That's a good question. I bet many guys would be too insecure to date a girl that was a doc if they werent'. When I was a junior, last year, I actually dated a clinical professor at the dental school. She was a doc, 11 years older. She was asian and very pretty . The age difference became an issue for her. She was nervous to tell people that I was an undergraduate student. She usually would tell people that we were friends. She said it was the polite thing to do. She liked taking trips outside of the area. She looked younger, I look older, so it was never much of a concern in public. I wasn't threatened. I liked her. I actually saw her about 2 months ago, outside, sort of awkward. She invited me over to her place. I walked her home, told her about my new girlfriend. She invited me in. I told her that I should leave and I did. Just strange seeing her. I'm happy with my girlfriend now, I love her, but I think that my doc lady and I might have been more if she had more courage. Incidentally, I left her because of the way she always acted around her friends when I met them. Being a doc bothered me.

my classmate lies to guys and makes something up besides being a medical student when she goes out because she believes that most of the guys get intimidated by it.

You think maybe the student/professor part of that equation made her uncomfortable? 😉
Actually, I have friends who were in a simiilar situation. When they got married, he was a prof and she had just started her PhD, so their wedding website has a pic of their marriage license with their occupations highlighted and the caption "Isn't that illegal?".

I know plenty of couples were she is the doc and he works in business or is a lawyer. Something like that. I think these days people are more laid back about who earns what or how much. I even have known some "house husbands" who did most of the child rearing for a few years.
We're not our parent's generation (for the most part, I think) and so men and women are forging new relationships. Just as long as there's that solid bond, the rest shouldn't matter so much. Like LP described above, both people have to be cool with the situation. I guess his girlfriend was not so comfortable, which is also definitely ok, and her right.

yeah, i know what you mean. it's really a sad situation, though, where men don't know how to act. they think that women want men to be all 'touchy-feely' and sensitive, whatever, to please the wife. or to take up the responsibilities of a mother so that the wife can be empowered with a career.

what's so bad about the daddy staying home to watch his kids? i would like to hear your perspective, since you think it's sissy. just curious...
personally i think which ever parent makes less money should stay home with the kids for a few years... just until they are in kindergarten. or at least have a job with flexible hours to accomadate his hot dr. wife's crazy schedule...
the thought of having some stranger watching my baby creeps me out. i see kids with their nannies all the time in the neighborhood where i work, and i dont think i could ever trust someone that much. hell, im even a little scared to be in charge of a child, even if its my own! but thats plenty of years away...
and its our inherent nature - girls want a good provider with resources for their offspring (a doctor), guys want someone with "good genes" for their offspring so they are the best, and also a good mommy. gotta care for those offspring until they reproduce! and thats why guys like boobs (boobs = good genes). but when a guy meets a busy med student girl, even if she has big boobs, he probably wouldnt consider her to be the best candidate to have his kids since she doesnt have the time.
blame evolution dammit!

I don't think the profession is all that big of a deal. That is for me at least.
I think what is more important is lifestyle. Do a man and a woman's lifestyle mesh? What are their common goals and values? Do either want a family? It can be a challenge to balance to career-driven people with a family (kids), but maybe not such an issue if no kids are desired. It all depends on the individuals and what works for them. Either way, you are gonna have to have a pretty understanding wife/husband to be with a physician, considering the hours required, etc. What works for some people won't work for others ...
I don't really care, so long as whoever I am with would give me some of their time and attention. No one wants to be completely abandoned for a career...

I think female doctors are hot as hell.
It's the concept of someone understanding what you're going through, having an endless array of conversations ( because I'd be interested in every single patient she'd see), enough money so that we could both work part time and devote more time/effort to do volunteer work - and - best of all enough flexibility to take time off and enjoy eachother's other skills.
Plus, the knowledge issue - if she's in another field of medicine the fact that she knows so much is extremly appealing. It would definitly be nice.

i was objecting to the term 'house husband', which is essentially a reversal of roles of the man and woman in a familial relationship.
and that's NOT our inherent nature! men hunt, women nest. duh! that's evident in the physiologies of the male and female. that's why women have breasts. is there anything wrong with men helping their wives with certain things? absolutely not! is there something wrong with women transferring their roles as mothers to the husbands? absolutely!
I expect both male/female physicians to balance their personal life with their professional life... If this is there, then it will be great to be with a female doctor... At least, you know she is educated, smart, and ambitious. I would love it 🙂

I think there is a big factor that decides how men perceive women. Since we all want to become doctors, of course I think other pre-meds are HOT! I could also see how powerful businessmen and lawyers would like to marry a female doctor. However, I think it is a turnoff for less educated males. Men are very selfish. We crave lots of attention and most studying/hard working females do not have the time to keep us content. I know it is kind of a double standard, but I would prefer my hypothetical doctor wife to pick a less demanding specialty. I do not want her stressed out all of the time and working insane hours. After all, when she isn't happy, no one is happy!
