Search Results: questions from the doctor

Before i begin, i must apologize in advance to the guys, as I've blocked you from answering...and that's only because i asked a similar question like this a couple days ago, and i hardly got any answers from women, and that's what I was actually looking for. Anyhow, what I'm looking for here are women's perspective on my dateability by the time im like 30ish. These days, I've found it very difficult to do anything outside of studying, because I need to study at least 10 hours a day MINIMUM in order to get through my med school classes, so I literally have no time for dating, as much as I want to. I'm kinda worried though that by the time I'm finished med school (by the time I'm 29 - 30), I'll be really inexperienced. I guess its kind of the price you pay for taking the route I've chosen for myself. The hard thing about trying to be a doctor is that you have to sit by and watch all of your friends start their lives at like 23, some of which are already married with kids..and I partly feel like life is passing me by. I feel like by the time I'm finished, a lot of the good gals might alreayd be taken, and I may be too inexperienced with dating to actually attract them anyways.

So for this question, I'm asking you guys to sort of give me an assessment of my dateability in the future. In the question i asked like a day or two ago, I pointed out a couple unchangeable physical traits about me that have in the past made it harder for me to date...but I'm going to list my positives and negatives, and what I want you to do is not give me an answer like "girls would love you/hate you"....make it personal, about you and what you like/dislike in men. And if you have any general feedback on what I should do about my situation, you can throw that in also. Feel free to look at my profile as there is some additional stuff about me there...and most of you already know what I look like, so you've got a lot to work with. Cheers.

Positives:
Good career
Fun hobbies (making apps, gaming, novel writing)
Open minded and down to earth
Funny

Negatives:
Short (I'm 5'5)
Race (controversial, but its been a recurring problem b4, so i mention it here)
Not athletic (I'm alright at soccer but im no jock)
Skinny (fixable, but no time to tackle it atm)

I know, I know, the majority of you grew up learning that it's wrong to brag and whatnot. But just for the sake of the question, here's a scenario:

You're a wildly successful inventor/doctor/singer/politician/etc. who's widely recognized throughout your country for your achievements and contributions to your field of work. You're invited to a very large gathering at the estate of your country's leader, a gathering only the rich and powerful attend. While you're there and having a good time, someone comes along and wants to talk to you. After introducing yourself to this person, you do whatever you can to remain humble because you came from nothing and you do not want your power and wealth to get to your head.

But then all of a sudden, this person you introduced yourself to decides to start bragging about himself/herself. He/She starts talking about all the things they've done, brags about all their material possessions, and even starts to (indirectly) make all of your own accomplishments seem like nothing. What would you do in that situation? Would you stick to your beliefs of never bragging or flaunting what you have, or would you decide to one-up him/her?

Just to make things more interesting and less "obvious" for you, here are some other conditions:

This arrogant person who's trying to make himself/herself look better than you works in the same field/industry as you.
They are known for their conceded behavior and have acted this way towards other accomplished inventors/doctors/singers/politicians/etc.
You are above them in terms of experience and amount of accomplishments.
No one would blame you for putting them in their place, should you choose to do so.

I myself have been taught to be as humble as I can but honestly if I were in that situation, I would put them in their place. Not just for my own sake, but for everyone else who had to deal with that person's bullshit.

It's a long story... Skip to the bottom for the main question.

I had a different upbringing than most people my age. I've struggled with health in my teens ( severe headaches and insomnia mainly). I went from an outgoing kid getting A's and B's to straight F's and almost not graduating high school.

After high school, I just rode out the insomnia (0-2 hours sleep per day for work, god that fucking sucked so much) and headaches and got jobs. I was able to put up with for many years until it finally caught up with me and I got hospitalized

By age 23 I've seen at least 2 dozen doctors and been in the ER room more times than I'd like to. I was hauled away in an ambulance one day. That day I legitimately thought I was going to die, the pain was like none other and I had a sensation of me leaving my body, I really thought it was over, that I was going to die. But... I was hospitalized and I made it. Same thing happened last month, I was having what I felt it was a heart attack, scariest shit I have ever experienced. I'm turning 26 in a month and I'm still battling it, at this point I'm never giving up until I make it or die trying.

I live with my mom, my brother helps with money, I didn't go to college, I don't have a job, I'm broke. I'm technically a complete failure and bum. Who would wanna date someone like this? The other side of me thinks 'hey, a lot of people are going through rough times but they are also trying to enjoy life, maybe I should too'. The only positive thing about me is that I have no plans of staying like this. I just have a vision, a dream that one day I WILL make it. I see it every fucking day and I'm chasing it every day desperately doing whatever it takes.

The ironic thing is that I am decently popular with girls and nobody suspects anything about me, I've never taken the plunge and never told anyone my story

TL:DR
If you're dating someone you really like and one day he revealed his story like mine, what would you think/do?
