If I ate apples, I would peel them. That skin's kinda gross.
I think I know why you don't eat apples. If you would, you wouldn't peel them. You throw away the core when you've eaten the rest also, don't you? Wuss! Wuss I say!
I am a wuss, but I just don't eat a lot of foods. I'm very picky. Also, apples are hard. They always wind up hurting my teeth. Even now that my braces are finally off, my teeth are pretty sensitive.

Even the softer apples like Golden Delicious?
If you wanna go for the real quality apples, in my opinion Braeburn and Granny Smith will do that for ya.

As apparently one of the incurable saps of the forums, I think that ALL kisses should matter, because it should be an emotional connection thing. I think kissing someone you don't really care about is honestly rather whoreish and stupid. (I'm talking about on the lips. Kissing on the check or forehead or something can be friendly and affectionate without having nearly the emotional implications as kissing on the lips.)
On a separate note, Golden Delicious apples are amazing. Granny Smiths do not compare.

I have to agree with you on the sappy note. Kisses should be important. But not the physical idea of the kiss, but the emotion behind. Experiencing those emotions for a first time is important. I think, anyways.

So, How about Non-emotional kisses - for example two actors on a stage?

That's not important, and shouldn't be considered as something that "matters." But, if it's for the sake of entertainment, I guess it can be understood. I personally never could do that, and still wonder how actors and actresses can. If actors did kiss and tried to argue that the kiss mattered as much as a normal kiss, then I would have a problem. But, no actors would do this, so it doesn't really matter.

Why is it important that a kiss matter? Defend your position!

Personal values. It's pretty much that simple. To clarify: When I said that kissing someone you don't have an emotional connection with is whoreish and stupid, I find it comparable to how college girls will wear stiletto high-heels to class, even if they have to walk all the way across campus. I think it's unnecessary and done completely to get more attention from the opposite sex. Does that mean I'm going to judge someone just based on the fact they don't value comfortable footwear? No. But it DOES mean that I will inwardly roll my eyes at them and their lack of discretion. Metaphorically speaking, actors kissing on stage is to me somewhat like me walking across campus in heels because I have a concert to go to that I have to dress nicely for, and I don't want to carry a change of shoes with me, if that makes sense.

I would say that this analogy is deeply flawed. The first causes you no harm, and can be quite enjoyable. The second does cause harm, and I don't see how it could be enjoyable, either.
Okay, so I'm not the only one that doesn't buy into that whole First Kiss thing. Yay!
I got my first kiss when I was in first grade from the neighbor kid. Three of us kids were eating pizza behind the garage and he decided that I would be his girlfriend. I said okay. He gave me a sloppy pizza kiss and I punched him. Not magical.

Wow. So I assume you've never had a good kiss, then? Some people do it because it's fun.
Jesus, why are so many geeks so puritanical? Hearing virgins wax poetic about the sanctity of sex is hilarious.
Most likely not. I haven't dated in years anyway, and my last real serious relationship was also my first. If you want, you can chalk it up to me being naive and inexperienced (and also a bit of a scrooge towards all things relationship-ish), I don't mind that. And yeah, I'll admit, I'm a bit of a prude in my personal life. But like I said, that doesn't mean I judge others for not following my personal standards. I just sort of roll my eyes a little and think "well, I wouldn't do that, but if that's your thing... more power to you".
Do little kid kisses count? If so, my first kiss was at the age of two. At my in-home daycare I would climb up on the arm of the sofa and pounce on any of the boys that came out of the kitchen and either draw on their face or kiss them. I have no memory of this, but my Mom says I was quite the toddler rape-kisser.
(and also a bit of a scrooge towards all things relationship-ish)
You store them in an enormous storage bin?
I'm a bit of a prude in my personal life
Nothing wrong with that in my eyes. If you're not really feeling the whole game of it, It's a hell of a lot better that you're staying off the field till you feel comfortable to play along.

I guess if that can be taken metaphorically? Maybe I should've said "grinch".
And I don't know if I'd say I'm staying off the field, exactly. There's one or two guys I wouldn't mind dating... I just don't want to date just for the sake of dating. I don't want to be with someone unless I actually feel something for them. I dated a guy once for the hell of it, and I felt all kinds of guilty about it because I felt like because I wasn't really that into him, I wasn't really being fair to him. I also think relationships can stir up a whole lot of drama and mess up a whole lot of other friendships, so I don't think it's really worth it unless you really care.
Casual relationships are a great thing. They hone social skills you need for more serious relationships, and they are lots of fun (unless you're dating someone awful/awfully boring), can lead to lasting friendships even if the relationship doesn't, and provide biological fulfillment (both social and sexual).
I'll just have to agree to disagree with you on that one. Maybe I've just never had the right kind of casual relationship, but ehhh. I don't really feel like getting into that kind of thing right now. It's just not what I personally want. ...Partially because most of the guys who've asked me out within the past year have been creeps. Slimy, boring, backbone-less creeps. One went on to date my roommate, and I resented that immensely because he was a sex addicted douche bag who, as it was so eloquently put: "Will probably be a registered sex offender within the next five years." The one guy who wasn't completely terrible was that like-a-brother friend who I just couldn't date. All in all, I guess the moral here is: Anrild sucks at dating and that's okay because she's a prude anyway. Don't let her personal viewpoints sway your's, it's just not worth it.
That's exactly the kind of thing casual relationships help you to solve. By getting this experience under your belt, you can improve and hopefully meet someone you DO like. If you wait and wait and wait for the "perfect someone", you'll just be disappointed and possibly turn him/her up. Don't date douchebags, asshats, limp-shakers, losers, or dumbasses, and you'll do fine.
Any kiss, first, last, best or what ever, only matters as much as you make it matter. Same thing goes for any type of relationship or bedroom gymnastics.
I do have a "favorite" kiss. It wasn't the first, the last or even the best. It was the one I wanted the most.
I guess if that can be taken metaphorically? Maybe I should've said "grinch".
Not really, I'm just taking the piss, being friendly, all that. But I suppose it would work as a metaphor easily enough.

Bloody well good on you, I say. I wish I'd been that smart previously. I'd still be in the same situation I am now, realistically, But I'd have a few less scars(Both metaphorically and literally, I've dated some real nutters) - I say Anrild is awesome at dating, because she's not just doing it for the hell of it, or because she's bowing to the idea that a girl her age should date and play the field a little to see what she likes, but is only dating when she's bloody well ready to date and everyone else can go throw themselves in a pond for all it will affect her actions.
And that Bloke you described does indeed sound like an utter shitbadger who needs a good belt in the chops.

By extension. I am so incredibly awesome at dating, because I haven't ever felt bothered to care about dating.
Damn. I was wrong about my first kiss. It was in 2nd grade when I ran up to this boy in my class and grabbed then planted many kisses on him. I remember being close friends with him but after that not so much. In retrospect in my teen and adult life I was always the one who kissed first. ^_^
