Ahh, but that depends on your worst, doesn't it?
If your worst is shrewish, violent, selfish and mean then I wouldn't hang around to see what your best is.

What if my worst was to beat the tar out of you but bring you flowers and chocolates the next day?


Well obviously if it involves crossing the line, tearing down someone's self esteem, beating someone up, throwing them through a plate glass window, it doesn't apply.

I actually meant depression and crying and being overwhelmed (my version of a meltdown)


And people tell me that emphasizing my own negatives is a bad idea...

What I appreciate most about someone I appreciate is that they like and care about me.

That's just arrogance and near enough the 'my way or the highway' attitude dressed up as something else.


Actually, it's never caused me any problems with men. If they're to piss weak to cope with depression or crying they can %$#@ off imo.

People who say "I like you when you behave normally, but I don't want to cope with you when you're down - I like happy happy calm girls - if you're down I don't want anything to do with you" don't deserve you, period.

Maybe get some success with women before critisising the way others think.

Too many men expect women to have perfect moods, to behave sweetly, to never cry, to never get depressed, and they cannot cope with a woman when she is depressed or upset. These people are Not real men. Same applies for a woman who expects her man to be perfect.


You clearly didn't read what I said after quoting wombat in the same post as well, that is was alright to have an off day be and be moody, I already explained the differences between that and the whole 'if you can't handle me at my worst, you don't deserve me at my best' philosophy to be a complete b*tch or b*stard. I know this because I've been on the receiving end of it from ex's and I've ended up walking away because they were literally just taking the p*ss.

I've also had a fair amount of success with women for the record, so you can get rid of the superiority complex you clearly seem to be stuck with.

Never said anyone didn't have issues, but too many people out there think their problems entitle them to act however they want, not caring who gets hurt along the way.

That's called being selfish and inconsiderate. If someone is "taking the piss out of you", that's a completely different arguement. There are things that it doesn't apply for when people cross the line like I stated above. Not liking emotionally weak men who can't handle tears or sadness was what I meant.

I'm an easy going golden retriever sort of dog, anyone with a chip or a pat who says nice things is okay.

Otherwise I like irreverent humour

hey.. uhm.. i could love people at their worst, and i could actually hate some people at their best. but in the sense of, i could love people in their worst state, not the worst of what they could do. and as for anybody's best state this is where some people think they are more than who they they really are and such which could lead me to get annoyed with them. but as for the best of what they can do or become, of course you could appreciate that and also help to make it better. just saying.. :)

she's a hollywood creation, and hollywood types are not known for their unconditional loving. but her booty certainly would be sufficient for my booty-filling needs.
