Are you an aquired taste?

I will eat almost anything. Cept if it tastes like Brussel Sprouts. *gag*

Yes, it takes a wee while for someone to know me, if ever. Complicated yet simple, think I've said that somewhere here before. I still am understanding myself, I come out with some weird shit at times.

I was thinking less literal and more figurative as in personality. Like it takes a while to appreciate or understand you. You ain't instantly likeable.
Now you clarify it. :rolleyes:

In my personal life I am pretty guarded with my thoughts and feelings. Something that developed from my childhood years. That's probably the reason I have very few people that I call true freinds.
My business life is just that business. I am still me but with the lock out option on the inner person.

Duh!

Yes, I'm an acquired taste...sort of like 80-90% cocoa chocolate bars. Smells like dirty socks but oh so yummy on the tongue. People either love me or hate me when they first meet me but you better bet I make them talk to me if it's the latter.

For some, it's instant like. They see me as forthright, honest, aggressive, big-hearted, and deadly fair (including about myself). Which I am . . . or I'd like to think I am. :rolleyes:

For others, it takes some time to see that I'm not just a plainspoken drawlingSoutherngayredneckbearTabathaclone. If that can be all one word. :redface:

I'm like a fine wine - full of sour grapes. :biggrin1:

Sort of.

I'm very shy and guarded/private so it takes a long time for me to come out of my shell but even then I'm still fairly withdrawn.

In my offline life, I'm pretty much liked right away. Friends say I could get a stump to talk to me, but I'm truly interested in what people have to say. The social me is easily palatable.

Lots of people think they know me, but actually very few do. The "real" me is an acquired taste.

What's a true friend for you?

Do ya meet many who like that ultra dark chocolate? My experience has been that the people who are dark chocolate themselves enjoy other dark chocolate as well. Just because they are familiar with it's taste.

Yes, you are very likeable. I hope the real you is similar to your personality here because she's ultra cool and not an acquired taste.

Oh, yes - very much the same, except funnier. And so cool, that I've actually lapped cool and ended up back at dork. It's just I have a very dark side! :wink:
