dyermaker Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 I admire Doctor Phil. Any fat man who can convince people to buy his book on dieting deserves the respect of a nation. Link to post Share on other sites

dyermaker Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 I've got nothing against fat people, I just don't think they should write books on not being fat. That's like the Pope writing a book on Atheism. Perhaps we should look up his BMI? Link to post Share on other sites
moimeme Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 Dr. Phil has some very good advice - sometimes. Like all humans, he can also be wrong. Link to post Share on other sites

UCFKevin Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 Dr. Phil IS fat and he's a moron. Link to post Share on other sites
moimeme Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 I don't think he's a moron. He has come out with some very good stuff, however he's too much into cognitive therapies, which are helpful for some, but not all, situations. He also seems woefully lacking in knowledge about adults with AD/HD and a few other things, but he's not all bad - nor all good. I think it's worthwhile to listen to him and take what's good from what he has to say. Link to post Share on other sites
CaterpillarGirl Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 I think he's a little chubby and I really want to know if he actually has a PhD or MD! Yes, the things he says are sometimes painfully obvious to us all (i.e. "If you and your wife don't stop fighting about this, you will end up getting divorced!"), sometimes people hear it from him and it's like "Duh, now I get it." Rather like LS. Sometimes you can't see the forest for the trees. Link to post Share on other sites
brashgal Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 I was convinced he was a lawyer. Still have trouble believing he is a therapist although I find him website interesting. No big revelations though. Link to post Share on other sites
moimeme Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 He got his PhD in psych in the 70s. His thesis was on gender issues. I don't think he has his Board certification for California - at least last I checked, he didn't. Link to post Share on other sites
dyermaker Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 How about Doctor Laura, is she a therapist? Speaking of hypocrisy, Laura, is it okay to star in porn, but not watch it? Link to post Share on other sites
HokeyReligions Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 Cut and paste to your browser after the ...http:// ...ww.drphil.com/advice/advice.jhtml?contentID=090302_relationships_Internetporn.xml@section=Relationships/Sex&subsection=Infidelity Hopefully this will work - or you can go into the Dr.Phil website and type "internet porn" in the search engine and it will return his article. I'm not commenting on the porn issue. There is no resolution that will satisfy everyone. I think it is interesting how many ways Dr. Phil can say "if you can't do it in front of your spouse/so, then don't do it" Link to post Share on other sites
UCFKevin Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 So if you can't go to the bathroom in front of your spouse/SO, you should hold it forever and ever? Link to post Share on other sites

feeling silly Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 Originally posted by Errol Whats the matter - never heard the old saying "those who can't do, teach" ? That's funny, as a matter of fact I've just heard that expression for the first time yesterday. Currently in school studying to be an English/Literature Teacher. "Thanks Mom for the sense of humor!" Anyway, I don't think Dr. Phil is fat either. I accually think he quite handsome. Internet porn though, I think is only bad if it becomes an obsession, involves children, replaces intimacy with a spouse, or displays sexual violence. Link to post Share on other sites
Cpunch75 Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 http://www.drphil.com/advice/advice.jhtml?contentId=090302_relationships_internetporn.xml§ion=Relationships/Sex&subsection=Infidelity Cited from the website: It is not OK behavior. It is a perverse and ridiculous intrusion into your relationship. It is an insult, it is disloyal and it is cheating. Viewing Internet pornography or engaging in cybersex is a short step to taking cheating to the next level. You need to tell your partner that viewing pornography is absolutely, unequivocally unacceptable in your relationship. Draw a line: Your partner needs to choose between the pornography or the relationship. Ask yourself or your partner: Link to post Share on other sites
Cpunch75 Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 I wonder what kind of a sex life Dr. Phil has..... Link to post Share on other sites
Fritz Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 Well, I can agree with him on cybersex but on just "internet porn" (depends on his definition I guess) no way. Link to post Share on other sites
Arabess Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 I doubt Dr Phil....right or wrong....will be much of a threat to the billion dollar porn industry! LOL! Link to post Share on other sites
jester Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 I checked out the "porn is detimental to my relationship" message board on Phil-boy's site. The messsages are almost all from pissed-off wives complaining about their husbands' porn and masturbation habits. Pretty brutal stuff. Lots of these wives believe they're in competition with porn and losing. The problem is that the wives watch Dr. Phil, while their husbands are jacking off to porn. What's a spouse to do?
