Worrying about girls during pharmacy school. Talk me out of it.

Lol thanks for that. I needed that after a long day of work. Sounds more like a self description to me than anything else.

No, after getting my BS and MS, i went to pharmacy school on my first try. Feels pretty successful being a PIC after working for a year... that not that defines my success. Making decent money, dated hot girls, married one, very involved in pharmacy community (this is where i have the upper hand and you need to be very careful) and im sure im WAY more atteactice than you are.

Let me give you the benefit of the doubt that you are actually in pharmacy school... once you pass ID, cardio and somehow manage to get through your rotations and pass naplex, I shall maybe remotely take you seriously... but until then... i guess keep on being a troll? Lol

Btw i had a new intern start today so i showed her this post along with my techs... they were entertained. Thanks.

Wow, that was way too descriptive. If you're actually a pharmacist who has a masters degree, pretty successful, making decent money (I'd assume it was more than just decent by the way you make yourself sound,) married to a hot girl, and involved enough in the substantial pharmacy community of 4,067,718 WORLDWIDE, powerful enough to make me quiver in fear of talking smack to you online, and you're actually taking the time to type all this out on SDN just to prove me wrong, it makes it even more sketchy. Just a tip from an "inferior" student to a "successful pharmacist."

Also I hope you were joking about showing this to your "new intern along with your techs"

You should know how the saying goes, "better stay quiet and be thought a fool than to speak and erase all doubt."

Thanks for the laugh little man.

Now it's just here for everyone to read and laugh with their cup of tea before bed.

Sorry I was triggered.

@VictorOfHungerGames I would like to take a second and apologize for everything I said. I can see why my post bothered you to begin with, but I was legitimately looking for some advice when I made this thread, and I guess the picture I gave out of myself was some douchebag trying to show off that girls were talking to him blah blah blah. Honestly, that wasn't my intention. Coming to show off on SDN is the last thing I would do. I was frankly just seeking advice from people who have been through this before me.

At the end of the day, I'm glad I gave you and your pharmacy team a laugh. @FinallyOnTrack helped me realize how much of a dumb ass I was being by claiming you're lying about being a pharmacist. I have no right to call you a liar, whether you were or weren't. Find it in your heart to forgive me for being such a pain in your ass today, it'll definitely make me feel better about myself tomorrow. 🙂

Everywhere that isn't in your classroom? I wasn't really even trying and I'd run into those types. I had one FWB that was just a friend of my cousin. One was a girl that I'd always see playing basketball at the park all the time. One was a girl that lived down the road a few houses.

Don't you younger millennials have a thing called Tinder now? You literally don't even have to try anymore. Start swiping.

Biggest lie ever told.

My reputation in West Virginia/W. Pennsylvania = terrible. My reputation in E. Pennsylvania= impeccable.

All I had to do was move to the other end of a large state and nobody knew who I was or anybody that would know me from back home. I was able to completely reinvent myself with zero hassle.

Pharmacy is an incredibly regionalized profession with the exception of very niche practice areas.

Tbh, I'd be more worried about an RPh that shows their techs threads like this than a P1 that doesn't know how to behave yet.

"Do y'all know [pharmacist name]? He listed you as a former employer/PIC/etc..."

"Yeah... He's alright, but he'd show the girls weird stuff on some pharmacy forum"

"Cool. I'm gonna toss his resume"
 
Back when I was in pharmacy school. Most of the girls became interns and tried to find a pharmacist as a boyfriend to help pay for things. Maybe 4 in 5 girls in my school had a boyfriend who was not part of the pharmacy school. It was rare for anyone to hook up as pharmacy students. When I first became a pharmacist, I actually dated a few pharmacy interns because they knew I had money and could buy them nice handbags and pay for their books, rent etc. Two of the interns I dated ended up marrying doctors later and are no longer working as pharmacist.

Well if they work in a pharmacy, chances are they already know about this forum? And why would it be a problem? This is a public forum. Anyone can see it. Whether you list your personal info here is entire up to you. No one is digging through your personal life or doing your background check. Unless youre hiding something, why would posting or showing a public forum be an issue?
 
I knew a few couples met in pharmacy school and got married. There were also a few girls who just needed to release some tension, and a few long distance relationship cheaters. When you are in a career with majority females, in a confined space that you see them everyday, it is very difficult for men to keep girls away. It is completely normal to date during school years, it doesn’t necessarily make your grades worse. What if your perfect match is within the group? She might be someone you prioritize before your career in the future. You do want to avoid drama - the girls from my school were pretty flirtatious after exposing themselves to excessive amount of estrogen. Desperation leads to drama, which can be emotionally stressful. I think you really seek good judgements on specific events or people.

This thread is legendary
 
Whomever above said that pharmacy isn't a small world... it sure as hell is small if you remain in your alma mater state. I know people who aren't getting hired based on their reputations.

A good amount of pharmacists are married to other pharmacists... so word travels very quickly when you don't do your job well, and job prospects diminish very quickly.

To the OP: in pharm school all you should be doing is smashing exams, weights and protein shakes, and ........

you fill in the blank. Enjoy your last chance of freedom before the real world.

I was not bluffing about showing this to my intern. I was showing it as an example of what not to do. I do not know OP but he seems like a disaster of a pharmacist in the making. Granted, I may have gone abit too far about some random p1 that just barely started but what he said above (i'll let you read them), on a professional forum like this... hmm i don't know... again, I did not mention any names nor do i intend to find out who this is but i can still use this as an example of how NOT to behave as a student. (remember, this is an OPEN forum. ANYONE can view this). Many of my pharmacist and doctor friends are on here. OP def crossed the line with this one.

I revised my post after it quoted it, sorry.

You're lacking some self-awareness, my friend.
Exhibiting weird behavior in real life to make an intern aware of anonymous weird behaviour online is not a good idea

Showing this thread as an example of what not to do? You literally barged up in this thread like your typical high-school douche bag walking through the hallway pushing everyone around, calling people names, bringing people down, threatening, etc. with his chest puffed out showing off his physique. Literally everyone here can scroll up and see that this thread was actually getting some serious answers to my question, and then low and behold Mr. Don't Mess With Me Because I Have The Upper Hand And Can Ruin Your Life If You Don't Watch Your Mouth Victor comes in and acts all immature. Here, let's remind the crowd, shall we?

Yeah... so if you're having issues being distracted because of hot girls... in a professional school... what advise would one give? stfu and study? lol You named yourself "SwolePharmacist" and you're here asking what you need to do to get over your hard on for hot chicks... such an oxymoron lol Maybe workout less, make yourself look less attractive... then those hot chicks will leave you alone.

Click to expand...

Yes, that is a PHENOMENAL example of what not to do. You definitely think your intern and techs sided with you when in reality they now realize how illiterate their mentor is but definitely will never say it to your face.

Everyone take a second and give our man Victor here some advice, since, you know, I'm a dumb P1 who acts "like a disaster of a pharmacist in the making."

I was honestly down with letting everyone think I'm the one who needs to apologize, since it really wasn't my place to call him a liar. But the disrespect of passing over my apology as if it wasn't there, continuing to argue with other people on this thread, and then judging me by my online character that I'm a disaster of a pharmacist in the making is too much coming from the guy who started all this to begin with. **** apologizing to unconversant people. Usually it's the "adults" stepping in and showing some maturity, but the dumb P1 is the one who issued the apology while the arrogant, self-centered, aloof "Successful pharmacist" was the one who started all of this and still continues to show case his power at the end of each and every comment to try and scare people online. Lmfao. Too bad we can't identify this keyboard warrior to use as an example of what not to do and how not to behave after graduating pharmacy school.

Thanks for your input haha. I Definitely will steer clear of drama. I've decided to hold off on getting to know people on a personal level for as long as I can. I think I'll be able to make some lifelong great friends in pharmacy school, but for now I'll go through this first year mostly focusing on self-improvement. I'll definitely focus on studying and make it my #1 priority but I think I will grow a lot as an individual this year as well.

I will definitely keep a solid profile and high reputation in the eyes of my class mates, teachers, basically everyone who sees me on campus, work, and most definitely keep all the sketch away from my social media life. This really won't be too hard since I don't party, drink, etc. And I keep a positive group of friends. I can usually catch bad vibes almost immediately after meeting someone. I've had an active but clean profile throughout my whole life thus far, and it has definitely helped in a lot of opportunities that I've been offered.

Smashing exams, weights, protein shakes, and my keyboard while note taking is the plan hehe. And don't bring that negativity of "last chance of freedom before the real world" here! That's the last thing I need to hear. I'll worry about that later. 😛
 
Thanks to everyone who actually came here to give a piece of friendly advice! You guys really made a difference. It may be "just another SDN comment" for you, but it's some really good advice for me. So you can go to sleep knowing that you made a difference in a confused P1's life! <3
 
There are 2 things you need to do in pharmacy school:

1. Study
2. Work as an intern at least a little bit each week and a lot during the breaks.

If you do both of those well, you should still have time for extracurriculars (working out, mountain biking, fly fishing, dating girls from inside or outside your class, or whatever else it is you do). You’ll have about enough time to do several of those things poorly or one of them properly. There’s no reason not to date if you can handle it. Pick what you want.

Hello,

Yes. I actually made this post on SDN. Because I need adult help, and not any of that Reddit or Yahoo answers fake ****.

This post is pretty self explanatory. I’m currently a P1 in pharmacy school. I highly doubt I have time to worry or fall for some of the cuties in my class, especially because I know I will never end up with any of them (in the long run.) I walked into pharmacy school thinking everyone would be more mature and less flirting but some of these girls are already trying to lead me on. Literally today was the first day of actual class, like...seriously? Distractions already? for F*CK’S SAKE. I’ve been through enough drama and headache in undergrad and honestly we all know a solid 7 can really distract us from studying if we let her. And I have a solid 9 sitting right next to me in class. >.>

Anyways, I’m trying to come up. I want to be a legend. I have bigger plans. But there are some solid 8’s and 9’s in this class that aren’t helping me with that. I call upon all of you experienced ALPHA MALES, assemble! Help a little brother out. How did you guys who have been through OR are currently going through pharmacy school deal with this? Anything helps. Thanks!
Click to expand...
Pharmacy school isn't so hard that you don't have time to date. In fact there were several people in my pharmacy class that were dating and now a few of them are getting married. I would ease off the acceleration there, I think that you are making this a bigger issue than it needs to be. But if you honestly just want to be single through pharmacy school just keep turning girls down, they will get the hit. In all fairness, my school was 60/40 women to men ratio. Many girls see pharmacy students as prime material. So it is natural that they make moves on you, even the "betas" in my class were getting attention. But just keep telling girls now and they will stop. Don't make romantic gestures.
 
I like how you deleted the post where you said, "Lol I’m going to have to stop you right there sir. You’ve just violated a MAJOR bro code. Sit down and reevaluate your life for a second." You do realize it still shows if i quoted you on it right?

You can talk all you want but know your place.

I didn’t delete anything. Everything that was said between you and I is on this thread for everyone to see. Learn to use SDN since you seem like you’re pretty busy on it rather than your busy life Mr. Pharmacist.

Hint hint, you’re probably viewing this on your phone, go back to page 1 to see more comments.

Thank you for this. I will get involved in many extracurricular activities once I get in my groove and see how I perform on the first wave of exams.

Thanks for commenting! My school is also about a 60/40 or even 70/30 women to men ratio. You’re right though, I really am making it a bigger issue than it is. I think I I got the jist of things, and all the advice I needed out of this thread, it’s just interesting to hear more.

Thanks for commenting. I’ve heard both sides of advice so I guess it really depends on the person in the end. However I choose to manage my time will will translate into how much free time I have to do all the extra things.
 
The only thing I'd recommend is if your pharmacy school is on a university campus, then your hunting grounds are outside the pharmacy school. Feel free to date random arts and humanities students.

When I was done with class at Touro, I usually just took the subway to LIU and hung around the campus there if I was looking for action.
