Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)

Remember! Accept no substitutes!  The Facebook seems to be trending to postings of life-outlooks that seem suspiciously familiar…. in a half roger, half scottian way. Which is as it must be, it being Facebook, (Facebook motto: ‘remember the last day of high school and how you went around trying to get everyone else to write something in your year book and even the people who would make fun of you would write something, and it wasn’t always bad‘), well, just be on the look out, ya know?

Hey  had something clever, (and a little cutting), to say about the way people think they understand the Doctrine and all the other kinds of self-improvement tools, but lets be more mature and positive than that, here’s a partial post partial reprint:

So a quick review of primary characteristics of clarks and scotts and rogers. (from 12/12/2013)

clarks: quiet, tend to mumble and are on the “brainy” side (not geeks, who tend to be rogers) but clarks are the ones who are living in their own heads. If you want to know about anything that normal people don’t have the time to learn about, clarks are the people you will go to… there is one in your life, close but you just haven’t noticed them. clarklike females will dress from the “androgyny fashion collection” mix and mix, especially shoes [special bonus 2015 insight: they treat the components of fashion as if it were their own private serial novel, “this is how I want you to see me now, but don’t be surprised if I change the premise entirely without warning,” gender identity for a female clark is as subject to their whims and decisions as everything else in a clark’s reality lol] … the clarklike males will be grey(with a splash of beige) and have virtually no eye contact when speaking to you, which if they do, will consist of strings of incomplete sentences.  [clarks are the ones who demonstrate the quality of aggressive self-effacement…lol]

scotts: never stop moving, never stop talking, never fuckin stop…sports fans to a person…your scott is the one who introduces themselves whether they are entering a situation where they are the stranger or there is a stranger entering the setting where the scott already is…when you move to a new place, the neighbor who comes to “welcome you to the neighborhood” that’s your scott…always helpful as long as “completing the task” is not the priority…scottian females…always attractive/seductive/commanding/demanding depending on the context, scottian males…always in charge…the person best described as “not always right but never uncertain…”

rogers: the most social and accommodating person you know, the roger is, in fact, most likely your family doctor, your family lawyer, your family accountant, emphasis on family…the person who knows the family history and insists that you come to the family reunion that’s your roger, the one who knows how many forks should be on which side of the plate…there’s your rogerian female…want to have a long conversation?…talk to a roger, they make it so easy to talk about yourself…the rogerian male will be well dressed and if you want to know if ascots and large briarwood pipes are still worn and/or smoked you will find the roger when you see either of them and if you want to imagine settling down and raising a family with a beautifully decorated home and be a member in all the right clubs and organisations…then a rogerian female will be near by.
