Dr. Phil has become known as some sort of relationship expert.  On occasion, I’ll watch him to explore what advice he’s got, but I thoroughly lost confidence in him on yesterday’s show.  First of all, he is apparently in a new partnership with Mr. Bachelor ER Doctor who is coming out with a new show later this year.  Forget that he chose neither girl in the final rose ceremony and he’s still single, so I’m not sure what advice he can give.  But he’s now written a book too…all about not being “That Girl”.  Nice job, Doc – criticize women, but don’t ever admit that there could be something wrong with men. 

So this one lady works too much and doesn’t go out.  She spends time with her friends, but seems pretty cut off from the dating world.  Did you ever think she does this because she’s seen what’s out there and completely fed up?  Of course not.  So they get on her about how she needs to not discuss work when she’s not at work.  She agrees, but then asks for advice from “the experts”.  She admits that she doesn’t want to go out to bars and clubs like she did when she was younger, so where is she supposed to meet men?  Amen, sister!  They all laugh awkwardly and Dr. Phil responds with a disheartening, “And we’ll be right back!” 

What kind of an expert are you??  Way to criticize, but not offer any suggestions on how to improve her situation.  You would even think Dr. Phil would take that opportunity to plug his crappy online dating site endorsement deal, but no, he’s got nothing.  I’m starting to believe that the only answer to that question is, “Well, if you were married by now, you wouldn’t have to worry about that!”  Thanks for nothing, Dr. Phil.
