Texas CS Dept., Austin, Texas Lines: 16 The pedestal syndrome is not limited to men. Women do it too. The common feeling is expressed by Groucho Marx: "I would never want to belong to a club that would have someone like me for a member." Unfortunately, that attitude is pretty self-defeating, and the only hope is to strike a nice balance between a healthy appreciation of your good qualities, which you can bring to the relationship and which your SO may not necessarily have, and a humble sense of where you need to improve (where your SO might help you).
