Risk & Reward #1: Waity Katie’s Waiting Game – Part 1

There’s an article about the waiting game of Kate Middleton:

Kate waited eight years for the prince to propose. During that time he dumped her, they got back together, and she waited and waited and earned the name “Waity Katie”. What an embarrassing name for a young woman to have. But she finally waited him out, and she’s getting him to the alter before she hits 30.

So I’ve been telling my viewers to write off unworthy men on their balance sheet, but things obviously worked out in Kate’s case. So what’s the difference? Does that mean we should all be more like her?

Here’s the thing: for every investment there’s a risk and reward. Generally the higher the risk, the higher the reward. In another word, “no pain, no game”.

In William’s case, he’s a freakin prince! He’s the romantic lead in every fairy tales (except Shrek). As women in this society, we’ve been programmed since childhood to desire him. Marrying the prince means you don’t have to work, you get to wear designer clothes, and you don’t have to pay taxes. And then there’s the fame thing. Britney has to dance her ass off, Lady Gaga has to compose song, Lindsay Lohen has to...well, act like Lindsay Lohen. But being a princess is an identity you get by simply marrying a descendent of some bloodthirsty conqueror.

So oh yeah, the reward is high.

Stay tune for Part 2 on my next post.
