I just want to thank those last two posters for getting this thread back on track.

I'm married so the wife will be coming with me. In order to compromise, we sat down and discussed places that each of us would refuse to live.

You are extremely lucky my friend.

2.) not having to ask for a pre-nup.

I still am a strong supporter of pre-nups regardless of how much each make. Some people can be scandalous and you would never know it.

Lots of good responses on here though!

I agree with you here. For now, I'm supporting pre-nups too. (Especially with marriages where both spouses make the same amount of money)

Generally, all the female pharmacists I work with or know are either single and loving it or have married men who are currently making at least the same amount of money or more (e.g. PharmDs, DDS, DMS, DOs, MDs, CEOs, etc)

Male pharmacists usually marry women who make less money than they do. (e.g. social workers, teachers, and teachers...somehow teachers are good catches for male pharmacists)

There are exceptions and I may be dead wrong but this is the general trend I've observed from my limited experiences working with pharmacists.

what do you guys and gals think?!🙂

I've heard of a female pharmacist at a hospital who is married to a pharmacy tech.

Interesting. Lucky guys...

I cant really answer transformers question one way or the other. I just wouldn't know until the situation presented itself. I dont think I would care how much the girl is making. But that's why I said pre-nup. I mean if I am buying the house and car, I dont see any reason she should get it. AND VICE VERSA. I think some of the marriage laws are outdated.

 

[Transformer]

I've heard of a female pharmacist at a hospital who is married to a pharmacy tech.

Did she meet and marry her husband before or after she went to pharmacy school and got her PharmD?

And does her husband own a business / pharm tech school like Bryman or UEI or is currently teaching at a pharm tech school?

I actually haven't really met her, but I met her husband when I used to volunteer at the hospital. I just overheard from other pharmacists and pharm techs that he is married to a pharmacist. He is just an ordinary pharm tech there in the inpatient pharmacy. I'm guessing that maybe she met him while she was on her rotations during her fourth year or while she was a resident at the hospital.

Well if it's any consolation, I wanted to marry the pharmacist I volunteered for. Granted I'm only 23...but I could tell she totally wanted to leave her husband and settle down for a nice volunteer like myself. Which makes sense because I was no slouch when it came to filing.

Pre-nup all the way.

LOL. Marriage killer! Haha. I think the cougars just love us mid/early 20's guys.

Oh, definatley an unspoken fantasy.

Having a girlfriend who attends your same pharmacy institution would definatley have its benefits. I wonder how many students venture into this area.

Sorry for my straight forwardness, but every time I see cinnamoroll's posts, I think of cinnamon rolls. I just can't help it...

I decided to google cinnamoroll for my own amusement, and I discovered cinnamoroll is a cute little rabbit.

Well I just dont know how much time you would have with someone NOT in pharmacy school with you. At least you would have school in common. Would be nice if some of the pharmacy students ventured over to this thread to let us know.

Freaking hilarious! Ok so the other day BMBiology was giving me crap cause I made a few extremely minor spelling errors, mind you I work while I am on SDN. Anyway, he was giving me a lot of crap and even continued to harass me in a private message. Here is what I saw on that dating thread:

Not too surprise that you are a bf beater. Here's a free advice: get rid of the zero and get with the hero.

LMAO! He was giving me crap about spelling a word wrong, I dont even understand what he is trying to say! Pathetic...

hm...are you serious? You don't know what he is trying to say when he states "get rid of the zero and get with the hero."?

I'm a little gullible so I'm gonna assume you really don't know what it means. Here is what it means.

"Get rid of the zero and get with the hero" is a really corny phrase expressing the following:

Get rid of the loser and get with me.

...lol.."bf beater" I can totally imagine her wearing a bf beater top...and hitting her man...ouch..that's cruel.

haha. No I understand, I was just joking about how poorly worded it was. He was totally attacking that girl in that dating thread. Seriously, is that all he does in his posts.

On another note, I wish everyone would update their profiles. Every time I am talking to someone, I am never sure if it's a guy or girl and it trips me out.

If two people make the same money and one asks for prenup it is watever. If one makes significantly more money and asks for prenup, then the one who is poor will feel the other person doesn't trust him/her. It gets really iffy and awkward. Although the extreme isn't that bad of a case... like no person who gets married to donald trump will expect that he won't ask for prenup.

 

[confuzzled44]

😍 I have an absolutely wonderful boyfriend with whom I've been dating for about two years now. We are totally in love. However, I am hoping to attend pharmacy school in the Fall of 2009 and he is staying here (Oahu, Hawaii) and planning on going to medical school (waiting for response). My number one pharmacy school is UH Hilo so if I get in, we'll just be an island away.

...I am going to be sad to leave him. But I have to do what I have to do. I believe we can somehow make it.

Men usually marry women with less money b/c men prefer women that are younger than they are....its hard to find someone 10 years younger with MORE money...LOL...I was engaged to a guy that was 35 when I was 22, and now he is dating someone thats 22 again! 🙄

You guys are sooo lucky that you can be 30+ and get out and still easily find a girlfriend/wife...when I get out of pharmacy school I will be 29 turning 30 in Oct!!!! Its going to be harder for me to find a boyfriend b/c most guys prefer 22-24 year olds!!!! Not 30 year olds! 🙁

sorry for the rant...I really hate getting old...I wish I was 20 again....If I am 24 and have a PharmD...I am sure I will get a lot of guys then!!!

But I do agree with you that one shouldn't be in a serious relationship while in school! too stressful!

 

[TTUMike]

So I am not currently seeing anyone, but I was asked an interesting question. What if I start dating someone before school? Will they go with me? What about them having a job?

Since I didn't really have an answer, I was just curious what everyone else here was planning. Those that are married will obviously take their spouse, so there really isn't a question for them.

If that was an interview question then I would have to respond that it is an inappropriate question to ask.

 

[cdpiano27]

Yes, I agree with pharmacy school, and so many exams, one really needs to be focused on that. If one is enraptured in a relationship, it may focus attention away. However, in my PhD program, 75% of the students are married already at age 23, and half are from China. I am age 27 and not married, so it feels quite strange. But on the other hand, I do believe that a serious relationship could work out, if both people were very smart about it. So I would not discourage that, as long as it does not get in the way of the ability to perform in the program.

Also, if two people are really good and are serious about the relationship leading to marriage, they will learn to work together, and to appreciate each other as a group, and as a link between their families, not just themselves. If they work hard together, a serious relationship in pharmacy schoool is actually a great thing! And I would totally encourage it, two people grow together learn things that one individual person cannot learn by themselves.

I remember that I went to a convention at MD Anderson, and everyone was asking me about my children. And I felt embarrassed then, because I was the only single person! I went to the first floor, where there was a party for the dental students at UT, and I felt more comfortable there! However, it did make me think about this as well.

 

[YiYaoYue]

Yes, I agree with pharmacy school, and so many exams, one really needs to be focused on that. If one is enraptured in a relationship, it may focus attention away.

That is a big reason why relationships get shaky when one is in grad school. You won't have time to socialize with other people, because your tied down to a relationship and need to communicate with your sig other with any time you get. Not to mention you become the buzz killer when people want to go to a party or something. However, if your with someone else in grad school, then both are focused on studying and maybe even study together if they live nearby. Both will be understanding of each other's situation, much more than someone who is bored after finished with work and not much else to do.

My boyfriend of over 3 years and I are going to try the longish distance thing. I haven't applied to any schools more than 3 hours away (he thinks that's because of him, really it's because I'll miss my horses) so the distance won't be too bad. He's in his second year pursuing a teaching degree plus he has full custody of his son so he'll have plenty of things to keep him busy. My view is, if it's meant to work it will. I'm going to miss seeing him everyday 🙁

LOL. Me. Nothing wrong with dating an older girl. Been there. Though, I dont think I would date more than 5-6 years older than myself. In most cases, these single ladies/girls have careers already and also know what they want in life. That's hot. lol

haha....good word usage! I think it is hot too like when the lady pharmacist offered me a job out east. It was almost like an offer I couldn't refuse!! I think she just got out of pharmacy school but I bet she was married already but who knows (damn, I didn't check her hand though, oh well)...

Wait, How old are you SHC1984? For some reason I though you said you were 30? That technically isn't even a cougar, my bad. Cougar would be like 40+. Haha there are some clubs around here where a lot of them hang out. Good times.

There's a big difference between sexual fantasy/fetish or a fling, and wanting to settle down with somebody in the long term who will be child-bearing worthy, etc.

I don't think I can be a cougar since I prefer being the young/attractive one in the relationship! Not the old/ugly one w/ the money!

Hopfully there is a good business school around my pharmacy school...so I can start dating a future CEO! hehehehe...😉

But we are getting off topic again...Back on TOPIC.

1) Long distance relationships do not work out.
2) It's a very bad idea to date your classmates...cuz if you break up with him/her you will still have to see each other everyday!!
3) Pharm students will be too busy to be in a serious relationship.
4) However, if you aren't too busy maybe you should go and date the med students, dental students, business students or law students...(someone outside of pharmacy!)
5) If you are a women it will be harder for you to find a husband if you are 30+ when you get out...you will have 22-24 year olds to compete with...🙄

 

[SHC1984]

Thats a good question...are guys really I mean really attracted to older women OR are they just dating them for the MONEY?? LOL... I still can't picture a old woman with a young guy. LOL...

 

[hondagirl86]

You all are scaring me with the age thing! I'll be 27 when I'm done with pharm school (IF I get in this year lol). Not that that's old, but just the fact that this means I've been in school for this long with no breaks! (took 5 years to get my bachelor's 🙁 ) But whatev, it'll be so worth it when it's over with 🙂

Also, I've been with my bf for a year now and pretty much see each other everyday... Hopefully I can stay in Jacksonville since my parents are here too, but I'm willing to go wherever I can get accepted (well duh lol) And he still has a year of schooling left and then internships... idk what we are going to do . I'd still be excited to live in another city and go to a different school though... I told him that we'd have to use skype everyday if I do move lol

1.) True, unless married.
2.) It depends on timing. You become acquaintances for the first year and sort of scout the field. You become friends the 2nd year. You date the 3rd year. If you go to 3 year accelerated program then your set. If you go to 4 year than you only have to deal with it for a year if you break up after a year or so. But I rarely see relationships fall apart under a year or so if two people like each other for over a year as friends.
3.) You'll be surprised how much free time you will have as students (a lot of students work while in school and you don't have to), plus you will study group with them as well.
4.) That isn't a bad idea. Join some clubs and stuff that will have other students. Some schools will have classes with med students as well.
5.) There are plenty of guys who are looking for someone around their age. I'm one who prefers someone 1 or 2 years younger or older than someone many years younger because of maturity level. I wouldn't mind an older woman as someone in mid 20s, but I feel when I hit my 30s and get serious it won't be as appealing.

 

[Transformer]

Thats a good question...are guys really I mean really attracted to older women OR are they just dating them for the MONEY?? LOL... I still can't picture a old woman with a young guy. LOL...

Here is my rant of the day:

You mean you can't imagine yourself with a younger guy?

Forgive me if I've jumped to conclusions too quickly, but everything you've written have led me to believe you want to marry an older man who makes more money than you and is in a position of power. nothing wrong with that.

My question is why is it that women's roles have expanded way more than men's roles?

In comparison, we often look down on the concept of younger men dating older women when it is more acceptable for women to date either a younger or older men. Could it be women voice their opinions more than men? maybe...

There are so many roles women can take on but men simply cannot. Men are suppose to be the bread winner and not being able to make more money is almost an embarrassment in the public eye. Yet it is perfectly okay to be either a trophy wife or an independent women who makes her own money.

I'm not saying women have it easier than men. I think we should be open minded and realize what may be weird to us isn't weird at all to others and that's okay. We should understand what is the accepted norm and make our own informed decisions in terms of what we want for ourselves.


SHC1984, to answer your question, yes men who are potential eye candies to the ladies and have game, can also date them for money. It happens all the time.

 

[njac]

Haha, that was my original plan too: finding a new significant other in pharm school.

I originally planned to pick one up in pharm school myself.

so far there have not been any successful relationships between pharmacy students (who didn't come in attached) other than one couple who got together when he was a 1st year and she was a 4th year.

I wouldn't put too much weight on that option...

Were you born in 1984 as your screen name says? If so, wouldn't you just be turning 29 that year you graduate?
