Short monologue from a YouTube video advising against trying to change a partner (specifically men). The speaker argues people have limited "potential" using a student-grade analogy (F, C, B+), and most men in the speaker's examples are C or F—unlikely to reach the "A" someone hopes for. Tone is conversational and direct, aimed at women considering changing a man.

Raquel said, can you change a spiteful person? No. You can't change anyone, especially a man. So if you ladies, if you are trying to change a man. Right. I hear this a lot. Oh, my God. He's done, like, a couple things, right. He has potential. There are different kinds of potentials. Yeah. And this is what I want to offer to you. There are some guys that are just like. It's kind of like being a teacher. There are students that are F students. There are students that are C students, and there are students that are like, B plus students. So an F student will probably, at best, be at a C, which is average. A C student will probably be out of B. A B plus student can get to an A. Now, when you talk about potential, he's got to be a B. And you got to be really honest about how he's showing up in a relationship. Most of these guys are C's or F's. And you're thinking that he can get an A and he can't. This isn't Dangerous Minds, honey. You're not Michelle Pfeiffer.
This is not Lean on Me, Girl.
Oh, my gosh.
It's true. Someone said. He said. I love this analogy.
