My ex-husband is a vanilla guy. The only ice cream flavor he will ever eat is vanilla. I really can't understand what posesses him to eat the same plain flavor of ice cream day after day, year after year. I would go crazy wanting some Ben and Jerry's after too much of that. I could chalk it up to my much more sophisticated palate, or my sense of adventure about food - I love complex flavors, and the combinations of some B&J's really hit the spot. I laughed at the ex once about his boring choice, and he told me that obviously I just wasn't eating very good vanilla ice cream, and that if I choose the right kind I'd taste all kinds of delicious subtleties in the flavor. So I tried the kind he recommended, and it still just tasted like vanilla to me. But just because I don't enjoy vanilla as much as the ex does, that doesn't mean it's not flavorful and satisfying for him. I'm not going to feel sorry for him for not liking the same ice cream I do, that would be as pointless as him feeling sorry for me because I can't detect the subtle flavors in his favorite cup of vanilla. If he's enjoying his ice cream as much as I'm enjoying mine, what does it matter if his is made of vanilla beans and mine of peanut butter cups or cookie dough? We're both getting the same ice cream headache.

quote: ORIGINAL: twistedwillow You assume my attitude from a few words. Again, perfectly within your right to do so. I have formed opinions of various people based on their words as well ... probably entirely incorrect. I am not arrogant enough, unlike some, to say so. I bolded that sentence to point out to you that a few words is all we have to know you by. I don't know you in real life. In real life, your body language could have indicated that your words were meant not to be taken for real, but instead were ironic. We have nothing to judge you by but your words. If your words are written so that everyone assumes you are being arrogant, then the fault is yours for picking those words. There's no facial expressions, body language or anything else to judge by on a forum except words. Take this as a suggestion to reread your posts and consider them before posting, so your miscommunication does not occur again.

quote: ORIGINAL: twistedwillow I guess in a way I feel like I see a rainbow of colours before me and I want to share the beauty with others but they only see 2 or 3 different colours so don't understand the complexities and beauty they are missing. Not really a question more a muse, So do others have a similar view? Despite the fact that, yes, it is an arrogant view. No, not really.... If anything, I envy vanilla people a little for being able to "see the rainbow" and have a a joyful, vibrant, fulfilling partnership and sex life in an equal relationship. I'm not going to say that I'm deficient because I can't, but I'm certainly not going to say that I'm superior to them because of it either.
