I've been saying for years that we need a SDN singles section.

Your posts are just so out of place for a forum like this.

Its hard to not think that you are trolling or are TheBatman.

Ah yes, because you need to have a lot in common with the dude you'll have a day with before probably never seeing them again

hey i already explained this before, are people even reading my posts? 🙁 everyone functions differently okay, no need to attack my preferences like that you meanie...i enjoy it more when we have similar interests because the conversations are better, which makes the dinner better, the movie better, the dances, the drinks, and other activities better. so yes i haven't liked my tinder ones too much because my type is more the high-achieving premed! you obviously find them awkward but there are good ones out there for real

I feel like you have to be a troll because otherwise you are really lost. Have you never heard the term OP before? Have you not read this board before to know who LizzyM is?

i just googled op and found what it means! 🙂 no, i only joined yesterday so i don't know what LizzyM is
 
Byakuya said:
oh, i really do, it makes such a difference! the douchier guys don't care at all about the girl, it's about their muscles, stamina (ahem), egos. but the nerdier types (not super nerdy, though) usually think they're lucky enough to get a date or dance and will actually try a little harder. my friends tell me they think it's because the guys think I'm a bit out of their league so they put in the effort. i won't be looking for anything serious until late medical school because i don't have the time to invest but i do love meeting new people

and i know! i love traveling and obviously i will focus on getting to know the school and local area and interviewing well but the people would also really excite me! i am planning on getting coffee/drinks with at least 2 other fellow applicants at every place i'm lucky enough to visit

Go study in the engineering library, once you actually get in, that's always my advice for my female friends who are looking for nerdy guys who will feel lucky to be with you, you will definitely be outnumbered and thus, have better chances there. Or maybe just sleep with the Dean=instant acceptance (that was some advice given by a female dentist who graduated in the 70's when asked what was dental school like in the 70's). Or just come to dental school=better parties and better looking classmates (just kidding guys, don't kill me)

That's just a personal favorite for being very creative in narrative, I'm sure there's better examples of modern classics


LizzyM more often refers to the LM Score than the person nowadays

I wonder what the new LM Score system will be with the 528 point MCAT2015
Click to expand...

I personally think I'll be trying WedgeDawg's system out when I apply. It's pretty subjective but it will be interesting to analyze the results as more people apply with the new MCAT.

What's this weird obsession with 'meeting new people?' What's wrong with all the people you've already met?

well no i've graduated and don't get to see my friends often. usually i don't go out of my way to meet new people but like i said interviews are just such a spontaneous and natural gathering of similarly thinking people! doesn't that sound exciting and worth checking out??
 
Byakuya said:
that would be soooooo exciting!! :biglove:

Nah. I'll probably reduce the female population in the singles forums to probably zero :naughty:. Oh and this.

As much as I hate to admit it, this is very true.
 
Jesus OP, this isn't some sort of fraternity/college party. This is a chance to meet your potential new peers. If you hook up with the wrong person or if it doesn't go right, then you have to spend the next 4 years with this person and his friends, in the same exact classes, and potentially in the same lab groups... And believe me when I say that med students gossip. It's what we like to do and your class size isn't big. So you will have THAT label of hooking up with a guy during interview day. Something you don't want.

Case in point: some guy came to med school and for the first two months, he would leave every weekend to go to some frat party back at his college. Every friday he'd bring home a different girl back to his place before deciding that he was over that lifestyle (and he was bombing his classes.) Well, now he has the label of "that guy who sleeps around a lot" and no med school girl will touch him. Sad too, because he's actually a really cool guy. And a girl had a crush on him before she found out about what he did, so she lost interest.

What is this thread....

If you get an interview, the priority should be to rock it, not to get your rocks off.

hehehehe but it would be a win-win if i could get both. it'll be just like my vitamins - one in the morning and one at night

oh i don't think that would be a problem, i doubt i am going to get into multiple places and be in that situation. but thanks for the warning. if i were in that guy's shoes though then hey forget it, if someone isn't willing to take my history as it is, then bye-bye, not worth it. and i don't think i'll be "over this lifestyle" any time soon as i don't like getting tied down anyways!

It isn't a problem with the lifestyle. It's the timing of when to choose to live it out. I've hooked up with people in and out of med school before I found my current girlfriend (will be entering the couple's match haha.) Med students don't care about breakups or hookups, but rather how you live it. Hooking up with people is fine. But in the case of my friend, he was really trashy and he flaunted it as if we were still in a frat house in college...

If you do meet a guy there, then exchange numbers and meet up AFTER interview day. Then no one will give a s**t. But to hook up during? That's unprofessional and trashy.
