Have you ever had your heart broken? If so, read on.
The title of this post may give the impression that I’m about to rant on about herbs. Think again. We all have our own ‘rating’ system, that’s right you heard me.
Some like to stick to the basics when it comes to rating the opposite sex, for example the good old faithful numbers game, is he a 1 or a 10 on your scale of hot or not? For me I like to leave a bit of mystery, I speak in code.
Basil is by far one of my most treasured guilty pleasures. I know, I know, it seems so silly & insignificant however some of the simplest forms can bring such joy. The aroma & flavor this herb gives is so potent & powerful. When I smell basil I feel a rush go right through me. No it’s not exactly the type of high you experience in the bedroom; however it has been known to get the daydreaming flowing.
On the contrary, Cilantro is not my friend. I don’t know what it is, but my taste buds & Cilantro don’t mix. Enough said.
Let’s get to the nitty gritty, when it comes to men, I rate them against my fave & least fave flavors. If he’s well mannered, down to earth, has his shit together & has more personality than an empty cardboard box, then he’s of basil quality. If he’s obnoxious, lacks couth & is well rounded in most of the unfavorable characteristics department, he is of Cilantro quality.
Ladies, we’ve all met them & perhaps have been fooled by them. Yes, that’s right, the Cilantro seems to be over taking the Basil. Where are all the basil quality men these days? Have all the Basil farms shut down? I know we’re in a recession but I thought it was economic recession not a lack of quality men recession.
I recently experienced what I thought was Basil, but in fact turned out to be the polar opposite. I was dooped, he had Cilantro written all over him. In retrospect, there were signs. My friends kept telling me I was too good for him, I kept making excuses for him. If this sounds familiar, stop. He is not worth your time. If he’s not making you feel special & the queen of his world, chuck him in the compost.
In general, I believe in giving men a fair chance. My rule is the following; don’t judge others based on someone else’s opinion. If you’re attracted to someone, give them a fair go & form an opinion based on their actions. Only judge someone if they have directly affected you on a personal level.
Make sense?
Know your worth. Don’t underestimate your value & never lower your standards. Know your threshold & know when to walk away.
Don’t settle for Cilantro because believe it or not there is a lot of Basil in this world, you just need to keep an open & honest heart to find it.
If you’re currently in a relationship & possibly having doubts, try my rating system. It might shed some light. If you’ve recently had your heart broken, listen to some old school Alanis Morissette, go for a run & snap out of it. He isn’t worth it. Trust me.
