What do girls mean when they say they want 'a knight in shining armour'?

Liberal's a lucky guy.

LMFAO

I'm just emotional I don't need rescuing

I hear this a lot, but what do they mean by it, what does it mean for them.

Don't worry, emotional girls are the best*.

Yes, we're better than emotionless people, but we're annoying. You don't need to lie, it's okay

Who the f says that really.


I think it means they want a real man.

It means you're good at maths.

I s'pose it's the embodiment of all of the good qualities that a guy can have. Charm, chivalry, loyalty etc.

Or maybe that's a cross between Prince Charming and.. I'm not sure anymore.

As well as the ability to run a man through with a sword while clad in steel plate armour, of course.

Shrek?

Of course in real life knights were boorish young thugs who thought they could push people back in the village around because they had done a bit of military training. It got to the point where they basically had to be sent on the Crusades to stop them hanging about seedy taverns fighting, stealing and raping. This is the whole reason why knightly orders developed the courtly love and chivalry thing in the first place: these were people who literally needed a written code to refer to for how to act like a civilised person.

So it is a pretty accurate reflection of what women say they want and what they really want...
