Every woman knows the power of a good romantic comedy over female humor. Although it is the most obvious story in the world and we know from the first scene that the good guy and the young lady will understand each other in the end, do we leave the cinema? or from the front of the television? with renewed hope and the certainty that great love really happens when we least expect it.
Most of these stories are, of course, movie bullshit. Even so, we can learn some good life lessons from this kind of movie, valuable learnings that will be very helpful, even if your love life is not as perfect as the characters' lives.
Be authentic
The protagonists of romantic comedy films have different profile types. From the extremely competent executive who doesn't want a love relationship to the owner of her small business in an inner city, apparently every type of woman can live a beautiful love story. What is the common point between them? The authenticity.
The career-focused executive is authentically determined and ruthless, while the owner of a bucolic bookstore is keen to conceal her poor social skills and allow herself a few extra pounds, almost without crisis.
Anyway, they are all deliciously authentic, taking on their personality with courage and grace. This reinforces the importance of being yourself without trying to act according to imposed standards or modifying behaviors just to please others.
In movies, this attitude is rewarded with great love; In real life, it can be the essential difference between a cast and a happier life.
Be determined
Usually, at the end of the movie, the character needs an act of courage and / or bravery to be able to get the love of her life. While this determination in real life will not necessarily guarantee your eternal love happiness, it is always valid to act courageously, take risks, and make firm decisions.
Being determined is critical for those who want to achieve their goals, whether they are in the relationship industry or in a career. You have to be brave and confident in the future to get any positive results in any area. So be determined? and reap the rewards of fighting for what you believe in.
Keep an open mind to the possibilities.
Classic plot for romantic comedies is one in which the protagonist spends the whole movie chasing after a certain boy, who realizes to be a real scoundrel in the end; Meanwhile, there is usually a loyal friend by her side, who she doesn't notice until she has broken face with the other.
This is the third lesson of a romantic comedy for life: Keep your eyes open for the possibilities around you.
Not always the cutest guy you have ever met is the right guy for you, on the contrary. The cutest guy you have ever met will probably be a source of major headaches. So look around and try to see that quiet young man who is always around: he may be the true love of your life.
