on music

okay so on my way to drop my little brother of to school we had the radio on and we were both quietly humming to the songs we knew so well. what i didn't realize is the words i was actually singing. At the time we were humming to maroon 5 and this left me speechless. i just listened for a moment to what i was actually saying. its the cute  song that goes "i will stand in the corner in the poring rain ...and she will be loved" so i thought to myself (because i am single) what i would give for a guy like that. And I'm sure all the young girls out there have thought, "why cant i have( insert here the name of your favorite singer)?".Recently i became a fan of a very popular boy band. i actually never even winked an eye on them until i herd a song in their album that left me gasping for air, you may have herd of it Little Things by One Direction. i know i know some of you may hate their music and the mere mention of their names has you gagging . And that's okay i respect that. the thing is that all the boys in all the bands i have ever listened to, and even the lone wolfs, like the Joe Jonas, have these really sappy love songs. some that go over and beyond what you expect in reality. And this is were i see the problem.
At first i thought this is them touching their inner most girly sides, appealing to the audiences. then it hit me, and i mean hard, hard enough to sit here and write about it. Why aren't men like this any more. I want to believe that at some point in history men or women actually acted like this. the courting process might have been more romantic once. I did have a boyfriend once, when i was in 7th grade that wrote all types of poems and praised me and gave me the most insane gifts , just to see me smile. i keep those looked away in a box nowadays. But i thought all my future relationships were going to be like that. unfortunately and due to my father i broke the poor boys heart. i regret it often when i end up with a guy who cant treat me right.
Any way going back to the point, could artist who have sappy love songs really be letting out their inner charmer or is it just to attract the population? and could they really be dream guys? i mean do they live by what they sing or do they treat their girlfriends indifferent from what they use to woo all the teens out there?

your confused teen,
