579. The Rotten Apple Metaphor
Apples can rot inside and remain perfect on the outside. They look and smell very appetizing and appealing to bite into them. But the first bite into the invisible rot causes to puke and to spit.

Putting the apple on display with the bite on the hidden back side, the apple continues to appear appealing to the senses in spite of the cognitive knowledge of the eating experience. It is the classical case of an appetence-aversion conflict, which is best solved by discarding the apple from the vision.
There are men like this. They appear perfect, when it comes to similarities in values, hobbies, interests, attitudes and tastes. They radiate pseudo-propinquity. But as soon as a woman gets involved, she gets harmed. It is her moment of truth, of experiencing the rotten jerk inside, who hurts and disgusts her with abuse, domination and commodification.
As soon as she distances herself out of the reach of immediate harm, he continues to appear as appealing as before due to the same attributes, but she is cognitively cured by her knowledge of what she experiences by getting near him. Such a man also brings a woman into an appetence-aversion conflict, which is best solved by severing all connections.
There is just one difference. The rotten apple mercifully destroys itself by rotting entirely and no second person is tempted to have a bite. Those rotten jerks continue to harm women. Whatever harm they do to them has no impact upon the jerks themselves, whose misleading appearance as nice guys does not get damaged.
