Get the portanna la madonna mug.
The tendency of men to favor women who are sweet and innocent and chaste, but will then become (through instinct, not experience) bold and adept in the bedroom. The sufferer or possessor of the complex believes, or at least enjoys pretending, it is he alone who could transform the woman, so despite her whore-like behavior, she remains a madonna. He believes himself, therefore, god-like

Get the madonna-whore complex mug.
A shallow "man" who with an unnerving amount of Mommy complexes (because he was breast fed until he was 9!) finds a healthy,independent,intelligent and beautiful female and runs like the sorry ass bitch that he is. He intimates women by creeping on them because he knows that he is an insecure, loser man. Women who posess beauty, brains terrifies this weak man so he will enlist other weak men to call these women fat. This guy is equally scared of other men and will seek protection from other men by stating women are infatuated with him...which is so far from the case. Will be continued...
