I wish I grew up in a time where men behaved like they do in Jane Austen novels
I watched Pride and Prejudice last night. I had never seen it. What a beautiful movie. If you haven’t read the book, i def recommend doing so then watching the movie… it will give you a bit more insight into the characters.
What really spoke to me while watching this movie was the extreme difference between male behavior and courting then and now. I believe the term “gentleman” has lost its meaning throughout the years. Courting hardly exists anymore, and the gentlemen who partake in the ritual are so few and far between, you would be lucky to meet just one in your lifetime.
Maybe we should blame technology. There is so much available to us at the snap of our fingers now a days, it’s overwhelming. There are far too many choices that are far too available at all times. Patience, in our generation, is a lost trait. People don’t write letters anymore, they send emails. The amount of effort that goes into finding someone compatible has been slashed to basically 10 minutes online. 2 minutes if you just want to get off. For most men, who not unlike electricity , follow the path of least resistance to get a woman, this is the best thing ever. For women like myself, who are hopeless romantics and appreciate a man more if he works for my attention with romantic and kind gestures and shows strength and persistence to get it, this is just about the worst thing ever.
I won’t say it’s hopeless to find said man, I’ll just say if you do…. hold on to him forever.
