Are women like apples?
Well, today the most interesting that happened to me was my reply to a mail sent by a colleague... it was fun answering it.... atleast for me... lets see if you enjoy it as well....
The mail sent to me was:
"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 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 man to come along, the one who is brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree.
Share this with women who are good apples, even those who have already been picked!
Now Men.... Men are like a fine wine. They begin 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..... "
My reply was:

This is extremely insightful and really really true! I have personally experienced this…. And it wasn’t pleasant!
But why have you discounted the fact that one reason for the apple’s “wait at the top of the tree” is the fact that many “brave” men have probably had their hearts ripped out and stomped into the ground (to make wine? :) by fancy apples who do not consider the “brave” men to be worthy enough of their affections. These brave souls were pushed off the tree and not only will they be shy of making another attempt for another apple, but their sad case would deter other would-be brave men as well!
Another reason could just be that “brave” men who have actually had the courage to make the climb, ended up disappointed by their conquest? (Perhaps the guy was just a little too down to earth for the apple high-high-high up in the tree?)
I believe that a combination of “over-expectation” as well as “selling oneself short” are reasons for this “wait at the top”. So many wonderful people never meet because of this…. It’s too sad….
Instead, they sometimes take the apples from the ground that aren't as good, but easy.
Not really true. Men don’t like “easy” pickings. Men like challenges. It’s way too much fun trying to woo/impress/court a woman. If it’s not interesting enough, then men lose interest and again start looking at the other trees in the orchard… :)
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 is brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree.
In this age of women’s lib and the metro man, why do you gals still wanna stay on in the tree like Juliet waiting for her Romeo? Now its high time that you all get off your trees and actually meet the brave metro men half-way! I say don’t wait…. Get out there if you don’t wanna miss out on a beautiful relationship…
Share this with women who are good apples,\n even those who have already been picked!
I agree…
Now Men.... Men are like a fine wine. They begin 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.....
It is a universal fact that men are stomped upon to make him what the women want them to be…. Individuality be damned… :) , but I’ve always maintained that men allow all this just in the interests of a beautiful relationship…. Go right ahead u apples, stomp away… :)

Had fun? .... I certainly did! :)
I love taking such stands that lead to controversy. Coz' then people start talking... and that not only entertains me and hones my debating skills, but also gives me such material to entertain you guys with... :)

A friend now can see
What she means to me
Some more secrets now did I share
And she now knows how much I care
I wanna always be close to this friend
Like it is today, may it be till the end
(This poem was spur of the moment to preserve for posterity, what I believe is something important. No attention was paid to its phrasing, so pls ignore the childishness u see in it :)
