Hopeful30 Posted July 11, 2021 Posted July 11, 2021 From my perspective, being a doctor is attractive for the following reasons. One, I'm a doctor myself, so I appreciate a man who also dedicates his skills to serving others. Two, it means he is educated and smart. And three, it means he makes money. All attractive qualities.

You don't have to be a doctor to find that attractive. I think that every woman would agree with you on the merits of why a doctor is attractive. The question is, would you date a guy just because he's a doctor? OP seems to think that the mere utterance of said profession has the panties flying off! 1

I keep asking the OP that, and he keeps not answering. 2

Maybe he just wants to get laid and who cares if the women are shallow, superficial, status conscious. If that's the case OP, then don't know what to tell ya, except lie and say you're a doctor. Hell, tell them you're the man in the moon if it will get you laid. But not comfortable with that advice even though I realize it's not uncommon. Agreed. If OP is just looking to get laid, perhaps saying he a doctor might get one or two additional floozies over the line. Having said that, unless said floozy is actually looking to escalate a night of frivolity into something more serious, why would it matter what profession he was? Does one sleep with a doctor just because he's a doctor? I would have thought the attraction would come from retaining him for the long term. 1

Apparently you're more likely to succeed with said woman if you say you're a doctor.

Alpacalia Posted July 11, 2021 Posted July 11, 2021 Yes OP. It almost sounds as though an interest in furthering a medical education lies squarely on the fact that it will produce an outcome that has little to do with the actual profession. As it stands, what do find rewarding about your career?

Lotsgoingon Posted July 13, 2021 Posted July 13, 2021 My father worked around doctors, knew a ton of doctors, tried to get me to become a doctor. I had no interest. Later, when my parents got older and started to get sick, I began to arrange their doctor's appointments and I learned a lot about their conditions. So I realized, I actually like doctors. I get along with them well. I am great at researching and picking doctors for myself and was so for my parents (now gone). The last word I would use the describe doctors is "sexy." Having met a bunch, I can say for sure that doctors are no more sexy than teachers, lawyers, business executives, salesmen, store managers, carpenters, construction managers, security guards, chefs, cooks, hamburger salesmen, psychics, ministers, flim-flam artists, thieves, firefighters, paramedics, police officers.
d0nnivain Posted July 13, 2021 Posted July 13, 2021 Accountant, undertaker, garbageman (forgive the sexism I can't think of the gender neutral term), insurance adjuster, etc are not "sexy" glamourous jobs but like nurse or nurse practitioner they are all good paying positions evidencing a solid work ethic. You want to date somebody with a sexy job like reporter, airline pilot, doctor, trial lawyer, FBI agent, actor, musician, etc you are going to have to contend with all the unwanted attention & temptation that comes with that, plus all the time the person won't be home. Give me reliable & industrious over "sexy" when it comes to job titles any day. 2

To me, it's not the "profession" that's sexy, it's the "man" who is sexy. I spent last Wed night in the ER and a male nurse practitioner (a grade above an RN) treated me, and gotta say he was damn sexy! I actually thought at first he was a doctor, till we got talking and discovered he was a NP. Didn't make a bit of difference to me. Again, it's the MAN, not the profession, imo.

CaliforniaGirl Posted July 13, 2021 Posted July 13, 2021 I think we'd be kidding ourselves to say there's nothing sexy about a confident person saying "I'm a doctor," it's just that if the person was turned off and ignoring this "doctor" beforehand, then suddenly lit up when the profession was announced, then obviously - that person just isn't actually attracted to you. The OP wants what he wants. There's only one answer: if the OP wants women to drop their pants because he says he's a doctor, even if they were initially turned off at the very sight of him, LOL, then, well...he has to go back to school and become a doctor. I mean really...what else is there to say? 2

But this isn't what the OP wants - a quality relationship/attraction. He JUST literally wants women to drop their pants BECAUSE he says he's a doctor. That's all. This would be reasonable advice for someone seeking a relationship, or an attraction to the person as a whole person, etc. 3

Lotsgoingon Posted July 14, 2021 Posted July 14, 2021 Undertakers have amazing stories about how families cope with illness and death, fight at funerals, fight over wills, reconcile, heal ... Tons of great stories for any undertaker to share. The technical stuff--you don't even have to get to that. But as far as having a front-row seat to humans under pressure, you couldn't beat an undertaker. 2
basil67 Posted July 14, 2021 Posted July 14, 2021 Technical stuff is interesting too. A good read is Smoke Gets in your Eyes by Caitlin Doughty. She does good youtube vids on the topic too. 1
Lotsgoingon Posted July 14, 2021 Posted July 14, 2021 I agree: I was at breakfast with a guy I know a few years ago. I knew him as a salesman. Well in previous life, he was an undertaker. OMG, he answered all these great technical questions I had. I've lost five close relatives in the past ten or so years. And technical issues came up in some of the discussions around their deaths and burials/cremations. 1

I gave up giving such advice when the OP said I was missing the point. His point is that he feels that saying one is a doctor is much more panty-dropping inducive than saying he's a nurse. So, he really only has one choice. Go back to school and become a doctor. 1
Wiseman2 Posted July 17, 2021 Posted July 17, 2021 (edited) So much for those firefighter calendars. Come to think of it never heard of a doctor calendar. Edited July 17, 2021 by Wiseman2
basil67 Posted July 17, 2021 Posted July 17, 2021 Perhaps OP could requalify as a paramedic? A man in uniform is a very attractive thing.
