Cynical Truth of Fairy Tales

While watching a fairy tale (in the mood that I have been in for the last couple of months), I found some truths in fairy tales.

1. There is only one prince for every 100,000 men.
2. The prince always chooses the prettiest girl and the ugly ones don't stand a chance
3. The girl (although pretty) has to change herself (i.e. lie) to get the guy. (ex. Cinderella - dressed up to pretend she had money; Ariel - had to pretend that she was human; Jasmine - pretended she was a pauper; and I'm sure there are more)

That's discouraging.
