Yes there are women out there that have a "princess" mentality, that think they're better than everyone else and should be taken care of. But not every woman that values herself, has high standards, or takes care of her family is guilty of that.
There is a balance between being humble, as we are servants to others, and servants of God, and between being a Princess, Because our Father is the Most High King. We MUST find worth and value in that as women.

Then God said to Abraham, "As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall be her name (Genesis 17:15).
In Hebrew the meaning of the name Sarah is princess. In the Bible, Sarah was the wife of Abraham and mother of Isaac. Her name was originally Sarai (quarrelsome), but God commanded that her name be changed to Sarah before the birth of her son.
Sarah name meaning
Wesley's Notes for Genesis 17:15
Sarah shall her name be - The same letter is added to her name that was to Abraham's. Sarai signifies my princess, as if her honour were confined to one family only: Sarah signifies a princess, viz. of multitudes.
[HR][/HR]
In the Christian community, we are often reminded that Sarah called her husband Abraham lord and master. 1 Peter 3:6
However, many omit the fact that Abraham called his wife Sarah "princess" and God told Abraham to do that.

I'm not sure if EVERY girl has a good/bad princess complex, given how many out there have such awfully low levels of confidence and self-worth. However, I think you're on to something, and the part in bold really stood out to me.
When we we ladies find our identity in Christ, we are princesses. Humble, servant-hearted, princesses who fear and bow to no other god than our one true God. We may submit to certain others out of obedience to Christ, but we ought not have any idols/gods before Christ. There is confidence, courage, and a quiet strength in a daughter of the King.

I want to be clear with everyone. I do not think EVERY woman has a princess complex. So if anyone saw it that way and was offended, I apologize. I am only speaking of a segment of women who are this way. I went back and read my posts to see if I referred to EVERY woman, and I did not, but I guess some of you thought that for some reason, so I am apologizing anyway. And I also dont believe that only women can be evil, men can be too.

I think I understand where you're trying to go with this post, but I really don't see any relation to having a PC with the things I highlighted above because...
1) there are creepers and stalkers out there, and so yes, we need words to describe those people :creepers and stalkers and psychos even; 2) avoiding communication with the opposite sex actually reveals having an insecure, or maybe just shy personality, and everyone, not just women, do this very often ; 3) So.. are you saying I should start dating any guy who expresses or shows interest in me? Am I obligated to date any guy even if I don't like them back? doesn't sound very wise; 4) Not sure where you were going with this question. Sometimes I wear two rings in one hand. Does that mean anything? (I'm genuinely confused); and lastly, being a stay at home mom is not sinful, unless said mom was not doing any tasks at home and being unwise with her time I guess.

Yea, I should have explained further.
1. I am speaking of women who use those words to describe men who have NOT stalked them and haven't been creepy. They just use those words to describe men who may just seem odd to them. I hear it all the time, and it is a way to put someone else down while glorifying themselves.
2. I am not speaking of women who are just shy. Yes, shy girls do exist but I am not speaking of those. I am speaking of women who do not want to put themselves in a position where they must be socially independent because they are use to having a group of their girlfriends around to act as their identity because they have been spoiled their whole lives and haven't had to earn anything with their communication skills.
3. No, you shouldn't date anyone who shows interest in you, not at all what I am saying, so sorry if I wasn't clear. I am speaking about women who have male friends that they know are interested in them, and instead of distancing themselves from them in order not to hurt them or lead them on, they keep them in the friend zone because they need the attention for their self esteem.
4. Not necessarily two rings or any certain number, but just women who wear alot of bling to try and look like a princess, not realizing that being a princess is an inside job, and that being treated like a princess is earned by being a loving, caring, helpful, non-judgmental woman of God. And being a stay at home mom is not bad, but more of the intentions behind being a stay at home mom. If it is to receive a free ride and go shopping and watch soap operas....while the kids are at school.
