It's not so important to get married in standard 20 or so years. It's extremely important to get married to the right person. Wish you'll find your marrow!
Agree... 1000%!!

But were most of these people involved with someone before vet. school? I'm not with anyone, so it seems like it will be much harder. Trying to fit in dating and studying.I don't understand why people think they can't get married while in school. If marrying a serious SO would somehow become something too hard to handle while in school, then you aren't marrying the right person. Marriage should not be something difficult that somehow detracts from your studies.
FWIW, almost a third or more my vet school class was engaged or married by the end of it.
*fingers crossed*Some were, some weren't. Vet school won't take over your life unless you let it. You can find time to date, trust me.
*fingers crossed*
Glad to hear it from those ahead of me who are already knee deep in it.I am dating while in vet school... not seriously yet, but I sure as hell am not going to put that part of my life on hold while I am in vet school. I am 30, so if I waited until I got out that would limit me even more. There is definitely time to date while in vet school.

*fınds that cool gal ın dental school*
Her: So after dental school...?
Me: Gotta repay that Navy scholarshıp...
Her: Oh. So does that mean...?
Me: Yeah, means beıng ın the Navy.
Her: Oh. Okay. It's gettıng kında late, see you ın class?
Me: :cry:
there's ways you can positively spin it.
r u kidding me?How would you spın ıt?
r u kidding me?
put on ur uniform and smile or
put on ur uniform and say : "bet u wanna take it off huh?" or
put on ur uniform and ask her :"does this uniform make u gain 5lbs or is it just her, then smirk like a douche bag "
tell her ur in the navy and then ask :"do u wanna see a seaman?" then pull down ur pants
or show her all the places u will be visiting around the world to "fullfill ur duty"
there are plenty of stuffs u could do with that scenario. good luck
I think I lost a brain cell or two just reading the above post....
How would you spın ıt?
Well.
We now know he's never had a GF, and still has his V-card handy.
I would love to use the V card. Apparently it's a chick magnet

oh it worksYou just have to find the right girl - she was obviously not it. Not all girls are opposed to dating/marrying a guy in the Navy or having to travel, etc
seriously - holy hell!
yeah...uh huh....keep telling yourself that

It's not like you're necessarily going overseas. I know plenty of folks in the military, they are in the US for residency.
You have 4 (?) years of dental + residency if you decide to go that route. Sure, you may move around a fair amount, but you may not. Plus, being military affords one the opportunity to see the world. People like traveling and seeing the world.
Don't look too far into the future that you lose sight of the here and now and the near future. You never know, she may end up joining you. She may end up being okay with the lifestyle. Don't shut doors before they have the opportunity to open.

IMO, Educated girls are far less into military men than college drop-out groupies. I doubt any of this would work on a dental student. I think a lot of girls don't want to deal with the lack of control you have on your life. Girls have been very turned off when I have told them I'm thinking army surgery
As for the military thing... I think it depends on where you grew up.
In some parts of the country (the South especially), it is just more commonplace. In the Northeast, few women would be interested in a military guy.
I know you're right about that, I guess I have to just keep trying in hopes of connecting with that one. Since you're a girl and all and in professional school, how would you react to a guy you were dating if he ended up being in my situation?

But I think for the right girl a compromise would be made. I've moved 3 times in the past 7 years and that will be 4 times next year. I met my husband when he was 2nd year. I am 100% supportive of what he needs to do. I also think that people outside of the medical profession don't understand the stress of the relationship since your spouse ultimately has no control over their life for 7 years (or more) of training. Which is why you see so many medical professional couples. I also see people who said they would never move (or live) in ________ and yet they meet the right person and end up staying. Life changes and you have to roll with it. Flexibility is key to a relationship during training. On both sides.Agreed. I'm always being asked where I want to settle down, and I honestly don't have a clue. This uncertainty doesn't help but then again, I personally don't care. I know a lot of wimmin here would like to stay here, and quite personally, I have no plans on being here beyond my tenure on residency. I usually don't phrase things that way and just say "I'm up in the air, and it depends on what opportunities I have while I am here." Personally, I don't think I'd settle in the area I am currently located for a girl, because I will undoubtedly be moving for fellowship.
oh it works
because you guys and your opinions are soooo important to me.masturbation doesn't count. stop trying to kid anyone around here that your bullshit is actually legit.
So I'm a 29 year old medical student and very single...sort of worried that I'm not going to get married because prospects slim down considerably after the age of 30, right? Am I doomed?

And getting married after 30? 30 is the new 25. Most medical residents are getting married around 30-35 depending on their training. It can happen. Hell I went to Vegas because we were both poor students and I didn't want to plan a big wedding. Point was we got married. We didn't care how. Did we have a honeymoon? No. Do I care? Not really. But I know I'm not the typical female in that regard.
There is only one problem- your fertility will drop like crazy after 35. Make sure to have a baby (if you want them) before 35 if you can. Take it from someone who knows
I know tons of people who had kids, all healthy, after 35, most were after 40... and then there's always surrogates, adoption, IVF, etc...
Well, can I just say, don't try looking for it online. I've done the Okcupid crap, and although I have had 2 srs relationships off that, it was never as really srs as ones I met IRL. However, is it great for trysts of the casual nature

I dunno, I disagree. For working professionals who simply don't have the time to go out a lot (or who have only small circles of friends/few group activities, which almost inevitably happens when you're not in school anymore) online dating can be really beneficial. I've had several long-term relationships that began online. I met my fiance online. It depends a LOT on the city you're in, though. And as a girl you have to slog through all the scum to find the normal people.
How is an online dating site any different than a forum? For that matter, how is a forum any different than a coffee shop or a supermarket? Hell, a forum is better, at least here we know we share some definite common ground.
I won't comment on the point of people bragging about their qualities online. However, I will say that SDN seems like an amazing place to find a love interest, I already know so many of the women here are incredibly smart, driven, make or will make a great (and independent) living, share similar interests, and given many of their photos (despite often only being up for minutes) I know they're often good to great looking.
Only difference between Cheb and a lot of people here, is that she's being completely candid and confident. I'm sure given the opportunity, lots of folks that interact well on SDN would give a real life relationship a chance even if they don't broadcast it openly. Anyway, I'll stop contributing to this thread hijack.
Anyone who's single after 30... chances are very good they're pretty "used up" in every sense.
How old are you?
You should go look at his posts in the "Urrrgh Single ?" thread.
I started to respond then just shook my head and backed off.
