Dude's got "trouble with girls" because "three things happen". Got that? These aren't things that are possible, these are things that happen so often that they cause old Mr Hunt "trouble". One is that he falls in love with them. Because the old horndog never got the memo that you don't shit where you work.
The common advice of not dating where you work is more honored in the breach than the observance. That's just reality. Dr. Hunt, who likely met his wife in just such a situation, knows this very well.
The second is that these "girls" fall in love with him. Because of course they would. He's clearly irresistible.
I'm sure some found him so, in his younger days.
The third thing that "happens" is that he criticizes them and they fall into an hysterical heap of crying femininity
He actually just said they "cry". And that may well be his experience. Personally I've run into very few women at work who cried when criticized... but no men. He wasn't talking about Ph.D. defenses.
