A flake is a person of weak character. When the going gets tough, they can't handle it and give up. They tend to be the end product of
parents that spoiled them rotten. Many upper middle class
kids who had
parents that gave them cars, toys, nice clothes and did not make them work as teenagers turn out to be useless flakes that have no concept of how to get by in the real world. Flakes tend to let their emotions get the best of them. You can tell right away if a
girl is a flake because as soon as she gets dumped by her boyfriend, she is crying and sobbing to her best friends over a cell phone. Flakes are not reliable when it comes to following through on their commitments. They are used to having it easy so when they fail, they break down and blame their weakness on their friends. Flaky
parents don't have the balls to discipline their
kids so their
kids turn out to be useless spoiled brats that couldn't change a flat tire to save their lives and waste their time on facebook, texting and shopping. Although flaky women tend to be very attractive, they are incredibly boring to be with because all they do is watch
MTV and follow the latest scandals of Hollywood.
