I was a honeydew hater until I actually had a good one. I guess it’s hard to get at the perfect ripeness or something because the majority I’ve tasted had a bad texture or were tasteless.
I mean you can tell if it’s ripe or not by pressing against the part where the stem used to be- if there’s a little give, you should be good.
I feel like people who hate Honeydew are like people who hate bananas but only have eaten fully green bananas. Like yea, if you don’t let it ripen it’s gonna suck.
Meanwhile I only like bananas before they’re completely ripe. When they’re completely ripe, they taste sickly sweet to me, almost rotten. The texture and more tart taste, just before it’s completely ripe is perfect imo.
It also matters where you live, to a point. Living far away from producers means you get fruit that was picked very green, with no ripening on the plant. Even after shelf ripening, the flavor profile will be milder compared to a plant ripened fruit.

You’re worse than Ted Bundy.
I tried this but my dick popped all the way inside I think I pressed too hard
Sir, that was a coconut.
Just when I thought I had forgotten about this, y’all bring me right back in :(
Here’s something I’ve noticed, fruit that’s almost too ripe has the best flavor IMO.

Not to mention some fruit don’t even ripen on the shelf. Pineapple, iirc, is one of those, it just starts fermenting.
I mean I’ve always had shitty supermarket honeydew and it’s been lovely
