People who say, "I'm not good enough for you." Seriously, what the fuck?! I think it's better if you just go ahead and tell the other person that they are not good enough for you. I mean that's what most of you who say that ugly manipulative phrase are really trying to say anyway right? Just say, "You are just not good enough for me." It's a simple matter of switching a couple of pronouns. Even if you're trying to be nice about it, don't tell someone, "I'm not good enough for you" because by saying that, you're telling someone you know what's best for them when apparently they don't even know what's best for them. Now how do you know that? How can anyone say "I'm not good enough for you"? It's condescending is what that phrase is. Usually when "I'm not good enough for you" is said, the "you" thinks all the world about the suddenly "not good enough" person. You know what that does to a person? It fucks 'em up, is what that does. Another thing, by saying, "I'm not good enough for you," you're putting yourself down and that takes away some of the pleasure of "me" putting "you" down. Hell, it sometimes leads to the person saying how good the person who just rejected them is and that's just perverse and so wrong in a Michael Jackson likes little boys in his bed sorta way. So when you're rejeting someone, don't you dare say, "I'm not good enough for you."

I guess what I'm trying to say is that if you're going to reject someone just be honest about it and don't try to be nice because lying or even trying to be nice about it just makes it all the more worse.
