That feckin' Marilyn Monroe quote

    Been meaning to rant about this for ages.

    I am SO sick of seeing that Marilyn Monroe quote (you know the one) on people's (well, women's) FB pages. It just makes me want to facepalm on behalf of my entire gender. There are some people who I'm not surprised have it on their page but others have disappointed me by putting it on theirs. I thought they were cooler than that. :(

    Basically what that quote is saying is "Allow me to be a complete bitch or I will withold sex from you" or something. :D

    EDIT: here is the quote
    I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.

    You've seen the quote multiple times but you won't even tell us what it is?

    Give us the quote, not the summary

    Have to confess I have no clue what you mean either... :o

    I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?

    It's obviously this one, I don't see what all the fuss is about OP.

    These are the two Monroe quotes I see all over the shop-dunno if you're referring to either...but yeah,a lot of girls I know have them on their facebooks. But sure why not? I've a quote from Almost Famous on mine-each to their own!

    Have to agree with the OP, you normally see it on fb pages of people who have been recently dumped.

    dont agree with quoting anyone tbh. but then i don't idolise anybody either.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,279 ✭✭✭Lady Chuckles


    Don't see anything wrong with that quote... Sometimes it's nice to remind yourself that you don't always have to be perfect and that you deserve to be loved anyway. I heard that quote for the first time yesterday and it helped me feel a little bit better about myself ;)

    *runs to post it on Facebook* :D

    I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. I need to address these issues, as this immature behaviour is likely to impact negatively on those closest to me.

    Finished your post.

    Yeah, always get a mild chuckle at the sheer amount of hairdressers in their 30's living alone with a cat or two who reckon they can compare themselves to Marilyn Monroe...

    I'm self-centered, moody and bad-tempered, am always fcuking things up but not bothered to address this and am not interested in trying to get on with Girls. But if you're not ar$ed dealing with my shít attitude then you don't deserve me when I occasionally am not a Fcukhead.

    They'd be far better off standing on some street corner with a skirt blowing around their ears...then we'll see how they really compare...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,299 ✭✭✭✭later12


    Oh yeah, that one's pretty bad, the other one it sometimes accompanies is "good girls go to heaven, bad girls go everywhere".

    Where, like the docks?I think it's a song title but is often attributed to Rita Hayworth or someone like that.

    Aren't women FUNNY!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,461 ✭✭✭--Kaiser--


    Honestly, I'd say a lot of guys would put up with some amount of sh1te from someone who looked like Marilyn Monroe....for a while at least


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 559 ✭✭✭Miss Olenska


    To the people continuing to thank the second post, I've included the quote in the OP now.

    Unless of course you just think my OP is shíte, in which case carry on! :D

    Don't fret about it, it's the natural order of things that the second and subsequent posts will be thanked more than your OP. It's like the way Christmas comes after Easter, or my birthday comes after Summer.

    Don't worry. One day you'll understand.

    Re-post it in 0-20 years when they are a middle aged spinster due to thinking they should embrace their personality weaknesses rather than work to improve on them.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 206 ✭✭Mr_Hat


    Is it a real quote or is it something that someone made up posted on the intertubes and attributed it to her. I have ONLY EVER seen these quote on Facebook pages. Anyone that has its is generally a opiniated ****tard/bitch with a overinflated ego and feeling of self worth or a hairdresser.

    Everyone seems to hate the first quote, so I doubt anyone would like the second one either.

    I couldn't give two hoots if somebody had the Marilyn Monroe quote (never heard of it until this thread by the way, so now it's spread to even more quarters!) up in their status. Whatever floats their boat. Out of interest, why are those who give out about facebook statuses friends with those people in the first place? Surely it's a bad reflection on you that you're friends with someone who irritates the hell out of you?:confused:

    Like you it's hard to know when it comes to the internets age. I read a good quote by Abraham Lincoln which sums it up well: don't believe everything you read on trhe internet

    its usually the girls that let fellas treat them like dirt that have it up on their facebook

    I would bet my life savings that you probably had that quote up numerous times.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,207 ✭✭✭The King of Moo


    Ooh, I hate that quote. I'm not usually a big fan of putting quotes on facebook anyway. Say something yourself!

    Most of the women I've seen do it are annoying and obviously very insecure (they wouldn't generally be the best-looking gals), and are trying to turn the faults they've identified in themselves (moody, psychotic, thick) into plusses. And also to place the blame for being single (which they see as a fate worse than death) onto the men who apparently aren't good enough to deserve to put up with them, rather than blame themselves for being annoying twits.

    I think I'll put up my own on facebook, as someone already did here. Just to show them how stupid they're being, and not because this has anything to do with my own life or opinions. Ahem..
    Yeah, I piss in the shower, play computer games instead of listening to you tell me about your feelings, don't do any housework and quietly masturbate while thinking of your best friend after you've fallen asleep, but if you can't handle me at my worst, you don't deserve me at my best (ie. waiting till you're not around to masturbate).

    But seriously, it's so divisive and confrontational, and seems to be quoted by the small (hopefully) number of women who have a completely one-sided view of relationships and think that the women should have complete control and liberty to be as demanding and crazy as they want, as their male partners are too stupid to do otherwise, owing to the fact that they've developed their entire conception of feminist theory from Boots ads.

    They give most normal women a bad name. Can't we all just get along?

    Oh this is weird I only heard of that quote a few days ago(yes from a female friend) but now I see it everywhere? Whats the deal? If its a real quote it should have been around for years but the past 4 days its been EVERYWHERE!!! And it is it's an excuse for acting like a bitch! Last time I checked people dont like bitches.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,075 ✭✭✭Wattle


    Anybody remember a nursery rhyme that went something like 'Girls are made of sugar and spice and all things nice' while boys are made of 'snakes and snails and puppy dogtails'

    What deranged feminist bint came up with that? Disgraceful.

    As I said only the other day on another forum hereabouts, any woman who uses that Monroe quote is usually* to be avoided like the very plague. Nearly* always a drama queen who uses this as an explanation/excuse.

    Basic translation being, "I'm a high octane nutjob who refuses to take responsibility for my emotional state, but hey you have to take that so you get to have me at my "best" when I'm being somewhat normal. Oh I have breasts you know, so that makes it OK". Monroe being a classic example of the breed. Christ she really came across as a major headwreck. I'll take normal thanks luv. There's enough of them out there.

    The older version of that were the ladies who liked that "I'm a bitch" song. Remember that one? No, you're not a bitch, you're an emotionally unstable neurotic idiot.

    Anyone woman or man that revels in, nay celebrates their neurosis's should be avoided like the fcuking plague.



    *I'll add usually and Nearly for fairness an all.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.
