May 9, 2006 · Member. England, English. May 9, 2006. #1.

Sep 26, 2007 · Glamour is the quality of being more attractive, exciting, or interesting than ordinary people or things. ...the glamour of show biz. (c) HarperCollins Publishers.

Feb 10, 2012 · Even with those corrections it isn't funny. There is no apparent joke. There is no contrast. Something like: "As mean as it sounds...the guy who acts like Prince Charming usually looks like Shrek." would make more sense as a joke. It wouldn't be a great joke, but it would at least be structured as a joke. To me, the female equivalent of Prince ...
Mar 2, 2012 · Cagey. It may be, but I don't think that is the prevailing use. "She's just waiting for Prince Charming." If it's used as a criticism, it's a criticism of the woman.
