This is one of my most random ever analogies but it does work, bear with me. So I breed Shetland Ponies, most of them are really lovely and friendly but one of them, Mayfair, isn't. In fact she is moody and flighty and generally just not as nice as the others, except to me. She loves me and for some reason that makes her my favourite too, because she only tolerates other people! I do love all my pets and ponies but Mayfair has a special spot, partly because she was also my first pony.
I actually know what you mean. I used to work at a vet's office as a kennel worker, and there was one little nasty Chihuahua (which is a breed I don't care for anyway) that had a sticker on her clipboard on her pen as a warning that she bites. I was very gentle and sweet with her, and a day or two later, not only would she not growl or shy away, she would come to me happily, tail wagging. It did make me feel special. :)

However, I feel that that doesn't work with humans. I wouldn't want to date someone who snaps at other people, is rude to them, or disrespects my parents. It doesn't matter if he's a sweet cupcake to me, if he's going to treat other people that I know badly, I want nothing to do with him.

I also wouldn't really want a dog/pet like that, either. It made me feel special then, but I like owning pets that like people. ;)

It works the other way around too.

In highschool I "dated" a girl that everyone hated because they thought she was a B-word. But she and I were great together. Because she made me feel like I was different from everyone else.

Actually most of the good relationships I've been apart of were with people who had no patience for other people, except for me :cool:
