people have generally unrealistic expectations of the oppsite sex regardless of the medium through which they derive they're expectations. when we realise that such novels can be a vibrant source of fantasy be it mills and boon or FHM, they can lead to an enrichment of the relationship when they are expressed, that we keep our fantasys secret is mentally destructive and yes do lead to unrealistic notions!

Yeah! I mean, as much as every girl would love Prince charming to come swipe her off her feet,it's not going to happen like it does in a story!I personally prefer real life, you can have the romance and the love but you also get the fun and games,and the ups and downs.....which makes the relationship stronger in the end....As for the stories.... There's a reason they are under fiction....

I think Brad Pitt gives women unrealistic expectations of men - how are any of them supposed to compete with THAT? (especially since we saw THAT picture!)

That's just one source. Children's stories are bad, too (meeting the prince and living happily ever after). Articles in magazines like Cosmo giving advice on men that is all wrong. Also establishing expectations of men on the basis of their father might not be best, either. But what can you do?

Do women need anything to give them unrealistic expectations of men ..?
I don't think so ..... they start out that way ... novels (or fairytales) just make them worse.

I think it does, I mean what man sweeps you into his arms and tells you everything you ever wanted to hear? NONE! Men don't work that way. In case you haven't noticed romance novels are written by women for women. Does anyone actually know of a male romance novel writer?

Probably, yeah.
Oh, and men with unrealistic expections of women? I don't know about anyone else, but I know what I like, and it pretty realistic, and wasn't inspired from porn or anything.

I think that it can , if someone is young and havent had too much life experiences to know better than to think that all men have that in them.
I think that for most women , they know that the character is written to be all that women want in a man ( sort of lol) and know it is mostly fantasy that a men can be perfect.

only if u are daft enough to believe everything u read...... ! most of those romantic novels are written by women, so u tend to get male characters in those books that reflect the desires of the author...
give me a decent horror book any day ! most romantic novels are nothing more than fairy tales for adult women... (kind of like Cinderella, but with sex in it !!!)

It did for me but as older I got I understood that life doesn't happen like in a fairytale. And I do have a living proof for that. My life is not a novel.
