(Original Air Date: 05/07/08) Ladies, listen up as Dr. Phil sheds light on men to avoid! You know the type: They can turn you off with their confidence, offend you with their arrogance and make you wonder if they actually hate women. He’s talking to men with out-of-control egos! John was dubbed The Worst Person in the World after sending what many would describe as a nasty, egotistical e-mail to a woman who rejected him on an Internet dating site. John admits he has a big ego but says he’s "all that and a bag of chips!" Don’t miss what happens when cameras follow John to a bar where he works his magic on the women! Then, meet Paul, a self-proclaimed Casanova who says men need to act more like cavemen. Paul says he’s proud of the fact that he’s slept with over 132 women and keeps a spreadsheet of his conquests. He says he’s so good at getting women into bed that he’s written a How To manual for men. Paul’s techniques are put to the test when he secretly coaches an introvert in a crowded club. Plus, one woman whom Paul couldn’t add to his spreadsheet joins him onstage. Where does she say he went wrong? Talk about the show here.

Find out what happened on the show.

07/22 Male Egos Out of Control

I don't understand why the women in the audience are upset with the men.  The men can only "play the game" if we women allow them.  The men are not the problem, the problem is that some women unfortunately have no self esteem and allow men to treat them badly. Parents of girls should start  at an early age teaching their daughters to  have self respect, and be strong women in their own right.  Having said that parents of boys should teach their sons to treat women with respect.  I have 2 boys 19 and 22 and have always taught them to respect all (girls) women as  they would their mother . My husband has also modelled this for them at home which I think is essential.

Egotistic Butts

These are the men that have ruined online dating totally!!  They are thinking they are all that and they are nothing!!  Women would rather have a fat old man with compassion then some idiot that has no compassion or is soooo full of themselves!!!    I have dated some of these and all they do is spend the whole date seeing what else is out there!!!  They are the scum of the Earth and like I said, have ruined the dating scene for everyone!!!

Mr Ego

I don't understand why Mr. Ego doesn't get it.  The woman was interested until he opened his mouth (by responding to her email).  Obviously she was no longer interested...who would be.

That made me laugh! Very good reply and probably very true!
Yepper! For every man, "niceguysydrom" included, who complains about being unable to find a "good" woman, there are probably two women complaining about being unable to find a "good" man.

Maybe it's the Women

I tuned in to the 'male ego' show today and can honestly say 'who cares'. If you thinks these men are pathetic and unworthy of attention ignore them. I think this show however spoke volumes about women today. Snarling manipulative beasts trampling out years of feminist progress, get over it, some people just suck that is no reason to make the rest of us look foolish. Really the 'worst man in the world'? Who ever coined that is pathetic, sad and sheltered. How about Hitler? How about child molesters? How about trusted authorities who abuse their power? Really, there are bigger fishes to fry in this world and the longer we stay focused on this petty notion of sexism, the longer our world will fail. If women want respect, earn it! Having a uterus or a husband isn't enough any more. Grow up, get tough and maybe you'll get taken seriously at the very least you'll have what it takes to fend off all the 'big bad' men.

07/22 Male Egos Out of Control

 I didn't read all the messages posted about this show, so I may have missed one that already dealt with this. While watching these men talk, I really got the creeps. Their behavior was so lacking in emotion, and their language was so calculating, they sounded exactly like serial killers. Especially when one man said, "I need to get her in a controlled situation where I have more control and things can escalate from there." That's exactly the way people like Jeffrey Dahmer described his choosing, isolating and then killing his victims. The scathing contempt that both of these men have for women, made me wonder what it would take to tip them over the edge into violence against a woman. What if they were alone with a woman who became angry or insulting. What then? Would their misogyny boil over into a violent rage?

I do agree with the people who wanted to place more responsibility on the women involved. In this day and age, I still can't believe that women will go off with strangers, or give phone numbers to men they don't know. But then I think about Ted Bundy: handsome, charming, educated, respectable. Women still think that predators look like creeps or monsters. And no woman ever thinks she will be the one found in a shallow grave.

Dumb Girl

Any girl who calls a guy she's dating at two in the morning and drunk to ask him if she can see him, is looking to get laid herself.  Just because it wasn't as romantic as she thought it should be, doesn't mean she wasn't going to do just that.  She's lucky he didn't get mad, he had a right to be.  Nobody just wants to "talk" at two am.  He may be pompous, but she's a tease.

Now i see why!!

After watching today, What a joke!! Somewhere along the way some lady really did a job on the boy from Ga. Guess thats why he's on the net!  "Can't score in real life!! I'm writing about guys like him in my new book, "Real men wear flip-flops"...I'm a 52 year old white male, I married for the 1st time at the age of 46,I don't see myself as great looking, or have a great body,  But I always seemed to date the pretties girl alone the way....I learned early in life if you want people to like you you need to forget about yourself and take an interest in them.  Sad to see, the boy with all the education, big time job, fancy car, is still where he has always been....all alone at the end of the day looking in the mirrow

07/22 Male Egos Out of Control

Quote From: jsinfp

Ok, we know...we know..as men we are not allowed to be sexual...(without paying for sex in some direct or indirect way). There  is such an obvious double standard here. It is seemingly perfectly ok for women to strategize and manipulate men in order to get them to marry them (ie; the book The Rules), but as soon as a guy has a strategy for getting sex he is demonized.

 

We know from evolutionary biology that with all mammals there is a conflict between males trying to pass their genes on (as effectively and strategically as possible ie; having sexual relations w/many different females), and females trying to keep males around so that their offspring have a better chance at survival. So big deal, this is nothing new. All mammals act this out in one form or another. It doesn't take the Dr. Phil show to shed light on something that every psychology professor already knows has been happening throughout all of time. That is of course unless you are uneducated and "shocked" by this new revelation.

 

So..what I understand from this show is that these "poor women" can't make up their own minds in the heat of the moment when deciding whether or not to become sexual w/ Paul. Give me a break. To me it is very demeaning (to women) to suggest that women aren't intelligent enough to make decisions for them themselves when they are being "seduced" by a man. It implies that the men in general will always be able to outsmart a women.

 

Also consider this,....These women dress sexual, go out to clubs w/the intention of meeting men, then get upset when a man is interested in what they are advertising. These women would NEVER be satisfied marrying the local manager of a K-Mart , with average looks, and a 30k a year salary. They want attention, and they want to meet "hot guys." If they think they are being taken advantageof then, STAY HOME! from the meat markets, or just tell him to buzz off. He isnt going to rape you on a public side-walk.

John, are you already defending your poor behavior!
