If you CANT handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell DONT deserve me at my BeST!

Don't you hate this quote, /lit/, what does it even mean? Just sums up women's narcissism right. Makes me rage that women think this way and somehow still get laid, and I'm on /lit/ right now, penis flaccid.

>> No.3742497

This isn't narcissism; it's ego-defense. they're insecure. Reassure them. pretend you aren't really interested in them, but that you appreciate how hot they are. They'll fell better, and you're closer to getting laid.

It's like saying 'I can be a bitch and moody and you should take it because my best is amazing.'

They feel as though they are unworthy of affection, because they are often moody and contrary. They try to reinforce their egos with the idea that their good behavior at other times balances this out. It's a rationale. Like saying, "yeah, maybe my free throws suck, but you can't beat me at the rim"

I don't overly mind the quote itself. If someone is unwilling to put effort into a relationship to make it work, of course they don't deserve it (though the other party may not be any better). The problem is that it seems to be used to justify being a nasty person and not putting in any effort yourself.

This is why it grates with me. Imagine saying to a QT 'I can be an asshole and a psycho, but if you can't handle that, you don't deserve me at my best.'.

It bothers me that it's ridiculous coming from a guy but perfectly acceptable from a woman.

You for the "“I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle."

It's just easy to read confident aggression into somthing that's more likely to be defense of a percieved vulnerability. Especially when that's what it's designed to broadcast. But ask yourself why a condfident, aggressive woman would feel the need to comment at all, let alone in this snide manner? It's like the troll threads wherer a guy says "Im so superior to you intellectually i don't even need to comment on your cretinous tripe." It's protesting too much, andLike the troll thing, it invites the question of why not show, instead of telling? A truly confident woman wouldn't need to point that stuff out, even if she did feel it.

Well the idea behind it is true. That for relationships to work you need to be able to handle or at least put up with the worst of the other person.

Problem is people use it as an excuse to get away with shit. Part of relationships is being able to tell the other person to shut up or grow up.

"While Eliot only briefly mentions the peach in this poem, it has come to be one of the most critically contested images, in terms of deciphering its meaning. In his book, Ascending the Prufrockian Stair, Robert Fleissner dedicates an entire chapter to offering various interpretations of "Prufrock's Peach." Firstly, he considers the idea that the peach, in this context, could be a reference to the Forbidden Fruit of the biblical Creation story. With this interpretation, Prufrock must choose between knowledge and immortality. This struggle fits in closely with Prufrock's constant grappling with his own mortality. In Prufrock's eyes, he has already eaten the biblical fruit and must now heed the consequences: a burdensome awareness of the world around him and his own approaching death."

Peaches are symbols for vaginas, have you even seen a peach let alone a vagina?

>peaches aren't biblical, apples are
There's nothing about peaches or apples in the bible. The fruit of the knowledge of good and evil is never named other than that.

I always interpreted "Do I dare to eat a peach?" as him just being a prissy fuck who was too scared to do anything. It doesn't need to be a metaphor, the curtains are blue and Aeneas was just angry.

that's the opener and theme of the thread. is not about literature, just a window for OP to vent his frustration in a selfish manner and not having the decency to admit this has nothing to do with literature other than him being "on /lit/ right now, penis flaccid."
