The character-building aspect of saddle choice eludes me. This is so wrong.That said bottom can get used to practically any saddle if you ride long enough and often enough on one.

Tbh, I have some degree of agreement with @gavroche here. I do feel there is some degree of getting used to a new saddle. For example, I have a Brooks B17 on my audax bike and if I haven't ridden it for a while then initially it does feel a little unforgiving. After a couple of rides, my backside has regained its memory for it and I'm away again.The character-building aspect of saddle choice eludes me. This is so wrong.
Sure, I'll grant some time to get used to it, but when I found the one that fit my shape, it went from 'kind of funny feeling' to 'this is great' pretty quickly. My friend believes it's a matter of breaking in your butt as well, but I think fundamental shape incompatibilities need to be addressed. The stock seat on my Triumph motorcycle would start hurting after 25 miles - unacceptable. The King and Queen seat fixed that just fine.
