I know of a couple. One of whom is getting, year on year, more and more bitter about the fact that she hasn't found her perfect rich, intelligent, gorgeous, devoted man. I have to say I do kinda blame all those Mills and Boon type romance novels she reads (and she reads alot) and that have shaped her outlook since she was a child. Also, in studying Jane Austen's men I get a lot of squeeing women waxing poetical about Darcy as soon as I mention my thesis topic. Darcy-type men do seem to have some hold over at least a certain portion of the female population.
