I totally disagree with this analogy.

So why are the women apples who just sit there? Women don't have free will to choose their partners?!?!? It might as well be men who are the apples.

And I don't think most men will not go into a relationship with the fear of getting hurt. It seems like it's usually women who will say things like "I hate men. I'm turning lesbian". You'll never hear a man swear off women and turn gay.

The last part of the quote about stomping men is quite misandronistic. Imagine if the quote read like this:
Quote:
"Now Women.... Women are like a fine wine. They begin as grapes, and it's up to men to stomp the s**t out of them until they turn into something acceptable to have dinner with.

The best ones are at the top of the tree. Most men don't want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they sometimes take the apples from the ground that aren't as good, but easy. The apples at the top think something is wrong with them, when in reality, they're amazing. They just have to wait for the right person to come along, the one who is brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree.

You get an F- "Chump"...

I do say "Hi" in a very delicate manner when a guy looks at me. Yet I won't go past that because I am afraid of rejection or looking like a dunce. The other side of me the "ballsy hot mama" tells me to go ahead. If he does not like me then his loss not mine. It's hard fo rme to be the agressor. I flirt with my eyes! Probably most men are scared of falling in the persuit of trying to pick the choice apple. Maybe it can give me a sense of closure why so many nice guys end up with really mean girls.

We should all (men & women) be at the top of the branch,there are those who don't care that goes all the way down to the bottom. If the ones at the bottom don't care to climb then it's their problem. Some of us will learn.If they don't really care to get a nice person,because they don't want their partner to be better than themselves. true or not?

The only men picking apples these days are illegal immigrants.


And besides, a quality man would never put up with a woman who thinks she needs to stomp the sh** out of him. Even if it's said jokingly, she must harbor some anger or resentment towards men, and sooner or later that will affect the relationship. A smart man knows this and will walk away.

You are probably right JMX! I didn't want you guys to be so offended. I posted this because it was from my email.

This is what I also feel. There are many angry people out there, and at the end of the day everyone has their own "cross" to bear. One can truly miss out by holding resentment towards the opposite sex because of the past esperiences. Luckily I found inner-peace with myself. Whenever I meet someone new, that person becames sort of a "blank canvas", and let them show me who he is. Learned not to taint it by introducing a "past grudge". My question is where are the intelligent men out there?

Don't look at me. I just spent the last 16 years in hiding. How dumb is that? But then, had I not done that...I may very well have missed the opportunity to surround myself with all you wonderfull ladies on this forum. So it's not all bad...and I may not be as dumb as I think I am.
