Brussels sprouts and all other brassicas (cole crops) aren't worth eating until they've been hit with a few hard frosts. The plants create more sugars as an anti freeze. They will be much sweeter then. There are advantages to the modern world of fruit year round and anything you want whenever, but the downside is that many people have neither farmed nor gardened so have no idea why parsnips suck in the middle of the summer, apples and tomatoes taste like cardboard in June (YMMV depending on lat. and long.) and why cauliflower, broccoli, and brussels often stink. Pick the sprouts in January or February after scraping away a foot of snow. They'll look up at you, blink their eyes a few times and say: "Yooooooo, Duuuuuude. What's up, man?"

Then you eat them.

How does this relate to lovers? Anything in the realm of human existence has an analogy in the plant kingdom. In this case, it isn't that the sprouts are bad lovers, per se, it is just that they were improperly harvested and prepared. Coupled with an unrealistic expectation to have Brussels sprouts in July.

Back to my regularly scheduled dosage...

I'm totally confused on the love front at the moment.

I *want* to be treated like a princess, or at least nicely. I wont go overboard and say I am looking for the perfect guy, who will treat me like a princess and who is house trained, or can at least clean up after himself, with no really bad habits... I dont even need someone to look after me - I'm totally self sufficient.

But why is it that I sent the guy who could (and did) treat me like that away? and the lovely guy who is dead set on treating me like that....I have no spark with?

Yet the guy that makes my heart flutter with insecurity, doesnt really let me in (I'm hoping that will change as things progress?) and although is a *nice* guy, doesnt display any of the things I am looking for... HE makes my heart go boom-boom in the most frustrating way??

I think I'm bipolar, I spend all day going "end it, its never going to work, end it before he breaks your heart" to "I love him, I dont want to be without him". Fuck me, I'm like a teenager again

Sure, but when you get done paper training, house breaking, dressing him up.......will he still make you wet?

Go with the nice guy, and on the fourth date, ask him to spank your ass, because you've clearly been a very bad, bad girl.

Find a closet freak with some kind of neurosis that forces him to be a nice guy on the surface. That seems to have worked out pretty well for my wife.

I've had a theory for a long time. Women are "hard wired" to be attracted to the biggest, meanest M-Fer in the tribe. Back in prehistoric times, the Alpha male was best suited to protect a woman. This gave her (and her offspring) the best chance at surviving, and included some nice percs. Now though, the best suited to protect and provide is an MBA. So women have this almost innate conflict - their gut/emotional desire to got with the brute, their rational analysis to go with the nerd.

My niece is into assholes... I keep telling her to date men she is not attracted to. Nice men. She just wants to be their friends.
You get what you ask for... then you bitch about it.
