Heriot-Watt University psychologist Bjarne M. Holmes studied the leading grossing romantic comedies that screened from 1995 to 2005,Are You Unlucky In Love? - Blame Hollywood! Articles analyzing all the details from a first kiss to melodramatic proclamations of love. The topics that emerged, such as the impression of a destined soul mate, were a few of the relationship myths discovered by Bjarne M. Holmes. Other contributing relationships experts overwhelmingly agreed that impressions and anticipations about the Hollywood hype put too much pressure on ordinary singles and couples.

It's a documented fact that more than 30% of men and women have used online dating sites to find companionship - that's the realism of our social structure in today's modern world and not the false portrayal of destiny and fate that inevitably brings people together when Hollywood is concerned.

Hollywood's scripted impression of romance is not representational in any way shape or form of a real persons life, yet so many ordinary people subconsciously strive to live up to these pipe dreams. That being said, should we settle for love that is completely absent of romance? Absolutely not. Romance can still be thrilling and accomplishing when founded on common respects. However the message Hollywood often fails to deliver is the effort and maintenance required to up-keep lasting love and romance. Are you searching for a good example of real love that's realistic? Try and experience some thriving couples in your own hometown.

Kristin Davis, who you may recall as one of the leading ladies from Sex and the City has gone on the record with Stella magazine saying "many actors rush into wedlock thinking they are living in a movie scene". Hollywood renown's are often accustomed to acting out surreal romances and they convince even themselves they have fallen in love in the real world. Many people in the show biz industry are often prone to illusions, which is why many Celebes end up unfulfilled after years of relationship failures. Associate degree Psychology Professor Berit Brogaard (another researcher) states that even she has dated men when under the magic spell of Hollywood film myths. Rarely making it over the honeymoon stage, the professor admits she finds "things" can get uninteresting if she's not in the thick of a vivid love affair. Advice Brogaard shared from her own research and life experiences is this: "romance can be confused with love instead of embracing the fact that true love comes with ups and downs".

Whilst many people know that the thought of a "perfect" relationship is delusive, others remain influenced by media depictions.
