did not allow bringing the method to the point of absurdity (as then without men, and if there is a war?), Then the girls “got it” in full. All of them suddenly became exceptionally clever and beautiful.

In a word, princesses.

In the 2000s, a catastrophe occurred: the television project "Dom-2" was released. For many years now, he has been promoting lying on the couch and building relationships, which consists of endless mutual claims.

In the relaxed tenths, a "new sincerity" came. Wise simplicity. Instead of luxurious premieres - the Praktika Theater. Leopard coat taken to church. The wardrobe was filled with gray sackcloth from Russian designers. Which Maldives? We are in Iceland. The lean body, dried out by a carbohydrate-free diet, has been replaced by body positivity. Which, by the way, never caught on, but allowed women to love themselves even more … And all this against the background of Labkovsky's articles about his own exclusivity.

The result is a whole generation of amazing women. Women who believe that they deserve the best, not for some kind of merit, but just like that (and, probably, there is nothing wrong with that). Who are convinced that the kindest and most generous men are raised especially for them. They practice yoga in hammocks, nourish their bodies with sea water several times a year, and regularly go to Kivach for "cleansing". They eat exclusively healthy food, because stuffing the divine body with fast food is an undoubted crime. They take dozens of selfies every day and spend hours processing the resulting pictures in editors - for greater perfection. They are endlessly photographed by the fashionable masters of the genre, so as not to forget in old age how beautiful they were. They attend trainings of all kinds of growth, a personal psychologist, take care of the joy of the soul. The best and highest paying job in the world is almost in your pocket. And not in the shameful accounting department, but on the island. Directly the director. Some beauty salon. Or yoga studios.

However, in reality, it turns out only to open a store on Instagram and sell dresses there with aliexpress … And, in general, everything would be good for these women, if not for one "but". They are hopelessly alone. Because when you are the best, it is difficult to be interested in someone other than yourself.

One day a former colleague came to see me. Thirty-five year old princess. For three hours she talked about how difficult it is today to find a man who would appreciate all her dignity. "Reached out" to her. And most importantly - I would free you from the need to work and, at the same time, attention - I would not strain! After the first date, all potential suitors for some reason disappeared. What is curious: during the three hours of our "conversation", a colleague never once asked how I was doing. At the end of the visit, I asked: "On dates, do you also talk only about yourself for three hours?"

And I also understand why a really interesting mature woman, who has taken place in the profession, earns well, has traveled the whole world, built a house and all that, it's a shame that the man went (more precisely, remained from the unassembled), in her opinion, small, greedy, meager. And if he comes across a decent one, he chooses twenty-year-old fools. By the way, I asked one of my friends why he married a girl who was simple and young, having in the arsenal of fans, albeit the same age, but objectively more beautiful, interesting, financially independent young ladies.

Agree, it's a shame. Well, when spirituality suddenly turns out to be "cockroaches".

So, in the "princess" there is not even Bunin lightness - she dies in claims to the world and counting calories … Or love for her fat ass (she is constantly on the lookout, what if someone decides to offend this ass?). But most importantly, the princess does not know how to give. Take care of someone else besides yourself.

However, what is there to give - not a rug for the "bar". Children, in her opinion, are continuous hemorrhoids, multiplied by a figure disfigured by pregnancy and childbirth. The princess either rolls the word "childfree" deliciously in her mouth. Or, on the contrary, she is convinced that the best offspring in the world is born from her, and a man must try very hard and satisfy all her royal desires, since he wants her to become pregnant. A "worthy" woman is used to being interested only in her weight and inner world, which seems so interesting to her that social networks are teeming with kilometer-long posts on the topic. But the relationship that our heroine still cannot build is about two. About a sincere and genuine interest in the life of another person. About sausages with cabbage for dinner when she was thinking about a movie.

And also there is no kindness in the princess. It’s not about “being correct” and caring for lonely grandmothers, but about ordinary human kindness. Which takes and puts the interests of another person above their own. Forgives imperfections and mistakes. Empathizes and empathizes. Gives the last, if so necessary. In a word, it saves the world.

Kind womanfor many, alas, it is associated with a "blissful" woman. A fool who does everything for everyone, and no gratitude to her, bastard. "Live for yourself," her friends convince, "let others worry about themselves." And she, meanwhile, is very happy. Its resource is endless, because it is constantly being filled from the outside, - nature does not tolerate emptiness.

Kind womandoes not talk about his affairs until asked. But he is always interested in others and helps, if possible. On her Facebook - husbands, children, parents, friends, and almost none of her. She does not donate money to foundations and does not shout about it to the entire Internet, because she is convinced that the main thing that a person should do is to take care of her loved ones and herself. And give only one tenth to the poor …

Kind womanwill never be alone. Not because there is always someone ready to take advantage of its rare quality. And because it is impossible to pass by it and not stay. Warm.

And there is nothing more terrible for a man than to connect his fate with an evil princess. And those who bind, by the age of 45, become a patient of the cardiology department, I am completely serious.
