....to pick up chicks? I remember an episode of Seinfeld, where Costanza brags to some chick that he's a sit-com writer in an attempt to pick her up. But in typical Costanza fashion, it back fired on him, and the chick was not impressed with his job.

So, does dentistry impress the ladies, or will it blow up in my face if I mention it?

 

[speter33]

Let me tell you something. Ever since I got accepted to dental scool and have been droping the "dental student" bomb. I've seen girls eyes start glowing as soon as I mention I'm a dental student and all of my mother's friends are trying to set me up with someone. I think being a dental student alone won't magically transform you into a hunk, if you are a herb you will still be a herb just now in dental school. But if you know what you are doing, being a dental student is deffinately an asset with the biaches (opposite sex)

 

[Yah-E]

I've used the "I'm a dental student" conversation many times! You will be amazed on how many girls love the fact that you're a dental student and they'll smile right away! They start showing you their teeth, telling you stories about their dental experiences and they check out your teeth right away!

Now, if you're a geek right from the start, then no socioeconomic or academic position will help you, generally speaking.

Talk away and be proud that you're a dental student! 👍

 

[cusp of carabelli]

i too have used the dental student line and have had no adverse reactions so far... 😀 I'm wondering if it works for girls as much as guys though...like do guys get turned off when girls say they are dental students.... 😕

When I tell men that I am a dental student, they just say, "that's impressive" or "you must be really smart" or "Oh, so you're gonna be a dental hygentist" and don't seem to care. The last statement bugs the hell out of me and I get that quite often. I don't know if I get these comments because they are intimidated or if it is because guys just really don't care what a girl does for a living as long as she is pretty???? What do other ladies get as reactions? I am curious....

I don't think we guys care if girls are dentists. If anything it will probably be intimidating to some guys.

 

[xc1999]

I'm a lady here, and I've told a guy that I was going into dentistry when I was in undergrad, and he was pretty impressed. He knew that the dental field was pretty lucrative, so he seemed to think that it was cool that I was going into dentistry. And yes.....he did use the "wow, you must be smart line".....but he didn't seem indifferent about it. I don't know....I guess it depends on the guy. If a guy is interested enough in you, he'll probably be interested in why you made your career choices as well 🙂

Female here.

I get "Wow, dentists make bank!" as an initial first reaction. And I've gotten that reaction on more than one occasion. But I've also met guys who, once I started having a serious conversation with them, get intimidated by it and need to be in a relationship where the "man earns more money and provides for the family." My response to that is "Goodbye, have a good life with you and your obedient wife when you find her."

Of course, this was all when I was still using the "I'm a dental student" line. Let's see what happens this summer when I try the "I'm a dentist" line. I have a feeling I'm in for some bad jokes - suicide rates, couldn't hack med school, ewww gross, etc - followed by a look of confusion b/c girls aren't dentists, they're dental hygienists!

 

[Zurik5]

I usually lie to girls, and would never tell them that I'm going to dental school. I generally go with the pro athlete line, and sometimes introduce myself as Mr. Bush or Mr. Hilton.....works much better than telling them the truth.

 

[TheEponine]

I'm a female and it's definitely going go help you get chicks. I would definitely be interested in someone who goes to dental school

Me too, I usually tell chicks I'm a racecar driver or a lion tamer's assistant. Speter, I'm getting the same thing at my church, moms are all trying to set me up with their daughters. It's like a reverse "Average Joe"(HAHAHAHAHA).

 

[Dentalist]

I agree with Zurik5.


I am pretty sure that becoming a dentist is a big accomplishment. However, I wouldn't definitely try to impress girls by the fact that I go to dental school. Keep it secret, and see if she really likes you not because you will become a dentist.

 

[critterbug]

I just tell the ladies I'm hung like a blue whale......being a dental student is just icing on the cake 😀

 

[jes1ca]

Hah, I'm a girl and every time I try to explain to someone that I am going to dental school, they think I'm going to be a dental assistant (or sometimes a hygenist). There's nothing wrong with being an assistant, but it is like a six-month community college program. Hee hee! Oh well. Those gendered stereotypes are haunting me.

[Zurik5]

If you use GHB like I do (j/k), then you don't even need to talk to women. Ahhhh, thank god for roofies!

 

[RoyalAlbatross]

I used to tell the girls that I was a sex therapist. Man, you should've seen their pupils dilate! Hahah!

 

[fairbrother]

I am kind of Non-traditional student and work full time as a chemist and My Boss found out last monday that I am applying to Dental School For the class of 2009. We threw a Birthday party for him on tuesday and he mentioned to everyone that I may not be here next year since applying to dental school and people were like wow. I don't know why. I told only few people at work before this. There is this really good looking girl and I think she never really cared about me in almost two years at work but suddenly on wednesday she came up and we started and then she asked me what schools I am applying and had really good conversation with her and going out with her tomorrow. I guess dentistry worked. Funny thing is she will be applying to dentsitry in 2006 cycle and she is finishing up her requirements. Eventhough I never really had much problem with dating and chicks but sure will help little to elevate your dating style.
As a guy I think I never really care what a girl does for living as long as she does something, is likeable, and having good conversation and interests me. I am a also a kind of guy who doesn't really care how much my g/f is making or the girls I am dating but I know a lot of guys who would never ask a girl out or don't really get into conversation with them becasue they make more than them so they have no interest in them.

Ummh... did I mention that I'm single? 😀 Have we ever met? You sound so familiar! 😀
I also own 2 pairs of scrubs, 2 white clinical coats and a pair of loops. Oh, I have excellent manual dexterity! got an A+ in Human Anatomy in dental school 😉 😀 I'm very fond of Dolphin too 🙂

It sounded good until you mentioned the loops....
That is kind of dorky....
Keep everything but the loops statement when you hit on the next girl

But you don't understand! this is a special kind, coool kind of loops! Dorks are not allowed to own them! Any dental student would agree w/ me! Plus it comes in handy when you ladies do your nails 😀 😉
my heartfelt gratitude for your advices 😉 I'm very new at it anymore advices would be sincerely appreciated 😉 😀

It'll probably help with superficial girls who think that as a dental student you will be buying them a diamond necklace next week, but fail to realize that as a dental student, you probably dont have enough money to even ride the bus.

On the other hand, the marine biologist gig worked for Constanza, so I may be wrong.

I believe in that philosophy, the last thing I want is some girl who only has her eye on the green.


I also think that's one of the major reasons why doctors generally look for other doctors to marry, it generally filters out the gold-diggers.

How was the date? Did she really get interested in you because you were gonna be a dentist or was she just trying to get to know another pre-dent as in collegues...?

COME ON, Aileen(sorry, I love that song/part in Tommy Boy). Of course she was in it for the money! Actually, I don't think it's completely immoral that women are attracted to men who are ambitious and have a good earning potential. Smart women(and some dumb ones) want a teammate that they can consider an equal, who will pull their own weight financially as well as intellectually. It totally makes sense to me. Anywho, to add to Fairbrother's comment on guys that won't date a girl who makes more than them... They have no sack.

 

[busupshot83]

If you have to ask about "use dentistry to pick up girls," then you probably can't in the first place. Being a dentist doesn't make you a new person... once a dork, always a dork.

 

[fairbrother]

How was the date? Did she really get interested in you because you were gonna be a dentist or was she just trying to get to know another pre-dent as in collegues...?

You know it was over all good date and after that we have been out twice. Well I have a lot of free time untill school start in 2005, becasue all I do is work 40 hrs a week so have lot of free time and is the same for her. She looks like so far great hard working woman and don't think that she really needs money. She makes more money than I do (don't know how much but she has higher position than I do), she owns a twonhouse, and Drives Lexus. I have enogh money but I still drive Ford Taurus(great car using it for 5 years) that I bought used when I was freshman. First woman that I have ever dated who paid her half for the first date(love it), I tried to pay but she insisted. I think she believes in equality between man and woman and thinks that people should pay for their own food. Also we talked about her plan on attending dental school and I think she is probably interested because we are in the same profession and also lokking for the same profession as a change(I would also be interested in knowing someone like that). We have many same interests(except for music and food) and I think is cool. We will see how it works out. I think that ,I am dental student/dentist line helps but don't really think is a good idea to use it becasue I think chances of getting people interested in you for wrong reasons are very high but that is just my opinion.

 

[rsawpo]

The equality in the relationship is def imp when a woman is a dentist. My bf kinda is sad(not intimidated though) that i will end up making money more than him if that ever will happen. It's the idea of self-confidence, not only in every aspect that he is now, but also on a material level. I definitely wish dentistry would not make much money, just for the reason of me and him being equal in every aspect - i would not care about it, but i care now because i see that he does. The good prospect is that possibly he could have his own business and i would have mine, and we would complement each other then also in a material way. Plus, since i will be in debt for the longest time, it should be ok in the imidiate future! 🙂

Anyone care to share about any tendencies they see with their bf's or gf's?

Your boyfriend needs to grow up.

I wouldnt care at all if my spouse was making more than me. Just so long as I know I'm doing something I want, I could care less.

I know that many female dentists would prefer if their husband earned more than them. That's what you won't hear on this forum. So many female dentists secretly prefer if their husband earns more than them. This isn't just female dentists but this applies to female doctors, lawyers etc. A lot of them have told me as much. I have seen many female dentists marry male dentists and then work 2 days a week so that their husbands can bring home the bacon while they essentially become housewives with DDS initials.

I just think it's a bit hypocritical to attack men for wanting to earn more than their wives when many females would secretly prefer if their husband earned more than them. It's part of the whole macho "my man is in control" bs. A lot of ladies like that although they never admit that for politically correct reasons.

It kinda reminds me of the sensitive man debate. No woman truly wants a sensitive man. Sure, they don't want a wife-beater and a completely closed minded buffoon. But many women including many proffesional women still prefer if their men act like men and a part of that strong male model includes men earning more than their wives. Yup, I think it's crap but what suprised me is how many women secretly agree with this idea. I think if a woman earned more than her husband, she wouldn't throw a hissy fit about it like a man would but I think if she had a choice, most women would prefer if their husband earned more than them.

I openly agree on what you've said.... I would not care at first, cause money does not come into my view of "macho man" qualification, but it comes in general views of others, including my bf - so because of that, it becomes part of it. If only people would not care (not only him, but also general environment) I would not give a damn. I have all i wanted 😉 But, no, society dictates our lives yet again....

Men like to be in control, and women want to be wanted. Say what you will, but male-female interaction is all about power (hate the word relationship). A woman has more than a man and he starts to feel like a boy. Totally immasculating and the man won't even feel like having sex because he can't dominate her. It's like he has a new mother. The idea is totally repulsive. Ultimately these 'independent' woman will end up not with men or babies, but with boys and cats. What use is a woman's independence if she ends up all alone?

I'm assuming this is a joke. If so, haha.
If it's not--you're the one who's going to be alone, my dear. It's 2004. Women and men both want to be wanted and both want (some degree of) control.

I know many more "independent," successful women with husbands and babies (this being the ultimate goal, in your mind) than meek, self-subordinating women. I don't know any men--besides you--who are attracted to the latter type. You are part of a small and dying breed; thank goodness.

It sounds like you have issues with your mother and masculinity. That, no girlfriend--meek or bold--can change. Please seek professional help, for your own good.

I agree whole-heartedly with you, KylahM. Dentite001, you are one pathetic dude. I can sum you up in one word: insecure. You can only hope that you find a strong woman to lift up out of your pathetic fog of insecurity. Only she can challenge your narrow, chauvinistic beliefs. Trust me dude, its best to be with a smart and successful partner. I am with a woman who is smarter and will likely be just as successful or more successful than me, and I have so far been accepted to three top 25 medical schools. When someone is smart and successful, you have great conversations, great laughs and an even better love life. In addition, my girlfriend is hot, so maybe your trouble is finding a good-looking smart/successful woman. I would work on my mack, then, Dentite001. I have been with airheads and it is unfulfilling and sad. This is my simple advice for you. However, I unfortunately have little hope for you, kid. I have met your kind many times and you are usually arrogant and stubborn egomaniacs (underscoring your insecurity), which is why you are usually so unhappy for prolonged periods of time, usually lifetimes. You will likely end up a single, fat-gutted, second-rate dentist in some ****ty office in Jersey who hits on washed-up 40-something house wives who come in for ?cleanings,? etc, etc. This will happen because you will not have a good, strong woman to help you grow as a person and enjoy life. Finally, please just listen to me and refrain from continuing to express your less than enlightened views on this forum. Oh, I forgot, you probably can't help it. You are planning to be a dentist, after all. Good luck with that, toothy!

As a female (non-dentist), I have to say; being a dentist is sexy, but--I'm afraid--not nearly as sexy as being a doctor. Just my opinion, of course, but I think most others would agree.

I'm sorry that you feel that way! did you know that most visits to a dentist last about 30min. to 1hr; doctors, they're in and out about 5min. I don't know about you but that's not long enough for me 😀 Most successful dentists have good communication skills and excellent manual dexterity which can go a long way! You want someone who can communicate, don't ya? not someone who spends endless hrs at the hospital, right?

Don't mind Dentile001! I, on the other hand, like to be controlled! I want to be picked up, thrown around, used and abused by women! Yeaahhh 😀
I don't have problem with women who make more money than I do. She can be my Sugar mama! Babies or not is fine w/ me too. We can always adopt, even a grown up kid, save us the money for diapers, baby foods and sleepless nights 🙂
In case you're wondering, I'm very masculine yet still keeping in touch w/ my feminine side from time to time.
Take care, and I sure hope you'll change your mind!

Kylah no joke. The fact is, your kind are not wanted by most men. You'll change your tune, when your clock starts ticking away.

Controlling woman = Man repellant
Needy man = Woman repellant

Here's another lesson in women. Doublespeak.

Woman - "You're a nice guy". Translation: "You disgust me. Your never getting inside my pants" Fact: 90% marry up. See that aspiring female dentist seeking male doctor comment for proof. I bet billionaires are pretty sexy too.


k"kid"-med. Stop depending on other people and look after yourself. Whose pathetic? You are not in the real world yet and still need and therefore trust people. It's cold out there. Gotta feel for that South Korean guy that just got axed.
Trusting people is dangerous. With divorce around 50%, and women initiating the majority of these, a man with your future prospects would be foolish to EVER depend on anyone. Think 15 years down the road from now, you'll be established with a nice house and a practice. These things can be taken from you, and 'the one' who will do it to you is the one you trust. Anyways, I hope everything is still okay, between 'us'.


Woman - "I can't stand that man" - You're about two seconds away from me ripping your clothes off and ***ing the hell out of you. Lesson: Do what you want. If they get angry, all the better.

Women havn't changed. Take away the fashion and the design remains the same.

As for being alone, it's what a man prefers. Men dominate in sex. Women dominate when you can't get rid of them.

Only a fool would argue with women and children, so I will keep this brief. Dating a doctor is nothing but a new dress for you. You can quote women on what men think, but unless you want the truth, your going to have to listen to a man. The best thing you could ever do. Of course you never wanted to hear the truth, that would mean living in the real world. I wonder how many sexual partners your boyfriend actually has. All the best at your prestigious company and good luck with your 'relationship'.

Seriously if you use dental school as a way to hookup, you should re-evaluate your input to society....

And any girl who doesnt like you until she finds out you are a dentist, then you didn't need her to begin with.

Also, the people who say WOW YOU MUST be SMART, "smart" is what you make it, everyone is smart, only some reach out for more information provided by the world we know so well.

 

[bolnoi]

very nice thread! notice how several dentists or aspiring dentists in this thread admitted that being a dr is "sexier" and "moving up" as compared to being a dentist.

 

[bolnoi]

bump. i'd like to see 10 pages of discussions on this one.
