How tastes and attractions change

First food. I use to love certain foods when I was younger, now as I am older I find them rather bland. While other foods which I swore I'd hate until the day I died I actually now find absolutely delicious. When I first started drinking a few years back I found the taste of alcohol very unsavory. Now I actually find the different tastes and effects very sophisticated. I use to hate V8, tomato juice, and green olives. Now I will get cravings for each of them. And I very much enjoy Bloody Mary's now.

Now as for attraction. I'm probably the only male that isn't gay that would actually admit this but my absolute first crush was on another boy when I was 5. There was nothing sexual about it. I was just in awe of meeting another boy that looked like me, white blond hair, blue eyes, and fair. It's kind of how one looks upon an older brother in awe. But never the less it was my first crush because I liked looking at him. It's also strange to note how my first two out of three female crushes were Hispanic. Now I generally don't find Hispanic women all that attractive. Ever since then I've just been infatuated more than less with fair skinned women.

But even the form of that changed. Usually the girl was either tall or very slim. I absolutely detested larger girls. After I turned about 28 I noticed quite dramatically I started looking at thicker women and women with larger posteriors. I also preferred long straight hair over curvy or wavy but now I find myself attracted to some women if for no other reason than their wavy hair.

Another thing as a younger man the thought of two woman sexually together was a turn on. Now, for the most part, it's a turn off. People are as they are and I'll accept them. If your a lesbian, I may initially be attracted to you but the thought of not being able to satisfy your desires is disturbing and I'll turn off soon enough. I'm even less attracted to bisexuals, it's like they think they deserve one of each. They may say they don't but it's part of the subconscious desires of a true bisexual. You can be with them but no one person can ever really satisfy them. And also I'm not talking about women that can tolerate putting on a show for men but really aren't in the least gay; that they would dance and maybe kiss with other women when you know they are doing it for your benefit is a turn on. Oddly I think if I were to get in a serious relationship and later find out the girl was into other women, where other men would get down on their knees and thank god, it would break my heart.

I am a very weird man.

Give Them Wine....

Well I discovered another blog this weekend. Triplecream by Bree Crocetti. I found her doing a search for Bottle Rock. I very much like wine and I'm interested in finding a reasonably priced wine bar to try out a lot of the more expensive wines to find those which I like as well as to develop a more sophisticated pallet for them. I love cheese which is often featured at wine bars. Plus it will give me a chance to associate with another click of people. I love diversity.

I can drink all sorts of hard liqueur and it takes a lot to get me drunk, but give me a few glasses of wine and my head is spinning. It's amazing how different alcohols effect different people differently. I like drinking on weekend evenings but I prefer to stay close by in Culver City just in case I drink too much.

Well it turns out Bree is a local connoisseur of restaurants and wine. She has a lot of great reviews for places mostly on the westside and she takes lots of pictures. And it turns out not just one new wine bar opened up locally but two! Right under my nose... The other bar features mostly Italian wines on some sort of fancy wine dispenser. I think Danial, my local Taxi driver is going to start getting a lot more business as those places are on the the other side of town.
