10 Things The Princess Bride Taught Me About My Future Husband
Parttimemonster.com

The Princess Bride has been an adored love story since 1973. Continually bringing tears, hope, and laughter, this movie (1987) has done it again by inspiring a list of desired traits in a future husband. Please review my list while I am in search of my own sweet Westley.

1. He should fight for me and never give up on me, despite the challenges we may face.

Prince Humperdinck: For the last time, surrender.

Westley: Death first!

2. He should have immeasurable faith in our love.

Westley: "Death cannot stop true love. All it can do is delay it for a while."

3. He should believe I have the best body and always respect it.

Westley: There is a shortage of perfect breasts in the world. It would be a pity to damage yours.

4. He should speak highly of me and to me.

Miracle Max: Get back, witch.

Valerie: I'm not a witch, I'm your wife. But after what you just said, I'm not even sure I want to be that anymore.

5. He should be a glass half full kind of guy.

Buttercup: We'll never survive.

Westley: Nonsense. You're only saying that because no one ever has.

6. He should also be grounded and realistic.

Fezzik: You just shook your head... doesn't that make you happy?

Westley: My brains, his steel, and your strength against sixty men, and you think a little head-jiggle is supposed to make me happy?

7. He should have a sense of style.

Fezzik: Why do you wear a mask? Were you burned by acid, or something like that?

Westley: Oh no, it's just that they're terribly comfortable. I think everyone will be wearing them in the future.

8. He should understand that true love and romance are the greatest things... second to an MLT, of course.

Miracle Max: Sonny, true love is the greatest thing in the world - except for a nice MLT - mutton, lettuce, and tomato sandwich, where the mutton is nice and lean and the tomatoes are ripe.

9. He should love my kisses so much that nothing else matters.

The King: [after a tender kiss from Buttercup] What was that for?

Buttercup: Because you've always been so kind to me, and I'll never see you again, because I'm killing myself as soon as we reach the honeymoon suite.

The King: Won't that be nice? She kissed me! Ha!

10. He should want to serve me and make me happy.

Westley: As you wish.


So, thank you William Goldman for this wonderful story as well as giving us these 10 reminders of how a man should treat a woman.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
