jenny Posted October 27, 2003 Posted October 27, 2003 : P giggles, no i just mean: why do creatures have hard-shells? to protect themselves in the most basic way possible. as a defensive technique, it even lacks the excitement of flamboyant colouring or bits that shoot liquids. i don't want anyone that scared of exposure; i'm not a predator and i don't care for the assumption that i am. or, if i am a predator, the shell is just too frustrating to deal with and is likely to only be guarding snail meat. hence, i'd prefer a soft shell and a spine. everyone should protect themselves, but not gracelessly or obtusely.

Ah good point jenny, funny how the metaphor of hard shells relate to tough guys

If they're hard, you start questioning yourself, him, everything and then it gets all insecure and yucky. Your right on the money girl! The guy I'm dating is HARD to the max shelled. He puts on that macho, "I don't give a fu**" kind of attitude and confuses the hell out of me. I would definitely rather have someone soft shelled just to avoid all the confusion and insecurities.
