sally4sara Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 Maybe he doesn't know Apparently, it becomes much harder to tell the difference once they've studied nursing...........
Stung Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 I can't believe Betamanlet agrees that a male nurse is fine. Maybe he just wants people to agree with him for once. Well, in my school years, I had quite a few male teachers. As far as dating, I've known guys who were teachers. Being there are so many male educators, why would I see that as strange. Maybe, I have seen male nurses before, and didn't realize they were actually "nurses". It's clear based on my experiences, I've only been exposed to female nurses, so it's hard to imagine otherwise. It might also be where you are going. In my daily life, I generally go to three doctors: my General Family Practitioner, my kids' Pediatrician, and my OB/Gyn. Those tend to be specialties that attract more female nurses, and even in the liberal urban area I live in those offices seem to be staffed about 75-80% female (that includes the doctors). When I have to go to the actual hospital, however, there are both men and women everywhere, in a plethora of different colored scrubs. Unless I specifically ask or one is assigned to me professionally, it can be hard to tell who is who: medical student/nurse/technician/physical therapist/physician's assistant/orderly etc. It's really only easy to figure out who's a doctor and who's a security guard unless you're paying attention, and usually when I have to be in a hospital my thoughts are otherwise preoccupied.
Mary3 Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 Male gynecologist. Now that's another story. I couldn't date someone who looks at other's girls vagina's all day. I also wonder, WHY of all things a doctor does, would he choose this. You can't be serious ? You think a Gyno thats all he does it look at vaginas. Think about that the next time you get a female infection, need a Pap Smear , you develop Cervical Cancer , you are pregnant , you find a lump in your breast and so on...Not to mention that your Gyno attends up to date current meetings in the field of medicine to SAVE your life . Seems you are more embarassed about the Nurse thing. Yes, you are right. You should NOT date a male nurse.
Mary3 Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 He was asked that already. But he never answered. Haha...........

Seems you are more embarassed about the Nurse thing. Yes, you are right. You should NOT date a male nurse. Well technically yes, he does do that on a regular basis. Where are you even going with that. Sounds like you are saying I don't respect a gyno's profession or appreciate it. Got to love how people twist things around. Not to mention, been accused of having "backwards" thinking, and suggested educating myself on what nurses do. How lovely is that..... Honestly, reading back, I think some of the responses are not very realistic. I would just like to see some of your reactions if say you got a message from a Male nurse on PlentyofFish, or got ask out by one at a club. I don't disrespect nursing, and I think its a good job. I just don't think it suits a male all that well. That's just me. the only issue here is your insecurities. you have a problem with male nurses because it isnt high enough status for you. you cant brag that he is a nurse like you could if he were a doctor or lawyer. the problem is with you Insecurities? Like you are have room to talk. No, sorry being "high" enough status has nothing to do with the way I feel. I think it's a good job, but as I said I don't think it suits a male that well. I don't care to brag to people what line of work my spouse does. I'm not like that, but thank you for the note. I love all the accusations. Maybe I should just go F*ck a male nurse tonight and see what all the fuss is about. JK...

You are insecure. And I'm sure everyone else here would agree with me about this.
Buckeye Candy Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 I think it is cool that you are honest about your insecurities and you did say your feelings wouldn't stop you from going out with him, so there aren't really any problems with this situation. You're allowed to be attracted to whomever you like and for whatever reasons you choose. I think you should give this guy a chance. Who knows? Maybe he is a bit put off by what you do for a living?

And I'm sure everyone else here would agree with me about this. I am a bit insecure, but I never said I would indefinitely not date a guy because he was a nurse. I mean in general, it does turn me off and it's not something I'm drawn to. I am not saying a guy is a horrible person because they are a nurse, but it doesn't appeal to me. As far as caring what other's think. If your entire life, a male nurse has been unheard of, why would you not feel awkward about this, and why would you not assume other's would feel weird about it, especially if you told them you dated a male nurse? Let's not conclude what "most" think of you, Beta. According to most of your attention seeking threads, you are about as diluted about being a nice guy as it gets. You must work on that....you must.
littlebittle Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 What could possibly be bad about a guy who is going into nursing? Nurses are extremely hard workers and they help save people's lives for a living. I guess the only downside would be that they have to work long/weird hours. I used to work in a pretty big city hospital, and probably half of the nursing staff was male. I had no idea that the notion of a male nurse still carries a stigma. Apparently I did not get the memo that we are living in 1963.

I just don't think it suits a male all that well. That's just me. Honestly? If a male nurse asked me out? I'd be asking him questions about his profession and I'd ask if I could shadow him at work because I'm seriously considering changing careers and would like to get a firsthand look at exactly what type of work goes on. I have a lot of respect for nurses, especially because they get looked down on by both patients and doctors. I've seen nurses who are better practitioners than some doctors and who are much better at actually dealing with a patient. I've never met a nurse with the "I love playing God, so bow down to me" attitude, but plenty of doctors fit that bill. And there's nothing inherently "feminine" about nursing. The tasks are similar to what doctors do.
edward-e Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 why is everyone attacking her "insecurities". she just doesnt find male nurses very attractive, shes NOT saying nurses OR gynos are stupid professions that people shouldnt do. shes just saying that she doesnt wanna date a male nurse because she finds it feminine. its the same thing as when women say that men have too soft of skin OR dont like men with manicures and are feminine...

You're allowed to be attracted to whomever you like and for whatever reasons you choose. I think you should give this guy a chance. Who knows? Maybe he is a bit put off by what you do for a living? Well this guy luckily is not of interest to me for other reasons beyond being a nurse. As I said, I thought it would be good for discussion. I also realized after reading this on his profile, how much it did bother me. Now, say he was very appealing otherwise, it would be hard not to converse with him. I'm sure I would talk to him and still give him a chance. I'm not going to totally shut him off because it says nurse as his occupation. I guess I probably made it sound like I wouldn't date someone if they were a nurse. You can be bothered by something, but still not let it completely control your actions. It might feel awkwardly dating someone who is a nurse, but who says I wouldn't date them period because of it. For the record, I'm not disrespecting a nurse, nor do I not appreciate what they do.

So I'm insecure because I think its seems highly feminine? Now think, why would that "turn me on"? It is what it is. Speaking of insecurities, I'm sensing bits of this throughout this thread. Mary, yes I did say that about a male gynecologist, and honestly it was mostly joking. Realistically, how could you not see how that could be bothersome to someone, if your spouse examined women's private areas daily? I mean welcome to the world of people have preferences in professions. There are always going to be SOME professions people do not like or approve of. At least I'm not saying its a total dealbreaker.

edward-e Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 i honestly dont see what the big deal is...if a girl didnt wanna date me because i was a firefighter and they said most firefighters are douchebags id just be like...w/e thats cool....

Jaytb Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 hey, don't you think there's a huge advantage to dating a male gyno? He knows more about your ho-ha than you can imagine, won't that be an, ahem, advantage?
