OMG!!!! I’ll bet that perfume smells like rotten eggs and fish!
Ew! With hints of desperation, rage, control, blame, and shame.
G’day from the Blue Mountains (Sydney region, Australia),
Not the true “scent of a woman’… even less so the scent of a true feminist.
Dr. T, I’ve been following your blog, and it rocks! I guess that a very interesting topic for discussion is that of females who get done by their cluster B friends, coworkers and associates. I know that you’re a shirink for men, but oftentimes you see females skinning other females simply to state their supremacy, and that includes the typical man-snatcher.
I see a woman like the one from the ad, and I feel like chucking a banana skin along her path for her to slip and fall…
Good one, Dr. T. Keep up with the good work!
Hello AussieLola,
And welcome to S4M. You make a very valid point. Abusive women, whatever their pathologies are, don’t just abuse the men in their lives. Everyone is fair game. Even their children.
Thanks for the kind words. It means a lot when other women add their voices of support here.
Kind Regards,
Dr T
Jack Daniels, cigarettes and freshly cashed support checks.
That indefinable smell!
Like a hot, sticky, humid Friday in the trailer park.
Heres a few of my own red flags for a laugh:
1: Blokes/kids names as tattoos (indeed any visible tattoo (esp stars (UK) – hand, neck etc)
2: Estranged father
3: When they go to the gym and exercise they think of “nothing”*
4: Multiple kids, multiple dads still present and paying! (obviously multiple kids, multiple absent dads could mean bad dads or, alternatively, daddy done figure!)
5: Accomplished trampolinist/gymnast (in their own heads)**
To be fair, I may now be insane 🙂
*they will tell you this if you ask. Ha!
**apologies to Olga Korbut and Nadia Comaneci (ask your dad – if your still in touch)
former gymnast here!
Attention wh@res, in general. Giant, pom-pom waving flag there! “Look at meeee!!!! Look at meeee!!!!”
Wearing a ton of perfume. Red flag, red door, Obsession, whatever. If I can taste it on the elevator, it’s “Red Flag”.
If I can taste it on the elevator, it’s “Red Flag”.
This is so true!
ozymandias, don’t apologise to Nadia Comaneci. She’s a man snatcher who took off with her best friend’s husband LOL
Some dads are complicated people in their own way, but when mums are complicated people, they can do untold damage that society at large is yet to fathom fully.
Love it! Thanks for the laugh, Dr. T 😀
You’re welcome!
Dr. T, not much real comedy comes out of SNL these days, but this one’s up there with some of their best. Thanks,
Agreed, blueshound. Although, usually anytime Alec Baldwin comes on the show, it ups their funny.
Great ad! Hilarious. Not in the same vein but there’s been another skit that SNL did recently that tackled gender roles that was hilarious. It was on Youtube but NBC pulled it- it’s a song called “Tell him” and all I could find was the lyrics here: http://smallscreenscoop.com/snl-tell-him-lyrics/318547/. Funny stuff.
Liberally applied around the cut marks on her forearms and wrists…RED FLAG!
ha ha – nice one David – thanks for the reminder.
Another personal one for me is she starts off just loving Nirvana but, over time, only ever watches MTV Base!
And another for UK residents – an unhealthy obsession with Come Dine With Me (hopeless reality TV show which, paradoxically, I’ve grown quite fond of. Oh oh!)
Oz….OMG, I am not going to be able to trust our admin officer ever again now you mention come dine with me!
How about she says that she has liberal politics but only reads the Daily Mail!
Had a date the other night and got to thinking about it the next day…decided to write a list of warning signs I picked up in conversation and observation.
Told me she “is quite capable of getting mad and hitting people”
Has three tatoos and wants one more
Inferred that I could buy her an auto car starter for christmas
Fake boobs and regular botox user
Proudly let me know her home has a “lived in” appearance (messy)
constantly checking/and or responding to text messages
proudly stated she does not exercise
Yaks about particular bar bands….she’s 58 years old. (me, I left that scene
back in the 80’s)
She’s very attractive/sexy….I see a pattern here ;(
I will not be seeing her again.
Run, Chester, run!
Actually, the first red flag re: hitting others is enough all on its own.
The biggest red flag ever is a woman with an unusual amount of male friends, or they make the comment that they can’t stand other women. Why does a woman need so many male friends? I call these men JICs (Just In Case). Women keep these men around just in case they suddenly find themselves single or they feel the need to sow their oats.
I know what you’re describing, SpedTFVA. These men seem to be placeholders.
The men are their “normalcy props” seeee I know I’m on my 3rd divorce but there ARE men who like meeeeee….
i’m so glad she said that at the end
The red flags are too numerous to count… spends the majority of her money on clothes and jewelry but won’t lift a cent to pay the gas bill… tends to her eBay “addiction” before the necessaries… raises her daughter to have the “world owes me a living” attitude while making sure the stepfather goes out of his way to do nothing to prove her wrong…
