In that order

I admit the last one is very fairytale-like but the fact that Hook's father could hear the voice of woman he fell in love with,contradicts that the Sleeping Curse was supposed to be I agree with Zades and Brennan/random lady but how did Ruby and Dorothy cheapen it? Their TLK situation was pretty much the exact same as Snowing's-"I've known you for a day and I'm in love with you." As much as I disliked how their story played out, it was no different to the likes of Snowing, Thomas/Ella or Ariel/Eric Probably because of the fact that they fell in love in 2 hours lol And Snowing didn't? They walked around a forest for like a day. Ariel and Eric had one dance. Thomas and Ella had one dance. This is a universe where 'love at first sight' happens to be a thing.

I don't mean to be "that person" but saying Ruby Slippers cheapened TLK when Snowing didn't has hints of homophobia. Their story had little difference to Snowing. What are you talking about?

Snow/Charming true love was born the first time they met in 6x07

Then they officially met in Snow Falls/Snow Drifts. They fought the trolls together. Then Charming helped Abigail to get Frederick back so he could be free to be with Snow. Then Snow was captured and Charming and Red went to save her. Then Charming saved Snow from having her heart corrupted by killing the Evil Queen due to the potion she took from Rumple. Then Charming was about to be executed and Snow and the dwarves went to save them to King George's castle. Then Snow made a sacrife and ate the Apple to save Charming's life. And then Charming fought Maleficent in dragon form for Snow, so get back with her and save her from the Sleeping Curse. And then just then, they had their TLK

That took months and you said "they walked in the forest for like a day"????? Yes but essentially, by the time their TLK happened, they had known one another/been in each other's company for about a day. Everything else happened apart from each other.

David decided he would find her and convince her they belong together after knowing her for like a day and tried TLK on her after one day.

Nothing necessarily wrong with that, the Snowing love story was one of my favourite thigns about the show in s1 (still is). The lack of realism isn't the problem (none of these love stories are realistic). Its saying that RS didn't earn TLK because they only knew each other for a day but not saying the same for Snowing.
