Vagueness sucks. I want to know what I'm doing, what I will be doing, and what I'm doing it for. I hate uncertainty.
I think love on some level works the same way. Women are fascinated with books and stories where men just "know" that the woman they're with are the ultimate loves of their lives.I just saw the episode of The Office where Jim and Pam get married and I thought Jim was so sweet the whole time because he continuously stressed that he knew he wanted to marry Pam the day he met her. I realized that the majority of girls just fantasize about the same type of guy who is completely devoted to them. On the same note, Edward Cullen is the epitome of a man who fits this profile, which explains in some way why every teenage girl and their mothers obsess over him.
I think women are survivalist creatures. We want someone that will always be there for us, take care of us, and make sure we are safe. I guess that's why a woman's ultimate dream man would be to meet someone that would 100%, without a shred of doubt, wholeheartedly be up to the task. That's why I think women take marriage so much more seriously then men, and why so many decide to leave if their men do not marry them after a long relationship.
In the movie, "He's just not that into you", Jennifer Aniston leaves Ben Affleck because he "just doesn't believe in marriage". If I were ever put in a position in a relationship where I had to decide to either never get married or leave, I honestly don't know what I would do. On the other hand, I know marriage isn't really a contract set in stone. People get divorced everyday, nor does it guarantee a life full of happiness and bliss. Despite that, and though my rational brain tells me otherwise, I don't think I could ever be with a person who "just doesn't believe in marriage". I don't know. I think that I, as well as every other girl out there deserves someone that wants to make that promise--under the eyes of their family, their friends, and god--to always be there.
I really do hope there are real Edward Cullens out there. Somewhere.
