(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.

MALE EGOS BY a-----

 Are girls crazy these days???   What is wrong with these girls who give these creeps their numbers within minutes of meeting him.   What if he is a serial killer or rapist?   I cannot believe girls and women just  fall into the arms of any man who pays them attention.  These guys weren't  even handsome.  
And they aren't the only ones taking a chance.   He could meet a serial killer too and maybe that would be a good thing!!!   But really, come on ladies, let's have a little self respect.

a true woman??

Quote From: rachel_rose

"A true man does not need to romance a different girl every night, a true man romances the same girl for the rest of her life."
 strange as it might be, i think these guys are telling the truth. i am a giving, caring, and all out gentleman towards woman BUT... i am not overly attractive, so women tend to look away. i have noticed that sexy women tend to flock towards men that treat them like trash. they sit there and laugh at these guys, yet i would guess there will be a few who will be interested in these guys. its not just the men...

Thank you, John!

Regarding "Male Egos Out of Control"... Please know that as a happily married, heterosexual male, I can proudly say that the neanderthals profiled in your show do a great job to make the rest of the men on this planet look REAL good to the ladies. Thank you! :)

 

Your first guest, John, absolutely takes the cake. First off, with an ego his size, I'm surprised his swollen head could get through the door and into your studios.

 

Regarding the "dinner with the Secretary of Defense", he should know that the "nuclear football" is carried by a senior officer in active duty in the United States Armed Forces - not the SecDef.

 

When I was single & in college, I loved hanging out with guys like John. Their "open mouth, insert foot" mentality made the rest of us normal men look good.

 

He's 41 (oh yes, that's right, he lied about his age. How original!), and is still single. Small wonder, there.

As a man who has been happily married for 14 years, and the father of two great kids, I can honestly say that he will probably die old, bitter and single.

OBNOXIOUS!!

Unbelievable!  I have just one word for these men...OBNOXIOUS!  NO WONDER they are single!  I'm a 54 year old woman and I wouldn't look across the street at them, so heres one you can't get!

 

Let me let you in on something guys, just because you might have some looks or good paying job, higher education, nice threads, etc., does NOT mean you are God's gift to women!  As a matter of fact, looks are NOT what make the man attractive to women...yeah...that's right...imagine that!  What makes a man attractive has very little to do with looks, statis, car, job, education or what you wear and more to do with how you TREAT a lady.  I bet if Dr. Phil did a test and had a less than average guy come up to those young ladies treat them with respect and give attention to them he would be in like Flynn unlike your approach, obnoxious and pompas.   No wonder you are 41 John and still seeking.  Bragging isn't attractive to anyone.  Embellishing the truth is even less attractive.  A REAL man doesn't have to brag...women see what he has.   Paul, you are beyond help.  What is with the spread sheet?  Finding the right woman isn't just about keeping charts and grafts on the sex you have.  Does the word RELATIONSHIP mean anything to you??  Women are NOT into the caveman mentality, as you put it.  You might appear attractive to start with but when you open your mouth it's allllll over! 

 

I predict you both will be single for a long long time.

Dr. Phil, where were you?

Dear Doc:

 

With all due respect, and I mean that, I was surprised that you were so easy on such bad behavior.  What I like about you is your ability to "tell it like it is". This level of misogyny certainly needed that.  I teach gender courses in Sociology, so I talk about  this issue with my students frequently.  Even when they admit that they are players, they learn something about respecting others and themselves by the end of the course. I wish something had been said that made these men think deeply about their destructive behaviors both personally and socially. 

 

About them.  Consent may be a criterion in your winning women, but you arrive there in such disingenuous ways that one could hardly consider it worthy of physical intimacy.  If you must manipulate to get the attention you desire, there is a clear disconnect occurring on some level.  That is what needs attention.  (Dr. Phil, I am so surprised that you did not take them on at this point. )

 

Dr., do you plan on challenging men who are players with misogynistic tendencies?  This seems to be a socially resurgent problem in our society today. Trends in sexuality are hitting new levels of destructiveness. Hooking up has taken on new meaning, and it needs to be explored.  How do these sexual behaviors peal us away from ourselves as well as socially within our communities?

 

Step back up to the plate Doc.  I'm rooting for you to  the "big" voice because I don't think these men would listen to most women as you know misogynistic men do not.

Possibly not a Mensa Member

I am a female over age 60 and a Mensa member for many years. As so I have access to the Mensa member directory. There is no John Fitzgerald in Georgia Mensa. There was one listed in another state, so It could be him. No further info however. So that may be as big a lie as his age. Or maybe they use fake names on the show.

Sad to say (and I can say this because I am a member) many Mensans have an over-inflated ego. Sometimes it is because they were treated as misfits and nerds while growing up and have finally found a place where they are accepted; sometimes because they actually do believe they are superior to the lower 97 percent of the populace; and many other reasons. He exhibits the worst aspects of Mensa, in my opinion.

It is their choice

I don't think these guys are the only ones in bed (or the back of a cab). The women they

get play a pretty big role in this game. Why don't you all get off these mens back for this and

teach your daughters to have a little respect for themselves and maybe this would stop. If they

were drugging or raping these women then I have a problem, but they are not, they are seducing

them. To bad women no longer have the self esteem to say NO. Or even the brains to realize how

dangerous it is to go to someones apartment they just met. Hey ladies get a clue.

Why? Why entertain these creeps?

It is as though you think this behavior is just so cute or something.  A man of your intelligence and stature suggesting "he's just young and running a game while he's loose", as if there is nothing wrong with this behavior.  I doubt you would find it "just a game while she's loose" if it were women you had up there. Hard to believe you can't see how this adds to the overall disrespect and abuse of the woman half of our species.  Very disappointing.  Bad enough how far we have NOT come in terms of boys and men being conditioned to respect their counterparts as actual human beings and not conquests, maids, perpetual mommies, sexual objects, insignificant, etc., etc.       Actually, your statement of whether or not he has a sexual addiction (and I must say I have a hard time dredging up any "sympathy") or playing a game cuz he's young and he can.  Deception is wrong no matter what, treating people like objects is wrong, no matter what.  Very disappointing.
