TampaLady, I just posted this in another thread, but it is applicable to this one as well:

"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."

angelicblondie: I really like you’re analogy. The view from the top is fantastic. I’d rather be scorched by the sun, than rot in the shadows.

Look out for giraffes!!

It's a nice analogy but I don't happen to think it's true. Easy was easy so I gave up easy a long time ago.

I think a lot of men are willing to climb that tree, the trouble is there's a lot of prickly pears up there that look just like apples and we can't tell the difference until we've taken a bite.

I'm surprised at the lack of faith in fate in this post. Sure, there are a lot of people we could have a fairly good relationship with, but doesn't anyone think that Mr or Ms Right will magically land on their doorstep? Maybe the people we end up in a relationship with are "sent" to us for a reason.....some to teach us a lesson, and some to reward us for good behaviour....oh, oh.......

to each his own kidshelleen, as far as "prickly pears" go- speak for yourself! maybe it's an excuse for being lazy? oR PERHAPS SOME MEN DON'T CLIMB, CUZ THEY ARE unable to Hey, some people have high standards in what they expect as far as character...
