Help with Relationship Problems... courtesy of the Wakefield Doctrine

The Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers) is one of the most useful guides to relationship questions of any sort; from "is this person right for me"? to "why are they acting this way, I thought we were in love" all the way out the other side to "my god! what happened to us"?

Before we answer these questions, a quick 'primer' for those new to the Doctrine:

• all people have the potential to be anyone of the three 'types'
• it is the preponderance of characteristics that make us, clarks or scotts or rogers
• each 'personality type' is simply a label for the characteristic way of interacting with the world, it is the way that we perceive the world that is important, not a list of actions and behaviors
• no one is ever purely one type (over the other two), but very few people are able to imagine the world that the other two are experiencing
• the Doctrine is 'gender-neutral'
• the Doctrine is 'culture-neutral'
• each of the three (clarks, scotts and rogers) have positive aspects and negative qualities, none is better than the others

Let's start with the first "question": you have met someone and there seems to be a definite mutual interest between you and the other person, how can you predict what a relationship will be like with that person.

(As with everything that is useful about the Doctrine, you need to know which of the three you are, for our purposes here we will assume that you know what you are and it is the interaction between the types that you really need to know.)

So, girls first.

scottian woman/clarklike male hey, you will like this...he will be so grateful and will give you that which you want more than anything else...(sorry, that answer is another hub)

scottian woman/ rogerian male good prospects as long as neither one let their (respective) appetites get out of control...obvious with the scottian woman, not-so-obvious with the guy (hint: Bill and Hilary Clinton)

scottian woman/ scottian male what are you kidding?! why don't you just get in your car, get on the highway, put a blindfold on and go as fast as you can...or go out with a scott! either way, exciting times ahead

rogerian female/ clarklike guy  you're in luck! it will take years for him to get tired of your insistance on sharing the suffering

rogerian female/ scottian guy yeah, well you will feel like you are the luckiest woman in the world (along with the 2 or 3 other women you probably don't know about)

rogerian female/ rogerian guy can you say drama? (I knew you could) But hey, if you don't mind your 'other half' stealing your hats!!

clarklike girl/ scottian dude actually not a bad prognosis...high energy...high excitement (don't let your normal friends get too far away, you'll need them)

clarklike girl/rogerian guy since you seemed determined to do this, why not...you have never really expected much from life anyway...besides, actually getting married, like real people is so over-rated.

clarklike girl/clarklike fellow   Major Tom, yo...you will make an interesting couple...and there's always the roller coaster at the nearest amusement park when you want to feel...whats that word...something about...the better part of life...excision...no...Excitement yeah that word!
