very wise. (careful not to step on any movie-like branches)

 

I'd be perfectly living my life a some ordinary surgeon and if you think i'm boring, i don't have a problem with it

 

I read his wall of text and from something I remember, I think that he thinks one day you'll look back and be like "my life was nothing special... F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-U-U-U-U"

yeah, but everything he's saying is true, especially if you've been around a variety of people. reading the childish drivel is humorous enough to provoke a response, and then you realize, most 20-sum year olds think like this, so do many older people, paradoxically... the people who consider themselves to be the most normal... we're all ****ed up, in different ways, get over it, accept it, and stop attaching negative emotions to what your told you don't like about anything, many of these things, characteristics, features, etc. are neither good or bad, they're what you choose to interpret them to be, and are open to change... shy, go out and talk to people, embarrass yourself, who cares, don't like your body, go to the gym, don't like your intellect, start having intelligent conversations and developing intellectual skills, we're so paralyzed about what we think is normatively true, due to social constructs, break the rules, do something out of the box, an obnoxious group of foreign students was blasting music in a study hall the other day, so i walked up to them with a smile, and asked them in a polite and very, very loud manner, if they wouldn't mind shutting the **** up and leaving, all of a sudden, they're embarrassed and the whole in-group cohesion shatters, and like 5 or 6 tables are looking at me and saying thanks dude...

 

our society is full of pussies, we need more prosocial people with anti-social characteristics... we're so ****ing politically correct that we can't criticize the fact that we don't live in a democracy, the ultimate... and idiots like you, medigeek, and all the rest that are ensnared by it all, the advertising, the big cars, the money, you're nothing more than robotic corporate whores who've never taken any major risk in their lives, it's pathetic, you want to go to the hottest parties, i've been to them, you don't have to be rich to get in, you have to be interesting, there's jars full of free candy and other goodies (all courtesy of well off persian guys whom i have no interest in discussing their career with... nice guys though, all the best of everything, for free of course... you know what, it gets old, i mean, sure, it's fun once in a while, but life is long, things get old quick... and even people who live the most extraordinary lives on the surface get bored, or has some underlying struggle, everything you've been sold is a lie, everything that is beautiful will become ugly, all that was once young will become old, the dopamine kick you get from buying that new bmw will get old (cocaine is much better than the rush of buying a new car, for the price:euphoria ratio imo... but even that will get old, or kill you), eventually, everyone around you, all the 9.5's... will leave you, and you'll be alone, with your hyper-inflated money, looking back at your life, and realizing that you hadn't experienced every moment, i've had so many "peak experiences", and none of them were like you described, hitchhiking home with this random couple, making a flight to europe by 4 minutes you booked 2 hours earlier, seeing rammstein live with a buddy you bought a ticket for because he was going through a hard time, you like sex... sex outdoors, on a golf course at night, or on the contra sitting with your legs over the bridge on a "date" with someone at 3 am, and having that person tell you things they'd never told anyone before... try and think of your life as a book, does anyone want to read a book about surgeon x who did the same 6 surgeries their whole life, spent their whole time in a library... trying to attain a title to get something they were depriving themselves of the whole path there... sounds like a boring book to me

 

take whatever "personal shots" at me, you want, i'm a pretty open person as you can tell, this is more of a diatribe against the crumbling society i see around me... and the new generation of spineless people who are heralding it's future.... "even more retarded cousin" culture upon us, and we just say yes sir, because we have too much to lose... so just keep silent, put up, and shut up, it's the fastest way to success... you'll get a couple plaques on the wall for your life and complete mindlessness... even the juvenileness of asking someone to put up pics of their wife... why the **** would anyone do that, why do they have to prove anything to you, why do they have to care what you think of them at all, it's so ****ing petty... who ****ing cares if you believe me, youre just another boring face, i may talk to you for a couple minutes, but if your not interesting, ill talk to the next person, who i might talk to in depth with for 3 hours, complete strangers, it's not about impressing someone, it's about finding someone you find interesting, who finds you interesting... and if you just want sex, that's even easier, save money on the 300 dollar dinner, and lamborghini and get a high class escort for a 1000 bucks, they're to the point, and will give you a great time (btw. here's what piss your pants "means", wanna know what a really good way to make money is, in s & m parlours, with an rn, some clients enjoy things involving minor lacerations and you actually need someone with a rn to do it, so if you're into kinky sex, you can get your rn (if you were a girl, hypothetically) move to vancouver and get a job at one of these places, pays better than most medical specialties, plus the work is rather easy... if you have a penchant for dirty talk... yeah an md and a bag of money won't prepare you for those kind of girls, but they're actually really normal, paradoxically.

 

yeah, this post is to the whole group of overly horny pre-med guys who're archetypical of medgeek or whatever, it's just nauseating that i have to share the streets with these kinds of people.

 

I loled really hard and now the entire library is looking at me as I type this

So i'm just gonna keep typing until everyone forgets about it and goes back to their studying

and that's right about now

As a female I found this thread hilarious...hahah!

 

If I meet a guy who does something interesting or "prestigious", there is a good chance that I will give them more of a chance to start (unless I can tell they are a complete ****head), but if I meet someone who doesn't have an amazing career but after spending some time with them they turn out to be a great person, what they do doesn't matter at all. Not even a little bit. However, for me attraction does matter %100000. I dated a guy for 3 years who in my eyes wasn't very good looking but it didn't matter because he was a really great guy, but then in the end it came down to the fact that I was no longer attracted....can't date someone that you don't want to touch....

 

Having said that I have a friend who is super hot and will date any guy no matter what they look like/what type of person they are, as long as they dress in designer clothes and have a ton of money they can spend on her (like $5000 a month, not joking) she will date you!

 

Oh and muse, Joel and Lindsey are no longer together...and I don't know if I would call her "non-slutty", as she is a playboy playmate... what can I say I like deadmau5 :P

 

I suspect your friend's world is about as complex as a 6 year old's.

How did this even happen? loooooooooool

 

If money, prestige, and lifestyle's what you're after, then don't be a doctor; there are easier ways.

 

And while everyone's caught up in the moment with their dreams and aspirations of becoming rich and famous with chicks hovering around them... I hope some of you actually realize that life is not all about that :P Gotta save some room for things you love, unless that's all you care about, in which case I would tell you to seriously consider a new career path...

this post here represents >98% of girls. there you have it :)

 

either money will finalize the deal, or looks will. everything else is irrelevant at best in the long run, and a bonus in the short run.

98% of girls? That's not nice.

 

You're not looking at a piece of paper where you're reading a list of qualities and at the end it says: NOTE-Rich too. And you say, perfect, I'll take it.

 

However if you want to take that analogy forward, it's more the quality of the paper, or the designs on the paper, and how the paper is displayed that may initially attract you to reading what's on the paper, but if what you're reading on the paper is pure crap, then you wouldn't wanna continue reading it, however good it may look.

how about... the 2 main things that matter are money and attractiveness (face + body). Not the ONLY things, but the main things.

 

This is the only thing in this thread I want to comment on.

 

If you are an average guy (say, a 5), then what makes you think that you are entitled to a girl that is a 9.5?? Honestly! The only ones that'll go for you are gold diggers. They'll marry you, take your money, then go marry a hot but less wealthy guy.

 

Date within 1 point of your attractiveness rating. Always.

 

how often do old rich guys get 9.5s? and they're maybe a 4 at best?

 

Of course you're right, but that's why you date for 1-2 months then kick them out of your house once enough sex has been had. And before you say "high class escort," this plan is way cheaper than 1500$ per hour ;) for a hooker.

 

If you make a lot of cash (even a doctor's salary for most), that's enough to attract gold diggers anyway. hence why I laugh when doctors marry someone without dating for >10 years because it's as good as giving up half your money to a whore for the next 40-50 years.

What's wrong with saying that? The golddigger wants money, the sugardaddy wants sex. If the sugardaddy can prevent the golddigger from diggin', more power to him. Golddigging is basically prostitution anyway.

 

Like others have said, there are easier ways to make money. I just don't see someone like this would make a very empathetic doctor.

I'd be surprised if you even had half of mine (srs). And I'm 18.

 

But for the average person in the western culture, what is the BIGGEST motive behind wanting to look better, working out, wanting a lot of $$$ and so on... yes there are other factors but sex makes up the biggest portion. Biologically and evolutionary supported as well.

 

Why are so many people trying to argue with an 18yo? This kid needs more life experience to shape his views on life in general, let alone women.

 

(wall of text)

 

Muse it sometimes surprises me how similarly we think, although I don't make it a habit to support your posts :P. The only thing is I believe that some people are quite aware of the state of our society but still choose to function within it, and remain happy doing so. They just attribute joy/sadness/frustration/etc. to things differently than you do.

lol wut

 

So guys should treat gold diggers who want their money as wife material?

actually... there are NOT easier ways to make money than medicine :) feel free to state a single example that's more likely.

Hey being a douchebag does not mean you won't be a good doctor!

Being an idiot on the other hand.....

yes using gold diggers for sex then kicking them out means you're an idiot... no wonder doctors have such a high divorce rate :rolleyes:

tell that to all those divorced doctors who had tons of life experience but now get to see their kids on weekends only while they work 65 hours a week only to pay half of their 350k income to some whore who's with another dude now.

Really? Tell how then (business is quite vague, you're thinking investment banking maybe?)

well those guys with more life experience know better though...

 

right ? :rolleyes:

 

You can still find a decent girl to get married to though.

 

Although I agree with you that $$$ talks for the stupider girls, I think Aaron is right when he says that you end up needing more to your personality other than just looks and $$$.

 

Looks + status + money all help, but they're not deciding factors.

I wasn't ever talking about finding girls for marriage, I was talking about getting high class/extremely attractive women.

If you make a lot of money, you better be dating for at least 10 years before you decide to marry.
