The extinguisher guy is saving the candle's life by extinguishing the fire that would melt her. On the other hand, Match guy would burn the candle down.

Be warned here comes absolutely overthinking- This is a repost but I can bring my argument again: if the extinguisher 💦 over the candle she will use her flame. The flame, although it kills her, is also the meaning of her existence. What is a endless life without meaning? The matches guy can ignite her multiple times whenever she loses her flame and together they walk towards the end of existence. Also as soon as the extinguisher put the fire out he can’t do it again with the candle and in search of his own meaning will move forward. He will wander restless because every time he found what he was meant to be for, he himself will change the situation so that he is never needed nor has reason to be there. He will forever search till he is also empty and seize to exist.

I associate motor cycles with danger, I thought the angle that if her candle goes out it’d represent death so hanging out with an extinguisher was an exciting and dangerous thrill similar to motor cycles. However I like your understanding better and think it’s true, if she burns longer she shrinks and that is not good.

if match guy would get up and talk to candle girl instead of sitting and moping, maybe he wouldnt feel the need to sit and mope all the time. The only reason fire extinguisher guy is getting anywhere is because hes actually trying.

It's possible that match guy has heard candles talking about how they don't like to be approached in public so he listened, but fire extinguisher guy doesn't care about the way candles feel so he's the only one who will make a move and it will work regardless of what candles said they wanted
I mean this whole thing is fucking stupid but you could project literally anything you want onto this extremely vague bullshit metaphor scenario

“I don’t like being approached in public” typically refers to random guys you don’t know hitting on you and shit. Not people actually trying to talk to and get to know you.

For some people, but you can't know who those people are prior to speaking to them, at which point it's too late because you've already made them uncomfortable.
Which, whatever, not on women to care really. It's just the reality of the situation people leave out when they discuss this. You'll pretend like this isn't true though and that's fine, I expect people to be incapable of understanding that a situation can be kind of sucky without concluding that the person acknowledging it is blaming women for it.

But wouldn’t the matchbox die once it ran out of matches? Can the matchbox guy live without matches? I’m thinking about this too hard

Match guy pretends to care about candles but actually gets hard thinking about burning her and listening to her screams, whereas extinguisher man more earnestly believes he cares about candles but will spend all his time blowing white shit on her head and then telling her that her only value lies in her adherance to the trad wife lifestyle, and he'll steadfastly refuse to reflect on the hypocrisy inherent in this behavior
Candles would be happier with another candle but she has sexual needs and is only turned on by guys whose heads contain wooden sticks or flame retardants
In a few days they'll all be killed in a school shooting and the media will ignore it in favor of a story about a wealthy spatula's affair with a toucan

It might be OC, it might not. Things such as JPEG artifacts and cropping may impact the results.
