Romance Novels…the Effects On Girls Who Read Them By Scotfree by Nobody: 4:59am On Sep 14, 2016 |
[img][/img]Love as portrayed in romantic novels and movies are actually more funny than they are true. How many times in real life do lovers run in slow motion to meet each other under the rain, kiss and maybe play in the puddle? Love as depicted in movies and novels are fictional; the romance created for entertainment. Not many of our teens and women know that. If she found her Knight in shining armour in the most romantic and appealing way, on a bus, at school, at the market, doesn’t mean you would find yours under the same circumstance. Well you might if you go looking for it…you just might find yourself a loser in Aluminium foil. The movies they watch and the books they read paint for their minds a picture of this one true love, this one special person they are going to meet when they least expect, this person they can’t help but fall heads over heels in love with, marry and live happily ever after. The Movies and books paint them a picture of perfection and bliss. A perfection they are all entitled to, and must look out for. Beautiful! But the problem with such modern cultural programming is that they will wake up one day to realise they have become totally possessed by a certain way of seeing and doing things…ways they as individuals never chose for themselves. They read these novels and watch these movies, they breathe them in; these things they are shown that soon become part of them, one with the cells of their bodies. The movies and novels dictate to them – you must fall in love and your relationships must be like the ones in the movies and books… nothing more, nothing less. The novels demand such perfection from them. So that they too in turn know what perfection to ‘demand’ from their partners. Demand here being a self centered expectation that their needs will always be satisfied, and their happiness will always come from their partners. When these demands aren’t met, trouble sets in for she is totally dependent on him for her happiness, fulfilment, satisfaction, pride, confidence and more. The failure on prince charmings part to provide all these needs for her always leads to frustration and the want for more. Soon the relationship is deemed ‘imperfect’ (imperfect as compared to those in the movies and novels). Break up follows and other emotional problems with it. Some never commit to another relationship. They must wait till everything is right, of course, like they are in the books. That may never come. Not until they accept that relationships aren’t beds of roses. Not until they consider and rethink the following falsehoods presented by the movies and novels. Impressions from romance novels and movies Funny ones first 1. Wooing: Girls love to be wooed. The even love it more and tend to imagine more colourful pictures of how it should be done after they have watched or read their first romance novels and movies. They imagine some heaven perfect scenario where this young, tall, (dark) handsome dude, perfect in everyway, falls on his knees, drooling and begging for their love. The person most likely to chase you that way is the begger at the end of your street, and most likely because you look like you’ve got some Naira notes to spare; not the man of your dreams (unless they are one and the same person). 2. Looks: We all love the good looking ones. The Tall, rugged and handsome guy. The curvy girl in tight fitting clothes. The images straight from fashion and modelling magazines. The truth is not everyone is equally good looking and good looks don’t guarantee that you will be loved as they do in the movies and novels.... To read the complete post visit scotfreesite. 1 Share

A female friend once told me she had to stop reading novels (romance) and watching all those tv series based on love and romance because they gave her unrealistic expectations about love and sex. Anytime my folks are watching some channels, na to pack my stuffs and go to my room or go out.. 3 Likes |

Which girl does these things you just mentioned?, we all know Novels are fictional not realistic...How do we expect our partners to act as Novel male characters do?. I read lots of Daniella Steel's Novels and the only thing i didn't like about them even though she's a good writer was the e*otic scenes one had to picture while reading. |

LordZero:and those girls who watch Korean film. That's how one girl was arguing with me that a relationship has to have sad parts to be a real relationship cos all the korean films she's watched have clouded her minds. I was still pursuing her, I heard that one like this, I?m still running away from her till tomorrow. How will you go about thinking that love should be sad. Shuu 1 Like |
