What’s the Problem?
A man walked into a therapist’s office looking very depressed. “Doc, you’ve got to help me. I can’t go on like this.”
“What’s the problem?” the doctor inquired.
“Well, I’m 35 years old, and I still have no luck with the ladies. No matter how hard I try, I just seem to scare them away.”
“My friend, this is not a serious problem. You just need to work on your self-esteem. Each morning, I want you to get up and run to the bathroom mirror. Tell yourself that you are a good person, a fun person, and an attractive person. But say it with real conviction! Within a week, you’ll have women buzzing all around you.”
The man seemed content with this advice and walked out of the office a bit excited. Three weeks later he returned with the same downtrodden expression on his face. “Didn’t my advice work for you?” asked the doctor.
“It worked, all right. For the past several weeks, I’ve enjoyed some of the best moments of my life with the most fabulous-looking women.
“So, what your problem?”
“I don’t have a problem,” the man replied, “but my wife does.”
