i know for a fact that there are many girls who would really want me to be their boyfriend, but I am always not interested since I am interested in my career first.... so i have decided that unless I have the opportunity to date someone really beautiful who turns millions of heads I will remain single.. because if I ever meet this kind of girl, I know that if I do not get into a relationship with her, she will be taken up by someone else despite the fact that it will be a burden to be in a relationship with this girl during med school...

its all about pro's and con's

i mean (not to sound arrogant) but I consider myself good looking with wavy long black hair, tall, skinny, and tan..... and I want to have a girlfriend who is considered to be as good looking.. so unless I meet a girl, (who is just exceptional AND not pre-med/medical student) then I will remain single....

Not to sound overly modest, but I know for a fact that there are FEW girls who would want me to be their boyfriend. Trust me, I've been for trying for years. I'm bald, short, fat, and pale. My goal is to leverage this doctor thing and the perception of great intelligence and riches to score whomever I can. I'll then cling to her like stink on s**t!

Nice to see a pre-med without delusions of grandeur. :laugh:

i didn't read all the replies but i gotta say to all you who are single, be careful in med school! if you think med students know better/ are above sleeping around with each other and passing around STDs to each other you are definitely wrong :laugh:

From a girl's point of view:

If a girl is single, "turns a million heads", and not focused on a career (much like yourself) chances are that she won't settle for a poor debt ridden medical student with very little time and money who considers her a "burden". If she was out for a doctor type, she'd just date a doctor who at least has more money to spend on her. I do have friends who get asked out by doctors while they're in undergrad so its not a completely impossible thing.

Also, these types of relationships kind of explain why doctors have very high divorce rates. I hope that if you decide to ask a girl out while in school, its because you like more than her looks and that you have something to offer her besides yours.

agreed, and furthermore- incredibly attractive women aren't idiots. they don't need to date arrogant, extremely attractive men. if she turns a million heads, there are probably hundreds of slightly less attractive men who want nothing more than to take care of her and worship the ground she walks on. plus, if she's the more attractive one in the relationship, she's less likely to get cheated on. i think there was some study that actually said the happiest marriages are the ones where the woman is more attractive than the man. so don't worry Buck . . . girls may be shallow now, but eventually they will figure out what jerks the attractive ones are. you'll be the one they like to marry 👍
 
Married. Seems like there are twenty or fewer married students in my class of 185, plenty more students engaged or in serious relationships, but majority single.
I started with around 200 classmates, and a lot more than 20 of us were married. There were probably a dozen that started with children too.

I love threads like these because I just got through a break up and will be attending school in the fall. For some stupid reason I figured that I needed a girlfriend this year and hopefully keep her through med school for support. At first it was awesome being able to click with someone... only for it to end in heartbreak.

My view is that I plan on staying single throughout med school so as not to get distracted, and hopefully find someone I can click with again. And in no way do I want to date anyone in my class due to the reasons posted above.

Oh and to nonsciencemajor...I... just.... wow. That's all I gotta say. I mean, the way you describe yourself, I might as well be a clone of you and I thank God I don't have your mentality because I would be guaranteeing myself to be single for the rest of my life.

Oh and to answer the OP, inadvertently single.

Wow, I like your... realism? Better than the arrogant guys on here, at least.
 
i agree that i need to grow up... my life revolves around studying (9 AM - 7 PM), dinner (7-7:40), intramural sports (8-9:30), and then going out with my frat bro (10:30ish till like 1 or 2)... day in and day out.... i dont really need to worry about anything else, and to be honest, I am very happy this way, and really dont want to grow up because it would involve changing this lifestyle

Its called a bro-mance, Squeaky. I think you're already in a relationship that sooner or later you'll learn is the right one for you.
