Connor Beaton uses the Cinderella story to describe what he calls the "ugly stepsister problem" in dating: women who are overbearing and entitled because they've been "sold a bill of goods." He argues the issue isn't attractiveness but the entitlement that damages relationships.
The ugly stepsister problem. One of the main issues with modern dating and one of the things that you, as a man, should absolutely steer clear from. So let's look at Cinderella as an example. Cinderella has ugly stepsisters, but Cinderella is the embodiment of the princess. She is the embodiment of the woman that men really want and desire, even though she is not a actual princess on paper. And while her ugly stepsisters are very, very different, Cinderella's stepsisters are the embodiment of the entitled woman. They are overbearing. They are indignant. They are deeply entitled to what they should have access to within men and dating. Now, this is one of the major challenges that modern men are facing, both within the dating world and within long term relationships. It's not that women are not attractive, it's that they have been sold a bill of goods from the wicked stepmother.
