This is not a thread about the appeal of the MD degree but I will present an interesting scenario.

I have a friend who shunned away from dating, almost entirely, even during his PhD. He had always been set on finding an MD as his wife. He comes from a culture where MDs are the highest on the social status ladder. To my surprise, once his MD classes started, he was easily getting dates and family/friends were eager to hook him up with others. He is now adamant that I should not start anything serious until starting medicine.. While I don't listen to dating advice based on his opinion, I am curious.

How true this is? For those who had been in serious relationships, was there any sense of being held back? ...
