Every Girl a Princess

Have you ever been fortunate enough to be on a date with a gal, and you look up and wonder how the hell did I get lucky enough for her to agree to this?

I've been lucky enough to think that a few times. I've had several wonderful women in my life. I do believe I've been in love before. I know I've been foolish with that word as well. On a rare occasion, I've found a girl that claimed to love me. I've been very lucky and I'm grateful for the women I've known. At the very least I've learned sumthin' from each one.

Women are possibly the most wonderful things ever to walk the face of the earth. Every one of them different from the last. Every one unique in her own way. Every one beautiful, wonderful, and magical in one way or another. They all will do a man wrong and every last one will have a man fall so deeply in love with her he'll do all kinds of foolish things for her. Those might even be the same man.

That happens often enough to give women the reputation of bein' impure by nature. You girls know it. Every thing you do is right, and every thing "That Bitch" does makes her a "whore" or "prude" or "bitchy" or whatever. Buddhists have taken note of it. They say since a woman is of an impure nature she will always be ranked below a Buddhist monk even if she's been a priestess (I guess that's the female alternative to monk) for ten years and he joined yesterday. (Though modern Buddhists have changed this bit.)

Regardless of the nature of a woman, I've always been of the philosophy that every girl is a princess and should be treated as such. It's the way I'm made. It's part of the philosophy that's burned into my bones.

I've been the subject of joshin' from time to time on account of I have shown few discriminations in the women I court. I do not treat women differently based on physical features. There ain't much reason too. If you look closely enough at any woman there's somethin' worth lovin' in every one of them. It may be the eyes that get you on one, or the hips on another, or the jokes another tells, or the way one of them smiles when she's nervous. There is sumthin' about every girl that is worth carin' for.

Not all women are aware of this. There are girls in the world that think that they aren't worth lovin'. These girls believe that 'cause they got a lil heft to 'em, or freckles, or a scar, or a crooked tooth, or whatever it may be for any particular girl, that they need to fix that before someone will love them.

That just ain't true. It's a shame that anyone would ever think such a thing. I know with all the models in magazines, the images on T.V., and how little criticism us guys get for bein' outta shape, it's easy to feel like you ain't good enough for somebody. But you are. Everybody deserves love.

You girls deserve somebody to love you for you. All your quirks and imperfections are what make you girls as wonderful as anything ever to see the light of day. You are all princesses and deserve to be treated like you are. Never settle for anything less than a man. A real man that is. A real man that'll hold doors open for you, give you gifts from time to time, pay for dinner, and not put up with anyone (least of all himself) showin' you any disrespect.

In my time I've seen far too many women puttin' up with a useless man's guff. They hit women, they neglect 'em, drink til their mean, lie, cheat and steal. Those kind of men aren't any good to anybody. It's usually best to leave those fellas alone.

Now bein' a princess is a double edged sword. In my opinion, a woman should act like a princess if she expects to be treated like one. She should carry herself with some class, show herself some respect if she wants me to treat her with any. It doesn't take much but a girl that stays dirty, acts trashy, and doesn't show others any respect ain't deservin' of bein' a princess. Bein' a princess doesn't mean that you shouldn't have to work hard or that you should be waited on hand and foot. Any good leader (which is what royalty is, it means bein' in a leadership role you were born into) knows that a good leader does not disrespect her subordinates. Treat them fairly and they will treat you fairly.

One day I will have a child. She might be a girl. My daughter will be treated as a princess, just like her mother. She will grow up knowin' she's worth lovin'. She'll have respect for herself and others. She will not settle for anything less than what is deserving for herself and those she cares about. She will know her worth. When she finds her prince, I won't have to kill him. She would've picked a good one that treats her like her daddy would. 'Cause I know I won't be around forever and I'll need somebody to take care of her for me.

I don't think my girl should settle for anything less that what she really deserves.

I hope none of you girls ever do.

I hope I never give a girl any less than she deserves.

You are all princesses. Know it. Act like it. Demand that others treat you as such.
