~ "men are like a fine wine." ~

[Matrix]

"Men are like a fine wine. They start out as grapes, and it's up to women to stomp the sh*t out of them until they turn into something acceptable to have dinner with."



I sooooooo wish I had someone to stomp the ish out of me.... :cry:


(smart quote, though... just sharing)





MoDo's... you can move this to whereever the heck you think it belongs... :roll: :x

[Lucretia]

ha :lol: , this was a related version of my vine theory.

The vine theory I have developed is this:

Some temptations & passions must be bottled and put into the vinecellar. When the time has come and you finally decide to open the bottle - and it taste good - it was a real passion worth waiting for. And the best thing is that it has matured and become a much better "product".

And if they don't survive waiting down in the basement ...then it was no real passion...


This was the way i handled salsa in Nice 1998....It took be six years before I started dancing. And this is is the way I have managed all temptations beeing a married woman :wink: . If they aren't worth waiting for ....they are not good enough. No quality wine.

I will surley keep your version into my list of favorites.

[brujo]

you keep the good ones locked up in a carefully controlled room and only take them out for parties and special ocassions, while the common ones are to be used and shared with all your friends? :twisted:

I like it, Luc. :D

And, btw, hi Matrix. I'm glad you're back. 8)

[fascination]

I like it too... alot...and am sure its true...except that if you are married you only really get to take one bottle upstairs no matter how good the others might be now don't you? :wink: ....you might be able to serve(introduce) the others to friends who are worthy but you've got some problems if you take a sip yourself....this of course is only as it pertains to men...which seems to be the topic....dance...thank goodness.. is a whole other issue....skies the limit... I plan on trying and drinking all of that up myself (hiccup)

Well...I never needed any stmping and I think I'm a pretty good wine, or enough ladies have told me so. :P :)

[fascination]

everyone needs a bit of refining their whole life through...and that is not solely for women to effect upon men but reciprocally

[Sagitta]

[kdogg]

I think that saying is pretty out-dated. Wine industry has revolutionized, and women are no longer needed to stomp the grapes. So a more relevant saying would be something like...

Good men are like a fine wine. The more the women drink, the more they want to drink, and they wouldn't even spare the last drop of it. And sometimes the women fight over it because it's so rare :wink: :lol:

[fascination]

sagitta-- I hope not...perfect is soooooooooooooo boring

[kdogg]

sagitta-- I hope not...perfect is soooooooooooooo boring

Perfection seems boring because we haven't tasted it yet. Remember the good old story about a fox trying hard to reach the delicious looking grapes. He gives up after a while, making himself believe that the grapes must surely be sour.

[fascination]

didn't say it wasn't a goal provided one knows it unattainable....but it is never good to be under the allusion that one is perfect or to really strive for it for it is in embracing our imperfactions that we grow and empower tothers and mature and come to have a sense of our own indiviuality and uniqueness....I venture to guess that everyone's definition of perfection is different....perfect would be my idea of perfect if that isn't too abstract to wrap one's mind around...just wouldn't want folks like that around me...esp the anal retentive variety ...and not just because I don't want to have to work that hard but be cause they are boooooooooooring

[Medira]

sagitta-- I hope not...perfect is soooooooooooooo boringJust like "normal"! BORING!

[fascination]

agree...normal= boring.....though sometimes that is neccessary too...

[pygmalion]

Darn! And I was just beginning to wrap my mind around the idea of stomping the [expletive deleted] out of some grapes! :roll: :lol: :lol:

"men are like fine swine"? Reminds me of that competition for the best definition of marriage: the winning entry was "feed the pig".
:bouncy:

Then women usually goes on in the same breath and add, "and I can't believe all the guys I'm dating turned out to be jerks and players!".

[DancePoet]

Some people are like fine wine, some people are like the rest. ;)

WHINE WHINE as in would you like some cheese with that whine....

Although if the pig sty fits..... ;)

[Sagitta]

whine, wine, swine, fine....on and on we go...Just coem and play with me, will ya?

[DancePoet]

Perhaps this is a ... sign? ;) :lol:

[fascination]

you poet you....


perhaps it is the other way around though....perhaps fine wine is like fine people....warm, complex, interesting, full of flavor, full bodied, aromatic...

hmmm gotta go test this theory 8)

[DancePoet]

:idea: Perhaps both? :D

[kdogg]

Tell me, has anyone tasted wine made the old fashion way, i.e. women stomping the grapes? I'm up for tasting such wine. May be they still make it that way in some corners of Italy?

[fascination]

let's just surround ourselves with both and not bother with the details shall we? 8)

Not sure, but I'm also up for tasting women stomping on grapes.

Hey man, there are whole websites about stuff like that.... :wink: :lol:

[brujo]

and why is this under salsa? Do women not stomp men into submission in swing, tango or ballroom ? :roll:

I see I came late for your 24,000 post celebration... :( :cry:

Won't miss the 25,000 I swear!! :x

So, HOW YOU DOIN'???



And about the topic ... I'm still searching for that person who will stomp da ish out of me and will want to construct a life with me :?

[pygmalion]

Hi Matrix. :D 24,000 was no biggie, but I'll be celebrating 25 grand, big time. Life's good here. Good to "see" you around. 8)

Oh yeah. And me, too. :oops: :wink:

Hey, how about this one...........

"Women are like Toilet Seats... you always wonder who's been there before."

:? makes sense?

[fascination]

matrix ...careful what you ask for 8)

[pygmalion]

Toilet seats?!? :shock:

[pygmalion]

Actually, after some further thought... Maybe both men and women are like toilet seats. Just use my Mom's old trifold tissue-covering trick, cover it up before you use it, and don't think about it too much. :roll: :wink:

See how I protect you from getting trounced, Matrix? You owe me. :wink: 8)

I could swear the title of this thread was "Men Are Like A Fine Wine", and the topic then turned to the bathroom. :roll: :lol:

Hmmm ... conscience, you might actually be on to something. ;)

Well, as long as I can bring my SO. ;)

Hey does your husband dance? My SO does. We could find a good place to do a bit of ballroom after dinner and fine wine?

[tsb]

really??? 8) we ought to talk! :lol:

"Women are like Toilet Seats... you always wonder who's been there before."

:? makes sense?

no. women are nothing like toilet seats: toilet seats don't complain if you don't take them out once in a while.

[pygmalion]

Hmm. I sense an underlying story here, but I'm too much of a "gentleman" to ask. :wink: :lol:

P might think she is a "gentleman", but she's not asking because really she's a lady. ;)

Gentleman certainly can ask ...

So ... Tsb ... is there a story behind your statement?

So ... Tsb ... is there a story behind your statement?for the record tsb...I would never ask a gentleman to take me out especially if it was a financial issue....I think as I have alluded to in other recent threads and as I have talked to my single men friends...that often times women complain about things like "gee you never take me out" when what they are really afraid to say is "it doesn't seem like you are as committed or interested and I am feeling really insecure" because they don't want to open themselves up for what the response to that might be so they frame it in a way that casts the guy's behavior as an inadequacy...pretty counter productive yet common (IMO)

Or maybe it just because they'd like a little bit of romance, at least occasionally. ;)

Some guys just don't get it. They wine and dine, or whatever else it is they do in the 1st stage of a relationship, run into issues during the second stage, haven't worked together with the gal on a process to resolve issues and thus never get out of the second stage, become disillusioned with their relationship, slowly stop doing the romance stuff because of their disappointment with so many issues being unresolved making it difficult to desire romance with her, and continue to spiral down into an ever entangling mess which means they never make it into the third stage, the woman wonders why because she hasn't worked with the guy on establishing a process to resolve issues either, and out pops the question. :roll: :roll: :roll:

isnt it true...some seem harsh until you warm them up a bit....some may not seem interesting at first but finish nicely...some are way over-priced....
