"And I want mine in skinny jeans!"

I was reading Princess Diaries' part 4 yesterday, and I would be embarrassed admitting to that but actually those books are quite interesting- even if they are kind of unrealistic seeing how it's totally impossible to write 6 pages coherently while in an eatery's bathroom stall or, especially, in a car, in the time period Mia completes them in.
Anyways, in this one there were these multiple mentions of wanting a 'Romeo in cargo pants' or loving a 'Romeo in black jeans' and that just got me thinking- why on earth do you care what pants your Romeo wears?
And more importantly, why do you even want a Romeo?

If I have it right, Romeo was an idiot. Not only did he break into the house of his family's mortal enemies but he also stood there calling out to Juliet. How stupid is that? He could have gotten shot! Or stabbed, because I guess they didn't have guns back then.
And if that's not all, he also took poison because he thought Juliet had died. Didn't it ever occur to him to check her pulse before he killed himself? Maybe Juliet just liked to sleep in tombs. Maybe Juliet was a Goth. YOU DON'T KILL YOURSELF IF YOU AREN'T SURE THAT THE PERSON YOU'RE DYING FOR IS EVEN ACTUALLY DEAD.

Not to say that Juliet was any bit smart, the way she stabbed herself for a guy. Sure, she loved him, but have some self-respect, woman! And you can't even defend them by saying 'Oh they were only 14/15!'. I'm 15, and I wouldn't go drinking poison or driving daggers into my heart.

Also, did you know that there is actually a group of people in Verona, Italy (the place after which the city where Romeo and Juliet's story is set is named) who answer these like thousands of letters from around the world every year addressed to Juliet from people who're having love troubles? Yeah, seriously.
I guess the senders of those letters don't realise that when you're asking a fictional character who committed suicide for help with your love life, maybe love isn't your only problem.
