I have gone to multiple dates for the past month since I broke up with my boyfriend. But everytime I disclosed to them that I am a doctor, they all backed off. Guys, are you that insecure? I can be book smart but I live my life as you guys too. And most of them think I am too good for them although they make similar salary as mine. And most of them think I have no life outside the hospital. Like, come on

And my ex boyfriend seems to think so too that's why I dumped him.

Enlighten me please. This has been boggling me for quite some time. Yes, I am ready to date again and if the guy is suitable for me then why not. But I am not desperate for bf either. I am just wondering whether this kind of problem will bother me again when I am ready for another serious relationship

DISCLAIMER: I started this thread looking for guys' opinions. Nothing more than that

As I read on, I discover more and more butthurt replies. Why? Your 2" worth of ego felt challenged ka? Lel

you need to be quite smart in order to survive a medical course..

try getting in if you're non muslim, see if you can even get in ..?

well quitters can't have any credibility on someone who have managed to be come a doctor ? at least she is accredited by her peers..not like u who can't stand up to competition .

so what ever BS u just took the time to explain remains bull shit lar.

do you understand my point?
great results correspond to studying hard, not smart since results are usually based on memorization and repetition of techniques

bringing up race and entry is irrelevant TO MY POINT

Rongximedical field itself is very broad as well.

but...well why are we comparing an entity called intelligence that you couldn't really gauge or measure... unless you are talking about IQ then i got a schoolmate whose parents sell wantan mee is a mensa society member (school sent him there due to his math achievement) but he is currently making dough at home... *mensa gauges both memory and logic.

you need to be quite smart in order to survive a medical course..

you're derailing but oh well
it's unfair to compare doctor title to other professions since others choose to pursue different path and acquire different set of skills (due to maybe different interest or any other reasons not necessarily because they are incapable)
it's like comparing a cyclist to a swimmer. a cyclist can cycle faster than the swimmer. but if you put the cyclist in the water, he's nothing special

so you should compare her with people of the same profession in terms of intelligence. Is she the best in her field? or just average?
