SOS (Shiny Object Syndrome)

A condition which causes an inability to focus on any particular person while online dating. SOS (Shiny Object Syndrome) generally occurs in the early stages between initial contact and meeting for coffee. Signs of onset include: a) habitual perusing of profiles b) a desire to maintain prior conversations and c) enticement with new inbox messages. In severe cases, lack of sleep is commonly noted. Unfortunately, sufferers of SOS become nearly incapacitated at meeting another person.
Shelby: I started conversing with Jerome online, our messages were engaging, and all seemed to be going well, then suddenly he simply disengaged. I just don't understand it.
Tara: This sounds like a classic case of SOS, Shelby, and he's suffering from exposure to SOS (Shiny Object Syndrome), which has incapacitated him.
Shelby: What shall I do?
Tara: Unfortunately, there is no known cure for SOS, which leaves you to search new profiles and email enticing messages.

Anna Nicole Smith Syndrome

Unable to resist the temptation of money. See Gold Digger

To put money $$$ over love and happiness. See Anna Nicole Smith.

Always working to make money and never having any time to live and be happy.

Anna Nicole Smith Syndrome is a serious condition which affects a lot of people who are unable to live full lives, because money over powers love at every turn. See Asians. In a sense Anna Nicole Smith Syndrome is only being able to make decisions that evolve around money and not the heart i.e. asking for proof of income on first date and financial references to cross check after date.

That patient will develop a serious condition that will psychologically push them away from love to try and find someone who is better able to accommodate them financially, even if it means living unhappy with someone who is obviously not compatible i.e. age gap, culture clashes, language barriers, nothing in common etc. See arranged marriages or Mail Order Brides or Russian Brides.

Patients may have developed a strong influence for a father or maternal influence to keep them protected. In a sense the patient may be suffering from being sheltered all their lives and never having the confidence to take risks for love.

Or the patient might be suffering Hollywood Slut Syndrome where they do not care who they step on, how they get there, as long as they get what they want!
"Are you kidding?" "Lei-Lei has Anna Nicole Smith Syndrome!" "She only dates men who are successful graduates who come from money!" "Well little does that asian-ho know that the men who are fucking her have Anna Nicole Smith Syndrome and only marry women who come from money."

Candy: Hi Glenn
Glenn: Hi Bitch
Candy: Did you hear?
Glenn: No... what?
Candy: Well as you know I'm not one to spred idol gossip in class.
Glenn: No Candy you usually spred something else during lunch break!
Candy: Grrr! Well anyway Rebab is said to be going into an arranged marriage!
Glenn: And to think... I didn't even think they could give her away. (laugh}
Candy: It sounds like both her parents are suffering from Anna Nicole Smith Syndrome.
Glenn: Well if I were her husband to be I would be asking for a refund on the wedding night!

In the 1997 movie, 'Washington Square', Catherine Sloper (Jennifer Jason Leigh) an average, awkward type of girl from a prominent wealthy family is persuaded by the very handsome, persuasively romantic Mr. Morris Townsend (Ben Chaplin) who is gossiped to be poor and gossipers say only interested in Catherine for her wealth to engage. It could be said that Mr. Townsend was suffering from Anna Nicole Smith Syndrome if indeed true? A very powerful and sad movie (have tissues handy), with a very surprising ending that shows how far some people will go who are suffering from Anna Nicole Smith Syndrome. But who has the syndrome? The father? The daughter? The aunt? Or Mr. Townsend?

nice white lady syndrome

This is a complicated disorder which can only effect nice white ladies, often in the educational or social justice fields of employment, or through church based organizations.

The most recognizable symptoms include having an earnest and idealistic eagerness to help the more marginalized members of a society, such as persons of color, or the homeless. This can manifest itself through things like bake sales and canned food drives, although occasionally, more touchstone examples (such as that of a teacher assuming the role of mentor and parent) can be observed.

Nice White Ladies (or, NWL's) know that they are just that, though believe wholeheartedly that not only do their contributions actually change the world significantly, but that they are somehow better than everyone else. There is more than a tinge of irony in this.

The male equivalent to Nice White Lady syndrome is the Savior Complex.
Bill: Hey, where'd you get them shoes?
Terry: The nice white lady at the church gave them to me.

Aisha: That teacher ain't so bad.
Tameka: Only cause she got Nice White Lady Syndrome.
