I've seen this on a few people's sites and other places. I just had to say something. Sorry if I hurt your feelings.
"Words of wisdom (more like "wisdom"):
"Women are like apples on trees. 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 just get the rotten apples from the ground that aren't as good, but easy... So 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 man to come along, the one who's brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree.
And... Men?
Men are like a fine wine. They start out as grapes, and it's up to women to stomp the crap out of them until they turn into something acceptable to have dinner with"
First off, I think it's the other way around. I think it's Men are like apples on trees. Not necessarily at the top though. They are all over the tree. You just have to look for them. Women either don't look hard enough or they don't recognize what a good apple is. Most of them pick the rotten apples (jerks). While the good apples remain on the tree. OR!! Women already have the good apple with them, but they still choose the rotten apple and the good apple gets thrown to the side or on the ground and ends up getting stomped on.
And let's say women are the apples. When men go to reach for the good ones, they STILL get pushed aside. Why? because the apple has seen a different guy. The good apples up top are still looking down at the rotten men going after the apples on the bottom. So either way...the good guy still ends up losing. Am I bitter? Of course not, I just hate seeing stupid things happen.
And men are definitely a fine wine. Not the grape part, but the part where you have to know what kind of wine to get. If you don't know or understand wine, you aren't going to be able to enjoy the wine. The way it looks, smells, tastes, etc. If you really wanted a man to be acceptable to have dinner with, why not try to understand him?
I'm not just targeting women. I'm talking about both sexes. If you want a successful relationship, you better learn to understand the other person. You better know the person VERY WELL before even starting a relationship. I'm not talking about, "oh, we've been friends for 8 years." Yeah, well there are people who don't even know their own family whom they've lived with for 21 years. Time means nothing. You can know someone you've met 2 years ago better than a roommate you've lived with for 4 years.
FOR EXAMPLE!! My best friends: Teddy, Ivo, Bobby, Xiao. I've known Bobby the longest (since 6th grade). Teddy and Ivo know me just as well as Bobby does and they've known me for much less time than that. Xiao knows me fairly well, but not as well as the other 3. Anyway.
I just don't understand humans. I do, but I don't. I used to see people as God sees us. The way I see people now, it's just ugh. Am i perfect? HECK NO!! Far from it. Do I do things that piss people off? Occassionally, but that's cause of different reasons. Not the general things that just frustrate me. That probably makes no sense to people, but whatever. It makes sense to me, lol. I see people now and I'm just like....how could God love us so much? WHY does He love us so much? If I were God, I wouldn't even love myself. The stupid guy that picks from the bottom of the tree. When God is at the top of the tree crying out saying, I'M HERE!! The best fruit of them all. The sweetest. The best looking. The best tasting. The one that will satisfy ALL your needs. And yet, I still pick from the bottom of the tree. It's easier. It's closer. It may not be as good, but I'll never really know so it doesn't matter.
Why is the truth so hard for us to see? Why can't we just accept the truth? Why is it so hard for us to pursue the truth? What's the point of a relationship anyway? What is truth? What's the point? Questions questions questions. A sea of questions...that 99% of people probably couldn't answer. Or even if they could, they'd be way off. Do I know the answers? Maybe yes maybe no. Doesn't matter if I know them. Do you? Have you ever thought about it? *sigh* I've said too much already and who knows how many people I've offended.
This is probably why I don't have many friends, hahaha. Oh well. Having a large phone list or 8 million people on my buddy list are the last things I'm worried about. Am I grateful for the ones I do have? Of course, I wouldn't trade my friends for anyone else. I've lost a lot and gained a lot. A lot of what? Well, that's for me to know and only for me to know, lol. And God knows as well, hehe. He was the one that probably took away, but I'm not going to assume nor jump to that conclusion. What I've lost, I'm probably better off without. What I've gained, is priceless. Only because every good gift comes from above. Thank you Jesus.
Well, now that I've pissed everyone off, I'm going to go to sleep, lol. G'night everyone. Have a long day ahead of me. I just pray God will help me get everything done and done correctly. *sigh* Why do I suck so much Lord? So pathetic. G'night all.

Expertise: Falling on my face - AIYA! =P. But God still loves me, anyway!
Recently, a few girls insinuated what so many girls feel but won't admit to or don't care: "Yea...nice guys - they're nice, but they probably have a flaw that the girl doesn't like." "Picking a guy so you can have some adventure is better." "If a guy does a lot for me, I'm pretty obligated to be with him." "I said no and meant no. But when he pinned me against the wall, I liked it. It was enjoyable so it's ok."
***Plan*** Go to China. Find one of the poorer villages. Pick a girl. Be good to her. Marry her. She'll express true gratitude and genuine effort.
^ Oh God. Please don't let me default to doing that >_< =P.
People are retarded. => I have hope, faith.
I'm a person. => I'm retarded. => Errr.
hmm. *looks for apples at the top of the tree*
Though, the best apples that are the greatest because of their inner beauty, are often passed up because their appearance is but par or sub par. I just say, we have horrible taste in fruit. =P
The sword cuts both ways.
Don't hurt yourself man...
Hey Wayne! Great post - but pity about the word "pi**ed" being used!
