Your opinion please, sirs and madams?

Erm, I'm not sure.
I guess if it was Mario saving Princess Peach, then I guess I do sorta like Damsel in Distress stories.
If the Damsel is a total prick, then I don't quite understand why the man wants to save her lol. He should save a Damsel that is respectful to him.
Or if the person saving the Damsel isn't that great, the Damsel should thank the man for saving her, but don't petsa him....I guess...
