<p>have you met any as premed students?</p>
<p>Yeah, man. She takes my money. I'm in need.</p>
<p>Hahah! love it</p>
<p>Absolutely. There are plenty of times I know a girl has been interested in me only after hearing I'm in medical school.</p>
<p>I know a couple nurses, that while they won't admit it, you can tell the only reason they went to nursing school is in order to land a doctor.</p>
<p>Yeah I'm sure they want a med student, who's gonna be in school/residency for the next 10 years, making diddly squat or nothing. Not the best plan for the short-sighted gold digger.</p>
<p>Just kidding.</p>
<p>Would you be willing to take a gold digger? Or does it not matter and depends on the specific girl/guy?</p>
<p>I'm wondering if med students/doctors really care about this kind of stuff. How many doctors are married to other doctors?</p>
<p>Wow, some people are full of themselves.</p>
<p>There are plenty of girls in undergrad who see pre-meds as a meal ticket. It only gets worse when they know you're actually going to be a doctor. </p>
<p>I'll be honest, I have sort of a love/hate relationship with telling girls I've just met what I do. Of course it always comes up pretty early when you've first met someone, which of course makes it a little harder to judge where you should take the conversation. On one hand, it's who I am, it's who my friends are, it's what I spend a great deal of time thinking and talking about and it's going to continue to be a big part of my life. 95% of people are impressed when you tell them you're in medical school, and there are quite a few, very positive traits that people associate with "medical student", so it's a nice way to sum up many of my positive traits...but on the other hand, I don't want someone who is dating me more for my profession than for me, and I get annoyed when a girl's demeanor obviously changes upon finding out what I'm doing. Perhaps if I would not have seen this switch happen so frequently over the years, I might be more okay with it, but it does happen, and it's amazing the transformation that occurs in some females. These days, I usually start off by saying I'm in graduate school, and if they push for more details, then I'll tell them, but otherwise leave it at that and figure they'll find out eventually. I'm not sure how I'll go about it when I'm a resident...</p>
<p>I used to date another med student who's father was paying for the entirety of her medical school tuition (at a private school even) and I sometimes regret that I wasn't able to make that work out.</p>
<p>I've been telling people that I'm in grad school. "For what?" they invariably ask.</p>
<p>"... it's a very interdisciplinary program. It's a lot of biology, ethics, communication, a little physics, some economics."</p>

<p>I see what you did there.</p>
<p>I'm hoping to find a law school girl who will be my sugar momma.</p>
<p>You're not supposed to put the r in that phrase. Heh.</p>
<p>guys. russian mail order brides. come on.</p>
<p>Come on you all! What about premed girls who are in the same boat as you?</p>
<p>I met my hubby in Grad school when I wasn't even "looking " to get married. It just sort of happened without either of us really engineering anything.</p>
<p>It's best when you meet someone who understands the demands on your time and is on the same wavelength as you. Even to this day, when either of us comes home with a tough predicament, we bounce off our ideas either wrt science or job politics. It really helps when you have a synergistic relationship. We are married for 24 years now.</p>
<p>So, don't rule out meeting someone who is also in the same boat as you.</p>
<p>Upon hearing that I was going to medical school, one of my mother's gym friends tried to set me up with one of her kids. Nevermind that I'm 15 years younger, of course - I instantly was date-material. It was creepy.</p>
<p>Nope, I'm from Washington, and we pronounce our "r's"...</p>
<p>MEn should only marry women of equal or greater financial status since divorce courts will screw you over otherwise.</p>

<p>That's quite interesting, as I happen to know plenty of premeds who not only never had a single date in college, but couldn't get one to save their lives. Let's face it. Premeds tend to be drawn from a certain crowd: namely, those people who do nothing but study all day, every day, and otherwise have no life and no social skills (heck, some of them don't even shower). {Note, that's not to say that that's what doctors are like, I'm just talking about what premeds are like.) In fact, I am almost certain that many of those premeds do what they do as a matter of default: since they know they can't get a date anyway, they might as well spend their time studying to get into med school. </p>
<p>Perhaps somebody should set up an online dating system - i.e. a match.com or eharmony - to put together all these girls that are apparently attracted to premeds and those lonely and desperate premed guys that I remember. I'm sure they wouldn't mind being seen as 'meal tickets' because, hey, that's a hell of lot better than nothing (which is what they're getting now).</p>
<p>sakky, I get girls. I only party like twice every 1.5 months but even then... All my friends are partiers, study freaks, etc...</p>
