Tell me why?

When it comes down to it,

You know you always...

Pick the ripest of the berries.

The biggest scoop of ice cream,

The best of every brand,

The one that looks the greatest,

The things that get you places,

So tell me why you aren’t consistent

Tell me why you can’t pick the best

When it comes to men,

You want the one who’ll break your heart.

You choose the worst, and they live up to their standard.

Why go for the bad boy?

When the good boy is right next to you?

Where he’s been all along.

Yes mam, this is sooo true. Though the truth is we ladies have no idea what we want. We go for the bad boys because they are unpredictable, and we seem to think it will make life better yet in reality it is only more stress. I think I finally have my good boy on lock and I will be keeping him for a long long time :D Great write I love it

This is so true, I like the way you put it. Really great poem!

[Barbara Walker]

This is true of alot of women! Treat themselves well, until it comes to men. There's a world of hurt to go with the excitement of the bad boy. Hopefully, time gives one the maturity to change those choices, but not always!

Very true. Some girls always go for the bad boys. I have a friend who always went for the bad boys and then wondered why they always treated her like crap. Good poem.

Same could be asked why guys go for psycho chicks. lol.

Jenn, I like the way you've written this. We can pick the best of things but when it comes to matters of the heart, we seem to let our judgement fall apart, and we don't realize what we have been searching for is right there.

Great write and great depth.

Indeed where is he! a great piece!

I love it- it's simple and straightforward, and just, SO TRUE. Many girls are obsessed with picking the best of the best, however, some girls, when it comes to boys, pick the wrong, stupid, bad ones. It saddens me a bit, and increasingly boys are starting to think that being 'bad' will catch girls attention. Little do they know there are still some of us who fall for the good ones. :/

Maybe we want the bad boys and the heart breakers because we choose the best of everything else?

[SlightlyOdd]

That's true with some people and i like the way you said all the thing she picked well
