Apples and wine.

[wildwood]

No doubt some of you have heard this quote, so this is only for those who have not.

“Women are like apples on trees, the best ones are on the top of the tree. The men don't want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and don't want to get hurt. Instead, they just get the rotten apples from the ground that aren't so good but easy. So, the apples at the top think something is wrong with them, when in reality they are 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 because the value quality.

Now Men... Men begin like fine grapes and it is up to women to stomp the sh!t out of them to until they turn into something acceptable to have dinner with ”

I've never heard it before so I'll respond.

Firstly, the apples analogy doesn't hold. Who says the best apples are at the top of the tree? The sweetest and juiciest may well be on low hanging branches.

And 'men begin like fine grapes'? No they don't.

So then. Based on specious analogies and offensive to both sexes.

Well done.

I liked the apples one; I thought it was sweet.

Reminds me of a London University debate I was involved in, late 1950s:
The motion:- "A woman, a dog and a walnut tree,
The more you beat them the better they'll be."
