1. Disney princes fall for you instantly

For any girl who has been forever stuck in the “talking” phase of a relationship, you have a whole other level of appreciation for this.

2. Disney princes don’t play hard to get

If Prince Charming can go to every woman in his kingdom to try on a shoe, you can reply to my text message.

3. Disney princes are only interested in one girl at a time

Unless you are counting Prince Eric, but he was under a spell, so I will argue against that point to my grave.

4. Disney princes will always come through in the end

Prince Ferdinand and Phillip break curses, Eric kills the sea witch, Charming rescues Cinderella from her terrible family. Real boys cancel on your lunch plans to hang out with the bros…need I say more?

5. Disney princes are ridiculously attractive.

This is of no fault to real boys, and yes I realize that the vast majority of Disney princes are animated, so this isn’t an entirely fair point, BUT have you seen Prince Eric? What can I say? Dark hair and blue eyes make me *swoon*.

6. Disney princes understand the concept of chivalry.

I understand that as strong independent women, we don’t need men to be chivalrous, but there comes a point where being asked to pay for half of the 25 dollar check on your birthday dinner is kind of disrespectful. Yes, this actually happened to a friend of mine.

7. Disney princes come with their own animal sidekicks

Eric has an adorably furry dog, Flynn and Phillip have horses, Aladdin has a monkey, Kristoff has a freaking pet reindeer. Real boys are lucky if they remember to feed their fish once a week.

8. Disney princes are in it for the long haul—not the hook up.

You notice how all of the prince/princess stories seem to end in marriage? Goals.
