The oscar curse?!?!
Have you heard of the Oscar Curse?
This really goes to show that it isn't just an Asian problem.
A newspaper ran a feature about the Oscar Curse - contemplating whether Reese Witherspoon's marriage will fall into crumbles after she's won Best Actress Awards. The curse of the Best Actress Oscars has a track record - almost all of the women who's won it would susequently have problems with their marriage/relationships, esp if their significant other is in show biz too. Halle Berry, Julia Roberts, Gwyneth Paltrow - just to name a few.
Why oh why does it seem that men, irregardless of culture and geography and the number (years) of civilisations their society has seen- seem to have this inferiority complex? If you love a beautiful, strong, smart and successful woman, and she loves you, leave it at that.
Hollywood is in many ways, a magnifying glass on normal everyday people. A lot of my friends are beautiful, smart and successful - and yet, have a lot of relationship problems because they earn more, drive bigger cars and are really good at what they do. Why are women punished so often punished for being wonderful?
****************************************************
I actually wrote a long rant and decided to delete it off, for one simple fact. There can be no one general rule to apply. We've just got to be ourselves and love ourselves the way we are, let people love us the way we are, and not what we want them to love. We've got to love people the way they are, and love the way things are.
We've got to see beyond gender.
Women have got to stop, listen and think more before we act. And the men... Sigh... the men have got to tell us what they think, instead of brewing a whole scenario and come up with a conclusion all by themselves!! If I had a machine that enables me to decipher what men think, I'll own the world.
Seriously, my female and (especially) my male friends, if we don't get our act together, someday all the women will turn lesbians.
