Quote From: canada_hereI could name a few...
How about the "Mama's boy"? Many women have met several of them during their dating lives.
Then there's "Peter Pan" (the little boy who reufses to grow up). We all know some of these, too.
And of course there's always "the Playboy". We are all familiar with his needs.
I think it's important to note that women aren't the only ones who can be labelled. Maybe it's more appropriate to ask what function these labels serve, outside of a clincial context.
How do these descriptons help the people who are being labelled, to have richer, fuller lives?
Simply put: they don't.
Perhaps we ought to be asking what the individual assigning the label is getting out of it. There has to be a payoff in it for someone because, like stereotypes, labeling persists.
Perhaps those who are quick to judge ought to examine their need to do so BEFORE pointing a finger at others.
Another type which I named is "INSTANT POTATO man" .. This type is a guy wants everything to happen ASAP including jumping in the sack. Not allowing time to get to know the woman.
Yes, Dr Phil, men are visual.. and most only want that barbie doll type of gal. Why do you think there are so many women of all ages who starve themselves to meet up to a guys imagination of how a woman should look. Talk about building up a womans self esteme. Doesn't happen.
What happened to dating? Learning each other while having fun. I believe that a relationship doesn't have to be a job.. You should be able to flow with each other. Enjoying those special times while each of them are learning about each other. I look and want my best friend" and dont want to settle for anything less. I have learned I don't have to play those silly games.
