Some of you people are dorks!!! Your type drove me nuts in undergrad. This club nonsense, the whole Desi Penn thing, boasting/posting of rediculous DAT/GPAs...Do you people have no social self-awareness?!?!? I sure as hell hoped you all would be pre-meds. But no, y'all are going to drive me nuts for the next 4-7 years.

Sounds like you might be a prime candidate for the bigotry and hate club, drmeathead. 
Your bias against dorks definitely falls under the category of bigotry. You do your own thing in your own little "cool kid" universe, and the rest of us dorks will stay here and do ours on SDN, the super dork network.
I really don't mean to flame you, meathead, but... well... the vast majority of pre-meds and pre-dents are a little on the dorky side. It's really kind of unreasonable to come here and expect otherwise, y'know? 🙂

Dude,
i am all for your success. I am glad to hear aobut your grades. It is not true that all pre-professionals are dorks. Many are well rounded people , some are even jocks. Dorks just drive me nuts.
Hey you might as well have fun. I did and I am gonna be the same amount of a D1 as anybody on this board this fall.

I remember when I was in High School and I used to make fun of people. I strutted through the halls laughing at dorky kids. Made fun of people because their girlfriend wasn't as hot as mine. Laughing at people who wanted to be part of the sports team I was involved in. I couldn't understand why people were not as socially aware as me. I called people things like "dork". Something happened though. I grew up.
Quoting drmeathead, "Dorks drive me nuts." Dude, what are you like 14? What do you have to prove? Are you trying to make yourself feel better about something? You just get dumped by your boyfriend? You want a hug man?

When drmeathead runs out of steroids he gets like this. Let him feel good about himself. If calling me a dork makes him feel warm and fuzzy inside, so be it. It doesn't affect me one bit.

I'm a dork, and I'm proud. GOT DORK

Look all I am saying is that you should be well rounded. Its not a novel concept, the ancient Greeks initiated it...sound body, sound mind. As far as social self-awareness goes, people that are not socially self-aware are annoying. I dont treat them with less respect than others. The simple fact is, they are not pleasant to be around. It is nice to be able to go to class and shoot the $hit with somebody on current events, about local social scene level or on a global level. I really dont think that is too much to ask. People skills are what makes or breaks a practice.
Oooooooo! I get what you're saying! Working out (sound body) equals people skills.
Dude, you make no sense. What are you talking about!? You start your nonsense with, "I hate dorks." Now you are saying you like people with sound mind and body. Someone with a sound mind doesn't say stuff like "I hate dorks".
In reality I understand what you are trying to say. It makes good sense. My beef is that anyone who refers to innocents in a derogatory manner is a jacka$$.
You say that you want to shoot the $hit with someone of sound body and mind. What does their body have to do with conversation? Oh, nevermind. I forgot you are on the market again. Do us all a favor and make up with your man. Maybe that will relax you.

Elton,
I just used the sound mind, sound body principle of the Greeks as an example. It doesnt matter what your body is (unless you area girl I am trying to hit on). I just cant stand talking to people who are just social clueless.
I guess this whole pre-dent minority club thing just set me off. As a former college athlete, I often was looked down by many of the same people that didnt fare as well in their pre-health endeavor as I. 95% of these people were of the miniority mentioned in the pre-dental club. I just couldnt stand to see that people group excluding others once again. (Especially at a time when world events should dictate that all AMERICANS should come together.)
They, I felt, as a group were dorks. They had no social skills. They made zero apperances at all the hot parties at school. They hit the gym almost never and when they did they were clueless on what to do. Yet they didnt ask for help because the were all going to be doctors. The had the condescending part down yet had no title.
Yet once I got in, or word got out that I had the credientials to get in...they talked to me...a little. How nice of them. They are an annoying group that has pretty much soured my opinion of thier type until proven otherwise. The founding of this club on here just further my opinion.

"They made zero apperances at all the hot parties at school."
Come on man! Everytime you start to make a good point you say something I'd expect from a kid in 8th grade gym class.
I admit, I am not a fan of the club stuff. But, statements like this are 10x worse.
drmeathead, I'm sure you are a nice guy, you are probably even fun to hang out with. But, my guess is that you are still quite young and caught up in silly girl games played by cheerleaders. Popularity is a concept for teenagers and politicians.
"They made zero apperances at all the hot parties at school."
I'm still laughing.

Dude,
Look the parties were the ones ones you had to be invited to. Laugh as you will but getting an inviation meant something. The parties would be hyped up all over campus with flyers but it was invite only. Truth be told I have had better times just hanging with friends in mixed company but those "hot" parties with the beatutiful and cool people were still places at which to be seen. You cant honestly tell me that you do not enjoy being around attractive memebers of the opposite sex.

Parties are a blast! Hot chicks are great! But, the lingo you use remind me of a silly, self-conscious teenager. What kid out of High School says things like "hot party" and descibes popular people as "cool people". Not to mention your original statement of, "I hate Dorks". What else can I say? The problem isn't with people belonging to clubs and being dorks, its people like you who believe you are something "special".
When I was fifteen I told my parents that I was one of the most socially aware people in the world. I truly believed it. I was a kid and a dumba$$. You are a college graduate and you think like a boy still figuring out who he truly is.
I'm glad you got invited to these parties if it makes you feel better about yourself. Way to go man! But, to make fun of others because they want to belong to a club, a place that may make them feel better about themselves, is pure ignorance.
I love to work-out. If I dont run 10-15 mile a week I feel lazy. When I see kids at the gym who are obvious beginners I help em out, whether they ask or not. These things make me happy and make me feel better about myself. I don't judge others because they don't like the same things I do. And I definately don't judge them for not going to the "hot parties" in college. Face it bro, I like you only got invited to parties becasue we were athletes. That is the most idiotic standard to include or exclude people from a social function. If you think you are special for it you got some self evaluation to do. Be an adult man. Find other criteria in life to evaluate who is cool and who is not. I can't belive I am telling this to an eduacated college graduate, but a cool person is not one who gets invited to parties. All I can do is shake my head...

I played football in high school. I was class president etc. Not like that is important but I fit the stereotypical notion of what was "cool." Nonetheless, there is big difference between cool and well rounded people vs. meatheads. The meatheads were the ones who thought they were cool, but they came accross as idiots even to the cool people who befriended them. These guys had foot-in-mouth syndrome. They had no internal dialogue. And they lacked the ability to think beyond their initial perception of something.
Take this meathead for instance. He is basing his opinion on the fact that people are discussing terms like GPA and DAT. If Guido or Jethro here had bothered to analyze the situation, his opinion might change. After all, this is a PRE-DENTAL forum for students who are worried about their chances of getting accepted to dental school. So naturally the conversation will sway toward things like GPA, DAT and research.
Just because you can drink beer and put down others, don't think that you are cool. I guarantee that your friends with more sense are making fun of you behind your back. You are their lovable version of Lyle Alzado. I had plenty of friends like you in high school and college. In the real world, guys like you fell off the face of the earth. And if you did manage to become successfull, you were still the butt of everyone's inside jokes.
In every cool group, there is always one meathead. We used to use you like bait. You meatheads were great at making fools of yourselves at parties. You would get people's attention and that's the part we liked about you. You did this by being loud or drinking an entire bottle of tequila. However, no girl would take you seriously because they knew you were a meathead. We would end up getting numbers while you would end up passing out on the couch while talking about how you met so and so chick at the party the next day. Lovable Loser....
Trust me, things aren't going to change in dental school. You will think you are cool and people are going to be talking about what a meathead you are. Those people will include "hot chicks."

If Doc is upset about people creating clubs and joining them then he/she is forgetting that he might have started all this club joining about a month or two ago when he created the weightlifting/bodybuilding club. Remember or do you need the link?
http://www.studentdoctor.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=60510
To quote DrMeathead from that thread:"Please no stupid comments, just go to the next thread if this isnt your bag."
Should've just ignored the club craze and kept the opinions to yourself.

Pashj,
When did I ever post on the indian club??? probably about the same time you were a significant part of your football team unless you went to some candyass high school. secondly, the difference between the lifting thread and the indian thread is mine didnt limit to peopel based on their color/creed/religon rather, it limited based on what they were interested in. big difference.
mcataz,
gpa and dat scores are great to exchange info on. if you research all my posts and looka t my first one you will see that i have always though people lie/exaggerate about them. just like on weightlifting boards people lie about their bench weights and body fat. on pitching boards they lie aobu their ERA and mph. these people too, are dorks. losers who cant do in real life so they pretend on the internet.
brand,
you, i think, i can talk to. i dont judge any body for the hot party attendence. it is when you walk around like you are already doctor so and so is when you irritate me. i mention the parties as a measuring stick of how wonderful those people really were. social econmics if you will, many people wanted the invitation but not many got them. that made them scare and you had to be "wonderful" , so to speak to get one. i think you can see my point.

Doc,
When did I mention the Indian club or the Asian club or the Gambling Club ( 😉 )?
You're right about the limitations some clubs have in regards to race/creed/sexuality, but none of the clubs on the forum are password protected or truly limit people from joining them. It's a matter of interests and some people who weren't Asian joined the club because they dig Asians.
I wasn't trying to attack you in any way, but rather I was trying to say that those who didn't have an interest in Weightlifting didn't post anything on your thread. Afterwards no one created a new thread to comment on the people who did post in your thread. All we did was scroll down past your thread and read the next one that interested us. I didn't even read a couple cultural threads until you brought it up. Just ignore it or better yet read them so you learn a little more about the people who posted. You could even post on the thread and ask broad questions about their culture, if your mind and mouse would allow you to.
Lastly, you're right, I didn't go to a HS that had a team. Land is expensive here in NYC (Manhattan) so there are only a handful of football fields and most schools don't have a team. Where they lacked in sports they excelled in academiics so if I can't handle you on the line of scrimmage with my muscles, I can on a discussion board with my mind. Regardless I don't feel my school didn't prepare me well for University. Afterall, come Fall we're both starting on the same page. So save your wrestling references (candyass) for the people who spot you.
BTW, if my name looks foreign to you don't assume that I'm Indian. Do some research, you'll see I never posted on that thread and that I have already disclosed my Parents' origin. I'm an American, like you, yet I can't bring myself to stand shoulder to shoulder with you.

This thread is hilarious
please keep it going becuase this is a truly important debate.
I feel like I am watching two cripples fight.
Lord knows many people dont wish to be around the socially inept, unfortunately these forums allow for many dork-esque threads (this one for example). Seriously though, the comments on this thread are classic.

Pashaj,
I cant stand the dorkiness of these clubs. Anybody who wnat sto join an ethnic club of a different ethnicity is a clown with too much time on thier hands. I really dont care what any group besides upper middle class Americans do because that is where my degree will allow me to live. While I dont think anybody should be discriminated against I really dont want any other culture shoved down my throat. When in America be an American. My family is only 3rd generation Americans so dont give me this I ama WASP $hit, I mean poop. (Richard gets upset with me when I swear on here)
I didnt mean to comment on your origin or your football. I looked at the wrong username when I scrolled. My error. I thought you were the toolbox breaking out the high school year book.
You are right. We are on the same page come August. Which is the absolute bane of dorks world wide that somebody from "Planet Jock" can not only compete but excel with their brain.
Since my elbow went last year I now too compete with my brain. Maybe Ill get a chance to challenge you for top score on the national boards...Good luck and no hard feelings at my end.

I want to speak on behalf of Dr. Meathead. He is not what you think. He just PM'd and gave me some great advice and really tried to help me. He is not a bad guy.
"Grant me the Patience with the Changes that take time,
appreciation of all that I have,
tolerance of those with
different struggles,
and the Strength to
get up and try again".
this is good practice everyone. soon we will have to deal with lots of people with different struggles.
Comet!
