I think it had something to do with this book he wrote:

his son goes to my school... what a douche.

 

[Howard]

<Dr. Phil> Men suck. It's totally not your fault, girlfriend.

 

[thomsbrain]

because the real psychology field can pretty much universally agree (and they NEVER agree on anything) that Dr. Phil talks out of his ass and has little chance of ever helping anyone.

Say what you will about him, he is very good at one thing - marketing himself.

 

[Mucho]

Not quite sure why, my girlfriend watches his show that makem me nauseous

 

[Zedtom]

He reminds me of a guidance counselor at my high school. He would always come up and put his arm around your shoulder and act like he was your best bud. Years later I found out he was gay.

This is common sense you are talking about. It is in short supply for some people.

I generally refer to him as Dr. Obvious.

Once he made friends with Oprah, he was in.

Dr. Phil = Douche

 

[DaShen]

He just tells people (namely his target audience of females in there late 30s and 40s) what they want to hear. He doesn't really help anyone; he just says trivial things that play off of their emotions without really resolving any issues. He isn't a real clinical therapist of any type, his title of 'Doctor' comes from a PHD that is irrelevant to anything dealing with therapy. He doesn't make sense half the time, but his 'saying' still play off of his target audience's emotions, so he is successful, but he doesn't deserve to be. And the people on his show tend to have major issues he doesn't realyl resolve, but since it plays off of the target audiences emotions to have a battered kid on the show, he does well in ratings. :thumbsdown:

People typically do not like him because some think he's a hypocrite. He gives advice on relationships and marriage, yet he's been divorced and remarried himself.

Ding ding ding

that and the fact that he hates men

Yep he is just another clever guy that is making a mint off of the people that buy into the self help flavor of the moment club.
