"Girls are like apples on trees.  The best ones are at the top of the tree.  The boys don't want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt.  Instead, they get the rotten apples from the ground that aren't as good, but are easy.  So the apples up top think something is wrong with them, when in reality they're amazing.  They just have to wait for the right boy to come along, the one who is brave enough to climb all the way to the top."
