I am asking because many guys I know said that they definitely won't marry a doctor. Even those guys who study in the medical school with me say that they won't be in a relationship with a doctor.
But why? What makes us a turn off?! I can't understand this, we are just like other girls but maybe more serious when it comes to work and hardworking so what's wrong with this?!

On the other hand, one of my friends she is already a doctor but she says that the guy she's with now, seems that he just accepted her to use her money!

Ugh I feel my future with the relationships will be horrible! :(

    I have a crush on a girl that is going to medical school and she is voluteering at a clinic I meet her at. She originally feel for me. I ended up hainv problems because she is at work and it looks bad. Thinking about it she could be seeing someone else. How would I ever know if she was a doctor and some guy likes her at work? She is very hot. Relationships not always perfect. I'm thinking of her know and because of a miss understanding she's giving me the cold shoulder. I really had liked her. I don't know what to do. Is it someone else? I really don't want those type of feelings when she is away... And now the cold shoulder... I think it would be to tempting for a female doctor to have a hot man in her office when things are not well at home...

    While doctor is not the hottest profession she could have, but it's a lot better than most. I'm not intimidated by a girl who makes more money than me so that wouldn't bother me that much. And becoming a successful doctor is something to be admired.

    So short answer: yes, no reason why I wouldn't.

      That's true, not all doctors go on to be rich, but as far as general occupations are considered, you can do a lot worse.

      I do know that lots of guys aren't comfortable with the idea of their girl making more money than them. It's got to the point where most can accept women working in positions of power, and making more money than them, it just hits home a little more when it's the girl he's seeing. That and the idea that he can feel like a trophy husband.

      But not all are like that, I'm not.

      Thanks. :)
      So the guy doesn't like the idea of his girl getting more money than him?
      And not all doctors get too much money sometimes teachers can get more than them.
      It depends on the region and other factors.

    Are you kidding me? Ambition is a serious trait. Not to mention the comfortable life of a better cash flow and the possibility of some really hot role-playing. The only thing I could see as bothersome would be the hours. But a lot of people work long hours.

      Aah haha. See it as a way to filter out not needed jealousy then :-). Other women have to sort through the riff-raff and you don't. The second thing you mentioned is what I was thinking of. But that just feels like a lot of people here don't work very long hours. If you'd find someone that work a long time outside the house, about the same as you do, they couldn't possibly be bothered by it :-)
    • Question Asker

      Maybe they don't want their women to work in a place with too much men around them, or to work for a long time outside the house. It's what I concluded from the answers here. :s

    i dated a doctor. nice, caring and smart chick.

    i like chicks who are into helping people and that stuff, since I really don't care about strangers, it's nice to have someone who does.

    I don't care what she does just as long as she is moving in a forward direction in life. I think the long work hours has it's pros and cons. pro would be you don't see each other so much that you're sick of each other and a con would be that a lot of doctors are on call so they kind of have to be available 24/7 and that would make me mad if I wanted to plan a surprise weekend getaway with her or something.

    Why wouldn't they?

    I can understand that they're probably thinking of the females doctors examination other men and stuff like that, but then again, it's still a very high end job to have.

    A man who has serious (and I mean SERIOUS) feelings towards you, genuine feelings, he would probably admire your job since it takes a lot of effort and time to become a doctor.

    Trust me, I'm not becoming a doctor, but I'm becoming a programmer as well with merits in networking and economics. It might not be the most "attractive" job to girls out there, but at least I have the confidence and the thought that someone out there might appreciate for who I am and what profession I will have in the future.

    Believe in yourself in what you do, and you will find someone eventually :)

      you've actually made me think on something I've not really bothered thiking about all these years ha ha.

      1. I find the whole idea of having a dr for a wife very sensual
      2. I'd adore to see her working (& when I do I'd probably not be able to keep my hands off her lol)
      3. I'd love to help her out whereever I could
      4. I'd always be proud of her for the noble profession she's in
      5. If not on everything then she'd be knowledgeable in her field, I'd love to listen to her
      short of characters here :-D

      I am surprised that your female friend got used for money. Women are usually hypergamous, so that doesn't happen that often. Most guys realize that by the way and don't bother if they aren't making as much money as you are.

      You: if the fates allow

      M: umm OK. Well you have lovely eyes!
      Y: only because it is dark in here.

      M: woah. So what sort of things do you like to do?
      Y: fill my cup half empty

      M: this isn't going very well. Errrrrr, ummmmm, so what do you want to specialize in?
      Y: internal medicine... If I Am lucky.
      M: (face palms)

      Happy it would be better than that. :-)

      I'm gonna have to spank u! Where is your confidence doc? How many people make med school? Not many, but you did! I don't believe in luck. I believe you keep your eyes open, you take a risk or two here or there, and you guard your heart. You enjoy what you learn about yourself and others along the way. Eventually you see only one running down the path you are. You ask them to join you and voila, there you r!

      I know you aren't a doc yet, but you will be. And if you have bad luck don't doctor me!

      Pft that is rubbish you won't be a doc because of luck, but because you work hard. Luck won't be involved in love either. It takes work! You will be fine. Heck I might marry you myself!

    I think it's because doctors end up working late night shifts and imo, it's hard to not think they'll cheat.

      It's hard to trust anyone these days. But I mean, a lot of doctors are known to cheat (statistically). Maybe you might be faithful, but a lot of people who do work late nights, end up getting close to a colleague and one thing leads to another and by the time they know it, they're already fooling around.

    • Question Asker
      7 months ago
      Yeah maybe the second reason is right. And maybe they thought that I will be specialized in a field with a lot of night shifts, since I didn't tell anyone that I won't joint the emergency sections.
      But even if she works in night shifts, shouldn't they just trust their wives?! After all, the hospitals aren't places to fool around, she because a doctor with reputation with a very hardworking it's obvious that she won't cheat and destroy her reputation later.
    • Answerer
      7 months ago
      In that case, I can't seem to understand why someone wouldn't want too. I mean, the late night shifts would be the only thing that would essentially bother me. Maybe for some guys it might be a hit to their ego knowing that the wife is bringing home more money, but that wouldn't even be an issue for me because I think it's stupid if you're trying to compete with your spouse about who brings home more since you're supposed to be a team.
    • Question Asker
      7 months ago
      No, I wouldn't study a specialty which has emergency cases. I will choose something like dermatology maybe.. so no night shifts.

    ive lived with a doctor before, the problem is their work is really more of a calling not just a job...you marry a doctor you have to accept that they'll be working A LOT, they can't just take a holiday like everyone else and that in some respects your relationship is going to come second.
    as much as I respect and admire doctors...i wouldn't want to marry one.
