Girls Are Like Apples

“Girls are like apples...the best ones are at the top of the trees. The boys don't want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they just get the rotten apples that are on the ground that aren't as good, but easy. So the apples at the top think there is something wrong with them, when, in reality, they are amazing.”


I found that quote on a website where girls post questions for other girls to respond to. I copied it and sent it out to a bunch of people I know to get their reaction.

I found it interesting that almost all of the women thought of themselves as the apples on the top of the tree; not one of them associated with the apples on the ground.

That only makes sense, of course - no one wants to think of themselves as less than perfect.

Yet, to be honest, that’s exactly what I first thought : that I was one of the apples on the ground, good looking enough to catch some man’s attention at first, but not good enough to hold it so they toss me aside and go for the next one they see.

I also found it interesting that the one man who responded told me that men aren’t even looking for apples in the first place. They want “a real peach” not a “sour apple.”

Food for thought…

    The guy and the peach is a crock full of it. Very Sleezey. And some guys are just into the chase. They like the pursuit, it's not that the woman is not "perfect". It is their own inadequacy. Real men who are actually emotionally more mature than 12 years old want a woman and usually just one because companionship is what it's all about when you get older. Having someone who understands you, supports you and enjoys spending time with you is what some of them actually "get". The others aren't worth it. They want a mommy or "nurse" who will take care of them and let them do whatever they want when they want. A man who can compromise is worth is weight in gold. Some guys have figured out that they must give a bit in order to get back much more.

    You know how the quote continues, don’t you?

    As for men... men are like a fine wine. They begin as grapes and it's up to women to stomp the shit out of them until they turn into something acceptable to have dinner with.
