Prince Charmings

Fairytale romantic heroes

Prince Charmings is the plural of Prince Charming, the idealized romantic hero from fairy tales who rescues the princess.

The term usually appears ironically or skeptically: She's dated a lot of guys but no Prince Charmings yet.

A Prince Charming is any man who seems perfectly romantic—or who only appears to be: He seemed like Prince Charming until the second date.
