What do you think women actually want today? I think most people are confused about what they want because there's a mix of what your mom said and dad said. And their dysfunction. And they're trying to heal that dysfunction. Yes. Exactly. So you've got that complexity. You've then got the complexity of what media said. So, the Disney Princess Syndrome. That's a real thing. The Disney Princess Syndrome, where you saw every Disney princess chasing a prince chasing a king, chasing a frog that would turn into a prince, and you're chasing this love story that you were brainwashed to believe was what love looked like. So you've got your parents, you've got family and friends, you've got TV and media, you've got music videos. Now you've got your first relationships, and they all are confusing you as to what should I look for? And I think that people haven't taken a moment to step back and say, what do I want? What do I want? Not what does my mom think's good for me and what does Disney thinks good for me? What does everyone else think is good for me? What do I want?
