Other Women
In the original series, plus the live-action films, Fred has shown some attraction toward women other than Wilma, and vice versa:
- Madame Yes - In the fifth season episode "Doctor Sinister" Fred and Barney meet Madam Yes, a seductive lady spy who manipulates them into aiding her in her covert activities, repeatedly landing them in trouble and then quickly escaping saying "I'm too important to be captured" leaving Fred and Barney in peril at the hands of the villains.
- Kitty Rockhawk - In the fifth season episode "Fred's Flying Lesson," Kitty, a pretty blonde flight instructor with an American Southern accent, teaches Fred how to fly a plane. Fred initially plans on keeping the flying lessons a secret to surprise Wilma, but his plans are thwarted after accidentally flying over a restricted military airspace near the airport.
- Miss Sharon Stone - In the first live-action film, after Fred is promoted to an executive at Slate & Co., Miss Stone (played by Halle Berry) becomes his secretary. Her boyfriend, Cliff, is the company's executive vice-president. When Fred is first introduced to her, he is immediately smitten with her, with Miss Stone flirting in return. Later, after seeing how villainous Cliff truly was (and his plans on betraying her), Miss Stone assists Fred and the others in unraveling the plot.
- Betty Rubble - In the second live-action film, which serves as a prequel to the first live-action film, Fred's first date is with Betty, who he becomes smitten with. But while Fred and Betty are on a date with Barney and Wilma (Barney's date), she becomes attracted to Barney and they swap dates. She becomes Barney's girlfriend and eventual wife.

Famous quotes containing the word women:
“A completely indifferent attitude toward clothes in women seems to me to be an admission of inferiority, of perverseness, or of a lack of realization of her place in the world as a woman. Or—what is even more hopeless and pathetic—it’s an admission that she has given up, that she is beaten, and refuses longer to stand up to the world.”
—Hortense Odlum (1892–?)
“The myth of motherhood as martyrdom has been bred into women, and behavioral scientists have helped embellish the myth with their ideas of correct “feminine” behavior. If women understand that they do not have to ignore their own needs and desires when they become mothers, that to be self-interested is not to be selfish, it will help them to avoid the trap of overattachment.”
—Grace Baruch (20th century)
