Why Dating Prince Charming (Or Any Other Disney Prince) Would Be Terrible

Are you sure those "happily ever after" endings are what really happened?

Prince Charming (Cinderella) would be the obsessive boyfriend.

If he went to those lengths to find the girl that fit a shoe after such a brief encounter, imagine what he'd do if he has an inkling that poor Cindy's been going to balls with other princes!

Prince Phillip (Sleeping Beauty) would never give her a good night's rest.

Now that he knows his kiss is magical, he'll have such a huge ego that he won't stop kissing her while she's in the middle of a good dream, just to prove that he's got game.

Prince Florian (Snow White) would eventually get jealous.

Sure, he professed his love to her and all of her quirky friends. Eventually though, any man will feel a little envy if his girlfriend enjoys hanging around seven other men so much, no matter how short they are.

Aladdin was a thief.

Even though Aladdin turned out to be an outstanding guy, I'm sure Jasmine kept her gold jewelry locked, just in case. Sometimes, no matter how hard you try, you can't shake the thieving spirit.

The Beast was possessive.

He locked her father up, for crying out loud! Yeah yeah yeah, he's not a literal beast anymore, but what's going to happen the next time Belle is too tired to sit with him for supper?

And John Smith was from an entirely different world.

Opposites do attract and sometimes work out, but John and Pocahontas were figuratively, and literally by the end of the original movie, worlds apart. It was touching while it lasted, but being with someone that different puts a strain on any relationship, and Pocahontas would probably wave goodbye in the end.

(As a side note, in real life history, we know that Pocahontas never married John Smith. Instead, she married a man named John Rolfe. Maybe it was just the name she fell in love with?)

I think it's time we stop letting ourselves secretly wish for that fairytale ending...who's with me?
