What are you? An apple or a pineapple?

No, this is not a question of your fruit preferences. Sorry to disappoint those friends of mine who have slight obsessions with fruits and vegetables. This is about dating. Well, it's really more about shopping. I know a lot more about the latter than the former, so I suppose I should stick to things I know.

Some friends and I were discussing the never ending, always confusing subject of DATING. (insert scary music here)I began explaining one of my many self contrived theories on the subject. Before I go on, I should point out that I was sharing this with a room full of married and engaged women. Only one person in the room fully understood what I was saying and whole heartedly agreed. She and I were the only singles in the circle. Another one of my theories about Love and dating and anything connected is that once you cross the line of what I call, "Serious" love, engagement or marriage, something happens to your brain. You think differently, you act differently, and your ability to connect with single people on any relavent level ceases to exist. Therefore if you don't really "GET" this blog, it's probably because you fall in one of the three afore mentioned catagories.

I began explaining that if there were a dating store,exceptionally fit, intelligent or good looking people would come into the market with more money in their pockets to spend. Therefore being able to afford a suitable peice of...oh let's just say, fruit for themselves. Such as a papaya or pineapple. These are more exoctic fruits. They cost more and stand out in the market among the sea or apples, oranges and bananas. Don't ask me why I used fruit in this analogy. It really has no significance. Likewise, average looking, average intelligence or overweight people only have enough money to buy an ordinary apple. My single friend spoke up and said that she has to shop in the clearance section! LOL Then she started comparing us to the fruits themselves. She made a good point about how it's odd to see an apple and a pineapple together. Have you ever seen those couples where one of them is super model material and the other one looks like they've had several beatings by an ugly stick? Obviously a pineapple person had the money to afford another pineapple, but for some reason that no one understands, they chose to buy an apple anyway.

I know this is a little far fetched, and probably the worst analogy I've ever come up with in my life. I realize there are better ways to say this, but it wouldn't be as much fun. Talking about apples and pineapples made the men in the other room curious as to what we were talking about, and provided added entertainment. The point is, I'm an apple, and I'm looking for an apple. Or a PINEAPPLE that will feel sorry for me before my shelf date expires. LOL (thanks Ruthie) So...What are you? I'd like to point out that once you cross the line I mentioned earlier, you probably think that you're with a pineapple. Ask your friends what they see. They may have a different view. Then again I'm all for the whole..world peace thing, so maybe asking your friends isn't such a good idea. LOL Thoughts?

Oh, and I just thought of something. I better not get any comments on how it's what's on the inside of the fruit that counts! I am fully aware that looks aren't everything. In fact I'm counting on that to get me a pineapple myself! LOL This is just a fun post strickly on physical appearace, which if we'll all be completely honest..really does matter.
