token Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 There's single people in my class, but they're not my type Depends if you like medical students. HAHA. Potential partners in medical school: attractive, single, mentally stable. Choose 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrendanJ Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 The free time is decreased in med school. From (1) Increased class / lab / small group time and (2) the amount of studying you will do. I actually disagree with this. I think I might go to the same school as you as well haha. I spend far less time studying in med school than I did when I was trying to get 100% on everything in undergrad. I also have at least double the spare time I did before. Obviously this will change next year with taking up clinical duties, but I'm just saying the experience can be a little bit different for everyone. As far as dating . . . I think circumstances are trivial. If you're with the right person you'll find a way to make it work. There's a number of engaged, married, and people with children/having children in my class. There's also a number of us dating people that have nothing to do with health care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octavius Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 You're with your class all the time, so it's hard to meet people who are interesting, that you get to know before you start dating them, and who won't run for the hills once they find out you're in med. *grumble* Run for the hills?

jcman Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Run for the hills? Some guys are intimidated if you tell them you're in medicine. Also known as the "m-bomb" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbene085 Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 Some guys are intimidated if you tell them you're in medicine. Also known as the "m-bomb" It's funny, for guys it's the opposite - dropping the "m-bomb" usually makes you seem more appealing to the girl, somehow...

doc2B Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 I know of one couple in my class, but there may be more. There are a number of people in committed relationships however. There are a number of us who are married or engaged. At least one is married to someone who is in one of the upper year classes. On the side note of getting married during med school, I got married in September (my husband is not in medicine). We didn't pay for our wedding however, our lovely parents were very good to us in that regard. But we do have a house and are undergoing renovations right now. I'm very careful with our money and I watch it like a hawk so I think we will be in a good place debt-wise when I'm done school. I didn't qualify for any student loans because my husband makes too much ~57K gross/yr. The bank was very happy to give us a large line of credit and we use it as sparingly as possible. We didn't go for a honeymoon and we have no plans for one anytime soon, we did purchase our own rings (they were a little on the more expensive side, but we'll have them for ever ). On the gift-end of things if you don't need too much stuff I would suggest not registering for anything then people are more likely to give you $$ as gifts. If you generous friends and family and you invite enough of them you could probably get enough to pay for a honeymoon and the rings, or even most of the wedding. I wouldn't put off getting married just because you're in school. I'm very glad we got married when we did and I'm very happy to have my husband as support through med school. Good luck!

RobynM Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 Agreed. I tell them all I'm a fireman:D That's so funny! I've started telling guys that I'm in nursing instead of telling them I'm doing a Masters in Oncology and it makes so much of a difference! It's amazing how scared most guys get when you tell them you're doing something semi-smart sounding...they basically make a few minutes of awkward small talk and then leave right away! *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO, a great way to weed out the insecure idiots who can't handle a woman who does anything outside the kitchen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As in women who are overachievers that can't stand a man that has achieved more than them. LOL. Insecurity exists for the smart and dumb alike. BTW, this isn't a swipe at RobynM or anyone else on the forum. Just an observation I have made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
