The perfect Couple in pop culture

Love. Oh sweet love, or at least that’s what everybody says because not everybody has had the joy to experience knowing the feeling; at least not in a romantic way; in spite of that everybody has actually come across some show, movie or some sort of media that can be related to it. Now days has become strangely common to watch tv shows as a hobby, mainly for teenagers which happen to always create new words and term to refer to certain things and so that’s how we find ourselves with an acronym that you may or may not have heard before: OTP.

OTP stands for one true pairing and is the current form most use by youth these days to refer to the so called “perfect couple” and not necessarily prince charming and Snow white; due to the fact that “More exposure to marriage-themed reality shows led participants to believe in “love at first sight” and that true love will be nearly perfect” (Hillin, 2014) so that’s what’s psychologically call idealization, yet it seems on the other hand that a lot of people have a tendency to believe that your OTP is a mechanism of projection of what you want/expect in a relationship with a significant other.
