Classic psychological steps about a narcissic / selfish centered on themselves manipulators:Originally Posted by GSIV Rogue
First he denied and shielded himself with his coolness / attitude (your problem, not his).
Then he acts as if he understand and will ADAPT on others (thus giving us a favor, further creating domination or enhance his "coolness").
Seeing we call his bullshit, next step is acting like others: attacking cause he'll feel cornered and threaten.
But be sure, GS4 Rogue will try to shrug it off.
He's a couple of days away from a meltdown/rage quitting with a lot of noise

- Tabor had a pond in his yard that was shaped like a giant cock & balls. You should know this, being that you're Tabor and all.
- Calling you out your retardedness and narcissism and then you being butthurt over no one being impressed by your Frank Gallagher torso is exactly what it is and literally nothing else. Stop your wishful thinking and gay projections. The only person on here you're impressing is yourself. If you look back, you'll probably notice that no one was roasting you until you started acting like a stick of twatbutter.
- You're currently entertainment for while I'm bored at work.

“I can’t imagine anything worse than trying to impress a girl with dinner. To be honest, I’m always impressing myself, not other people.” ~ Marco Pierre White (Youngest Ever 3 Star Michelin Chef)

Didn't Marco lose a star then turn them all in and now actively refuses to allow Michelin inspectors into his restaurants?

No, he grew up (never lost a Star - just retired from his career as a chef and gave them back):
"I was being judged by people who had less knowledge than me, so what was it truly worth? I gave Michelin inspectors too much respect, and I belittled myself. I had three options: I could be a prisoner of my world and continue to work six days a week, I could live a lie and charge high prices and not be behind the stove or I could give my stars back, spend time with my children and re-invent myself."
~ Marco Pierre White
To my knowledge, he now still lends his name to chain casual dining style pubs and restaurants in the UK - occasionally appearing on TV. I think he refuses to eat in Michelin Star restaurants because he believes they sacrifice food quality for pretentiousness and presentation, among other things.

His priorities are strange.

Working as a chef in a high level restaurant (or anywhere) is extremely demanding - both physically and mentally.
Once a restaurant starts to win awards (Michelin or James Beard are the big ones) - it just gets worse. Whatever fun, passion, creativity, etc. you had for the job begins to wither away because the demand is constantly there just to win awards and get good reviews. People are afraid to change menus because they will lose a star, are constantly looking out for big review parties (Yelp), Michelin / Beard inspectors, etc. A lot of places have open kitchens where guests will stand over you and watch every detail of what you're doing while you work. Several big name chefs have committed suicide over losing a Star because they begin to associate so much of their identity with it.
I think that Marco finally realized that he was cooking to impress people who had only been inside a restaurant to order a meal - much less actually worked in a kitchen of any caliber before. He was stressed out, working close to 100 hours a week, and his personal relationships and health were suffering. He finally realized that all the money and fame in the world couldn't make up for time - and that had done all he needed to do to "impress himself" with his career.
