Life getting Better!!!

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I have not seen this. Then again, I'm female, and men seem to be less excited/surprised/impressed to hear such news than women.
 
Going on dates with random chicks is the most boring activity I know.
 
So little time....sooooo many gold diggers👎

Some men feel that way, I guess. Their loss. There are those of us who are confident enough to find it attractive. 🙂

That's what I keep telling myself. Hopefully I find one of those men soon.
 
My favorite response when I tell people I'm going to med school is: "Oh, we really need good nurses"

Second only to: "Wow, what a great way for you to meet a rich doctor to marry."

Med school = finishing school😕? hahaha
 
Well my husband and I haven't been on a date in a looooong time and it definitely hasn't increased any. Of course I haven't been accepted anywhere yet so I'll have to get back to you. 😉

Wow, I would be extremely offended by that.
 
I'm actually still looking for a sugar mama. There is no guarantee that I'll become rich as a doctor, and I'll need someone to pay the bills. You can never plan too carefully for the future.

I'm female and i've had guys who think it would be cool if they could date/marry a doctor so they could have fun all day long.... I also love the line "wow, so you must be smart or something?", that about ends the conversations RIGHT there! So basically there have been guys that are interested, I guess as a girl, I'm not so interested in guys that react that way?

:laugh: I can totally relate! I especially love that line about being smart. It's like what am I supposed to say? "Oh yes, I'm definitely a genius". The conversation automatically becomes completely awkward. When guys ask me that it turns me off because it seems like they are dumbing themselves down or something.
 
It's confidence. Mine was good before, even during the most stressful times, but it is easier to chill and live life now. I have managed to snag the most amazing gf ever since acceptance...but that has nothing to do w/ acceptance. Good luck w/ the ladies my friend.
 
I'm married. I don't think getting accepted to med school will affect my opportunities to score. They'll be just as bad as they've always been. My wife claims that the only thing hotter to a golddigging woman than a doctor is a married doctor.

Hahaha! The sad thing is, I've also had very similar responses. It's like, people, this isn't the 1950s anymore!

My personal favorite is:
Me: I'm applying to medical school
Them: Oh, nursing school, that's great!
Me: No, medical school.
Them: Oh right. To become a nurse or something.
Me: No, to become a doctor.
Them: Wait, a doctor?
Me: Yeah a doctor, you know...physician...medical doctor!!!
Them: Oh...hmmm. <eyebrows raise>
 
Perhaps you exude an air of stupidity and people think you can't handle the rigors of medical school.




Juuuust kidding. People are ignorant.

Actually, unfortunately it's because I'm female, and we're still living in a largely sexist world. And, yes people are ignorant.
 
Yeah I figured as much. Fortunately, I have never had such a negative experience. I usually get the "Wow... really?! That's awesome! That's a lot of school! You must be smart..." response as opposed to the negative, "You're a female and not capable of being a doctor" response. That would make me want to punch the person. Haha I have good self control.
 
My game was a lot better when I was a bartender making C's.
 
there might be some exciting times ahead...

I had some older people (my grandparent's friends) that told me I should not go to medical school because it was too much work for a girl to be doing :laugh:

I've gotten that a lot too. It's so annoying. The other one I seem to get is, "Have you looked into PA school. You really should ...." I know they don't mean it, but it feels so condescending, like I haven't thoroughly thought my decision through or something. Or I just have no idea what I'm getting myself into.

Game? What is this game you speak of? Do you have this patented, and if not, may I inquire as to the cost of said game?
 
My favorite was just the other day. I was taking granny upstairs to her room because she had earned herself a stay by being sick + being old + having heart problems + having compromised renal function. So anyways as I'm unhooking her from the monitor and making small talk with the two daughters my life story comes up.

Me:.... so anyways, engineering sucks and I'm going to med school now. 🙂
Them: Thats so great, we always need good nurses. And they make great money.
Me: .... ...... *raise eyebrow* (start wheeling the stretcher out of the room)
Them: Yeah my nephew works in surgery here as an assistant and makes great money. You should look into that.
Me: ..... ..... Yeah. Except I'm going to medical school. To be a doctor.
Them: ... Oh. Well. Thats hard isnt it? And long?
Me: Actually I have saved up enough box tops that this new D.O. school up in the mountains at Cumberland Gap are going to mail me my new degree. It should only be a year or two.
Them:... *silence*

I wish I would have said that. But instead I just kinda smiled and pulled granny into the elevator with them in tow. I just dont understand how ignorant some people can be. I started telling the old people that I'm going to doctor school when they ask so there isnt as much confusion. The nurses and other techs in the ER just laugh at me. But whats new? 🙂

Oh, and girls, I am in no way intimidated by those of you who are accepted to school. 😉
 
i thought there were more women in medical school now than men...I guess it takes a while for public opinions to change.

Anybody else notice that their dating life has taken a sharp increase for the better after getting into medical school?

Potential chick: So what are your future plans?
Me: Starting Medical school next year
Potential chick: O really!!! wow that sounds exciting!
Me: haha! yea definitely (sarcastic tone, thinking about all that studying and working 80/hr work weeks)

Of course having a charming persona needs to work after that to reel her in more. But sure is getting much easier, than being just a lousy undergrad trying to pick up chicks!!!

When I started medical school, I could take just about any hot chick home with me. It was astounding.
 
i have noted few students wearing their "medical student" id around the city and at bars on Saturday nights...

I've got something a lot worse for you. A guy I used to work with would wear his "personal trainer" shirt when we'd go to happy hour. Personally, I wouldn't be caught dead wearing that thing when I'm not working. It looks ridiculous.
 
i figure the good times are now...i start school next fall and until then can pick up all the girls i want with no worries about lost time studying.

but once school starts, who's got the time to hit the bars?

Do you think that med students are more likely to enter the "friends with benefits" realm with study partners since we are all to busy with school to date in the real world?
 
the DO I shadow each week and I were discussing how being a physician plays a part of a person's "attractiveness." He's a young guy, and all for equal rights -- he fully supports me attending med school... but say that he and his buddies agree that while being a male physician helps pick up hot chicks, being a female physician actually repels men.

Why? He said its because men have in mind what an "ideal" women should be: an extremely hot lady that can be the nurturing mom for his offspring. And female docs...... who probably wont have lots of free time to make sure a meal is on the table every night, just don't fit the ideal woman model. Also, he assumes men (some, not all) are intimidated by a female who makes more money than them, and/or is potentially more intelligent.

Now I disagree-- I think females in a powerful job is extremely sexy, as well as females that earn their own money and stand on their own two feet... but he disagrees with me.

What do you all think?
 
Ok ok ok. This thread reminds me of a riddle. So a boy and his father get into a car accident. The father dies instantaneously. Blah blah blah... The doctor is his mother!. Haha.

I don't know that people are necessarily ignorant or sexist by being surprised that you're going to medical school as a woman. Being a woman in medicine is tough--one of the biggest challenges is if one of your goals is to have and raise children, it's difficult to balance with your medical training and developing career. Can it be done? Absolutely. But it's a lot to consider for a woman of age 21-23.

---------------End of Thread Hijack---------------------

Oh, and A18Devil--don't you know any med students? Seems to me there's plenty of times they go out, particularly after exams.

Edit: Though I agree that there's not as much time for dating. There's an entire other thread for that going right now though.

It's totally subjective. If you're interested in marrying a woman who will raise your kids, do your laundry, and cook dinner every night, I don't think marrying a doctor will work out. Plenty of people are interested in other lifestyles, though.
 
Just got accepted today and my friends are taking me out tonight so they all can take turns giving me lap dances...😀

Once med school and residency are out of the way my husband plans to retire and be the master of his domain at home.

I'm cool with that.

oh if my women's studies (lib. ed. requirement 😀) professor only heard you....
 
Never mind pregnancy. Can a woman realistically expect to handle all the studying that you have to do in medical school, and still have time to adequately cook and clean for her husband?

its really amazing how people dont know that medical school means end result becoming a doc...i get the same response when people ask what im going to school for😡
 
I don't seem to have that problem because my mommy told me not to talk to strangers ^^. Alot of people are going to form bonds in medical school its a given because most people will join study groups to not go insane. Plus medical students are more interested in a woman/man that can Intellectually converse with them than the general population.

so, you are not going wear a t-shirt saying "I am going be a doctor" or give your parents a t-shirt saying "my son/daughter is a medical student."

Got my tee-shirts lined up. Now when I see family friends I don't have to do all the small talk about what I'm doing with my life...the shirt cuts right to the chase.
 
To the OP:

You think the hunnies are interested now? Just wait until you're a resident...the ladies fall at your feet. As for me, that's all useless because I'm engaged and happy, but nevertheless...the opportunities increase as you advance. Oh, and the nurses treat you WAY better once you become a doc. When I was a student, it is as though I was invisible. Now it's like, "Is there anything else I can do for you Dr. B?"

Nah no t-shirts because once people find out that your going to be a doctor or are a doctor they treat you different and I would rather people not be uncomfortable or feel they have to act like they are knowlegable just to talk to me.
