Womens Reality - Proposals
Personally I'd adore seeing a man riding up my short driveway on a large black war stallion. The mans hair would be long and dark, flowing in the breeze of a servant carried fan to make sure his lovely tresses flowed behind him like the tentacles of a frightened octopus. The man would wear a kilt, preferably in Black Watch tartan, a white billowing shirt and kilt hose. Behind him would be a fleet of bagpipe players, tuning "You are my sunshine" whilst kittens slept happily in the horses mane like daisies in a field. The man would dismount and pull a Scottish fold kitten from his sporran, tied around its neck a white gold claddagh ring with emerald and ruby.
With grand flourish he would kneel upon the green spring grasses and offer up the kitten and ring while speaking German, asking for my hand in marriage as his garter flashes swish in the breeze. And for this occasion I would be clad in an embroidered green gown, flowing in the offset of my loves servant held fan. White daisies would adorn my waving red locks, complexion perfect, brows neatly plucked. I would be peaches and cream and song birds would flutter and bunnies would romp behind me as I would reply 'yes' to him in traditional old Gaelic.
In reality if ever proposed to, it would be in someones basement, on a pull out couch and a musty smell filling the nostrils. He would be in an old stained tshirt, with some odd ancestry such as Finnish-Mongolian. He'd sport a Minnesotan accent, no ring or kittens or war stallion but instead a drawing of his fursona and hopeful look. No ring, but a promise that when he gets out of his grandmothers basement he WILL go to the pawn shop and find me the best darn drug money ring EVER. And I will be clad in four year old tattered jeans, a frumpy but loved tshirt and my red hair slicked back in a double bun. No daisies, no makeup and most likely sporting a unibrow. It would be mid summer, I would be tomato red from the heat and would only answer yes so that I could lay down to stop the disappointed migraine that was forming.
Somethings wrong in Denmark and its not their ban on transfats.
It is nature for women to want a fairy tale proposal, wedding, life. Men want it as well, perhaps without the sparkling rainbows and glittery, skipping bunny rabbits.
With women the reality of proposals fall very short most times of the real thing, in reality you may have a bad cold, you may be just getting over the death of a beloved pet. You could perhaps even be covered in mud and have been sprayed by a random skunk while rabid raccoons burst from your pants. Or as simple as having curlers in your hair and you don't remember a thing he said while proposing because, darn it, you had curlers in your hair. You don't always get what you want, but you have those fantasies to comfort you, and disappoint you when things fall short of your expectations.
We want our knight in shining armor, our prince that will climb the tallest tower or fight the biggest dragons (which could be our father, brother, sister, best friend, who knows) for you. We want that 8 level ogre cleric to take a step away from that dungeon and bring out the biggest ring from the loot and offer it up with a grand flourish to you, as his party watches. We want anatomically correct, emotion chipped Data to take us to the holodeck for a wonderful sight of the dry lands of Vulcan, while discussing the better output of the warpcore. He would propose, adding unneeded, silly and badly done jokes and poetry. Later there would be an on-ship Betazoid-styled wedding, Spot being the bridesmaid.
(And perhaps there would be the ability for a polygamic marriage to add Picard and perhaps Worf as well... It is dreaming after all.)
Deep down despite how adult we are, there is a bit of little girl that dreams of these things, no matter how busy our lives are or how much of a realist we seem to be. There it is, somewhere in the back of our heads, and sometimes old Disney inspired. This need to be treated and loved the best of any woman in past or present. So dream on girls, dream on. Don't let the harsh reality of a musty smelling basement and promises of a ring after your boys probation is over stop you. Coat it with sugarplums and dancing ferrets, pretend the blinking light of his house arrest anklet is that of some love star, dedicated to you and twinkling in the sky. That really, this crack smoking Greek named Uresto with the tattoos of prison gangs across his chest, is actually Ben Barnes, sporting a sword and an endless supply of money for your love. Because almost always, Fantasy is better than reality.
(Ed: I personally think that fantasy should always be a reality. Its not fair that women have to settle for so much less than ideal. Darn you reality!)
