Hollywood is the last place in the world to take direction from. In every Hollywood romance movie, the man is rejected and then wins the woman's love by acting like a creepy desperate stalker who refuses to take no for an answer. In real life it simply doesn't work. Also the notion that beautiful successful women are lonely is more tripe aimed at giving incels hope. Get real.
It's a common female fantasy to be rescued by her prince.
Then he rides off with her to love happily ever after.
If that wasn't true, they wouldn't make so many "chick flicks" with the same basic scenario.
Men are different . We want a pretty face , nice boobs and butt. If she's sweet and smiles at us, that's the game LOL.
PLus, most women are reluctant to openly admit their real inner feelings on romance.
That's why they always "fight it" at first in the movies .
A successful guy is viewed as an independent stud if he remains unmarried and hooks top shelf pussy.
As men get older, they often get called ; distinguished or statesman, etc
However, an unmarried woman is considered lacking regardless of her personal success.
Terms like "spinster" and old bat are used to describe older females , especially if she isn't too hot looking.
Men will marry a much younger pretty woman and feel triumphant .
Woman want to marry a man that makes then feel safe, loved and secure.
My wife is a successful baking exec VP and was married /divorced before we ever met.
She's independent minded and has her own strong opinions.
BUT, when we started dating ( in her 40's) she started acting like a "schoolgirl".
A gf of her's remarked about that , when we all met for dinner.
My wife and and her "professional " girl friends all went with her to select her wedding gown.
LOL, I swear , despite being 40's yr old professional woman, you'd think they were getting a prom gown.
TRust me, this is how most females really THINK deep inside when it comes to romance.
Many woman will go along with being put down , IF they're really into the guy.
BUT, in the back of their mind they will try to CHANGE him.
They pften use subtle female manipulation to do this and most men remain oblivious.
