What’s your definition of “Prince Charming”?
From dictionary, this term is defined as “an ideal male lover who is both handsome and of admirable character.”
Of course nobody is perfect, but we can always dream, right?
I have browsed around and found answers from some ladies. See if you also agree with them.
One of them said ideally her prince charming would be a friend whom she could laugh with or chat for hours. In other words, he would have some sense of humor, willing to laugh at himself or someone with a free spirit.
Another lady defined her prince as someone who was tall with blue, green or gray eyes. Her prince would be strong such that he would stand for what he believed and not easily pressured into giving in. Most of all, he had to love her, cook for her, buy her diamonds, etc.
One said her prince charming would support her or do anything for her. Similarly, another lady said her prince would be decent looking and tall. He would make her feel special, willing to listen to her and always be there for her, etc. On top of all that, he had to be faithful.
A lady simply listed a bunch of traits for a man to be her perfect prince: sweet, understanding, funny, sensitive, fearless, protective, honest, smart, tall, average build, etc. He should have bright smiles and penetrating eyes (green or blue).
Very interestingly, some said looks weren’t so important as long as the man wasn’t ugly looking. Personality seemed to matter more.
So now, what do you think?
To me, Albert in Candy Candy appeared to have most of these qualities mentioned above. The author of Candy Candy, Mizuki, had indeed created his character as a “prince” material. Do you agree?
Lucky Candy… isn’t she?
So, in order to summarize all of the characteristics of a prince charming, I would undoubtedly say his name is WILLIAM ALBERT ANDLEY!
Well said, SweetCandyAndley! For sure the author Mizuki knew what she did and created such a charming character! 😀
I saw a lovely couple with their child resting on their portable chairs in the beach. The man loves his wife and child so much he doesn’t mind getting stung by heat wave as he assembled the umbrella just for his wife and their child. I was so touched by his love that I had to share this here. Now, that’s the kind of prince I’m hoping for.
Thank you for sharing! Yes it’s very sweet! 🙂
Albert’s blue eyes strike as mysterious and sexy 😀
You’re right 😉
You forgot to add sacrifice, like Albert saved Candy from a lion 😉
Good point! Thanks! 🙂
…that he care less how I dress, act, talk. In fact, we’re five years married 😛
Good for you! 😀
When we have same interest in music and sing songs together 😉
Good points snowbell! 😀
If he truly loves the girl, he’d forget his rich attitude, take off his shoes, grab a machete knife, and work with her in the fields like normal people. Deed is far more important than showing off his beautiful face. Right?
I love your blog and hope to come back here again!
Sacrifice… 🙂
🙂
Thank you Monique! ^_^ Yes, actions speak louder than words 🙂
I met someone who has the same trait as Albert. That was when I was in college. He was every girl’s dream on campus. Unfotunately… he likes men. *sniffs* 🙁
I see… So you didn’t have a chance? Reminds me of the movie “My best friend’s wedding”
Albert sure is prince material! If I weren’t married already, I wouldn’t mind having one for myself 😉
And it’s the complete description of him that makes him so wonderful and handsome, even if he is blond.
My ideal looking man used to be someone with dark hair and brown eyes. The man I married has darkblond/lightbrown hair with grey/green eyes.
In the end I didn’t go for the looks, even though my husband is good looking, but I went for character. My husband is my prince charming. He will do anything for me, we can talk for hours, we are on the same page (most of the time) and he loves me.
Lets not forget respect, which is very important as well
Lucky you, CKati!! Not only your husband is good looking, but he is above all your soulmate!! That’s very wonderful! I guess you’re also a pretty woman? 😉
Moreover, you’re absolutely right about respect! I also think that character is more important in the long run as life long partner. Good looks and awesome body will eventually fade, but one’s character will hopefully mature! 😀
