Dating for Finance Guys: Date Bad; Marry a Med Student?

alright so at the end of our ridiculous spending, bar hopping, hooker fucking, model ravaging (the female kind of models), binge while working in finance, there will come the time for a serious long term relationship, that might/might not lead to marriage.

my opinion? all ambitious high-earning finance guys should date a med school chick and if things go well, stay with her through residency (or better yet, find a chick who's already doing her residency) and after she lands her first MD job, settle down with her.

what do you guys think? dont end up like one of the chumps who settle for his secretary because he's so godamnn career-oriented he never has time to find someone he really likes.

i mean, looking at some of these pictures, med school chicks are quite cute, to my surprise. i always thought they were the dorky pimply types back in college who studied 24/7.

alright bitches, links deleted. was just some public websites for univ. florida's class of 2013 page. nothing explicit :P

 
ivoteforthatguy:
dated medical chicks. even an md/phd at a top "target." they are psycho bitches. no more for me, you can have them all.

lol how were they psycho? like, any different from regular psycho women? (there are PLENTY of non-medical psychos in NYC here). was it their erratic schedule or just the personality of medical chicks that make them psycho?

never dated anyone in medicine so am curious :D

 

This is extremely fucking creepy. Unfortunately I don't think these people would date someone who isn't allowed within 200 feet of a school, so consider yourself out of their league.

Very different, those are models, you are supposed to do creepy shit with their pictures.

I like how he plotted out dating them through residency.

Like they would be guilted into marrying him, because he stuck through the tough times.

just busting your balls dude...

If I disagree with you, it's because you're wrong.
 
cold pizza 2:
how exactly are you going to "find" this med chicks?

what is your plan, here?

i want to eventually go into healthcare hedge funds as i'm currently working on my MPH part time and right now we're working with a large pharma company about investing in some new research that employs a shit ton of med school researchers so theres that too. im not going to seek them out....but in the coming years i'll be bumping into a lot of med school chicks so i just wanted to get everyone's perspective about that

 
marcellus_wallace:
I have known/dated med school chicks, they are nuts. You can not be good looking, female, smart, hard working and sane. Just not possible. This is the same with those few decent looking female engineers who become PMs at Google/Microsoft. Again nuts...

Is it possible then to be good-looking, female, smart, sane, and lazy?

More is good, all is better
 
TheKing:
I find that, generally, people on this site and people who fetishize careers in finance have such shitty ideas for what life is all about.

Lol dude why if you are just going to marry a girl because of her job/career then I pity your relationship.

I know my uncle who married a doc and he was at a HF, he married her because he wanted a back up in case his fund blew up. Well his relationship lasted 3 fucking weeks........ I personally dont give a jack shit what my girl does.

Use that brain of yours and please dont spend that analyst bonus on a ring for a girl you dont give a shit about ( my uncle did, fucked his life over )

if you are marrying a physician chick for prestige, it's ok, just come out and say it. if she is cute, all the better, right?

you young guys on the prestige race will learn very soon that it is all bullshit. trust me, prestige used to be important to me, but not in late life but in early life -- i'm talking mid 20s -- you will realize that it's mostly air.

marry a schoolteacher, if you must, or some woman who works with blind kids. but a finance chick or a physician chick, no fucking way. first, physicians have this complex that what they are doing is way more important than anything you are doing if you are not a physician, so she will make no compromises for you unless you are a huge BSD making tens of millions in which case why the fuck are you not banging victoria's secret models? second, two type A stressballs in the same house = fighting all the time. you can look at your prestigious CVs as consolation when you are sleeping on the couch, pissed off at your SO and wondering what the fuck went wrong in your life, but by the time that happens the whole logic of what i am writing here will already make sense.

This.

If you study the healthcare industry, you learn pretty quickly that a lot of doctors are crooks and actually don't add that much value (possibly surgeons aside). But that said, they have this holier than thou fucking attitude like they have the most important job on the planet. I want to punch most doctors in the face.

DO NOT marry a career-focused type-A woman, especially if you want to have kids. If you're committed to a front office finance role, you need a woman who is going to take care of the other aspects of your life, like home and the kids. An ex teacher, nurse or chef who wants to drop out of the rat race or something like that would be perfect. Avoid lawyers, doctors and finance girls at all costs. You can bang them, but never get serious with them.

And avoid fucked up American girls (most of them). Foreign girls are the way to go. If they come from Asia or Eastern Europe or LatAm, their standard of living and expectations will be really low. If you're pulling coin and treat them even fairly well, they feel like they have hit the lotto and will love the shit out of you. They also know how to be feminine and are less likely to become fat hogs like their American counter parts.

 

^^^^^ correct sir,

Since I want to be in HF/AM investment idea side, I dont want to marry a girl who stresses out, if anything I would want ot marry a masseuse, give me back rubs all day and night not a thing in the world to worry about..... Its kinda weird though my GF wants to be a athletic trainer she fixes our college's football team up. If she decides to do this in the pro basketball,football areas, we get 80% off of tickets for decent seats where ever she is a trainer, and we get to meet the players :D

Well then I again I love Football soo much that I want to coach high school football when I get older, it is my dream!

I agree with what was said above. I don't give a fuck what job my girl has as long as she's hot and we're compatible. I don't see wtf makes a med school chick so attractive to you. Admiring a girl's ambition, intelligence, and accomplishments != love.

 

You can find a GF that is good-looking, smart, sexy, chill and ambitious, but the trick is that you have to be that way as well.

Thought about throwing the lyrics out there, but you beat me to it.

You're all wrong with this Medical School chick thing. Date a girl that goes to a top NP/PA program. She'll make less, sure, but won't be saddling you with 300k in debt the second you're stupid enough to put a ring on it.

haha yea, sorry you guys are correct I forgot the " feat. Luda" I actually remember his voice in it too. My B.

Still a great line

Went out recently with med school girl - don't understand why everyone is trashing them, she was great. I think it's a bad idea for a banker to marry a doctor long-term because as someone earlier said - two type A personalities who are really into their careers can only end up badly. But if you're an analyst and you want a girlfriend, a girl in med school is going to be one of the rare people that CAN handle your hours - because hers are almost as bad.

Bottom line is I think you need a girl long-term with a brain that is equivalent to yours - and while doctors may not be the best bet because there's no possible way your kids wouldn't be messed up due to getting 0 attention, you can definitely do a lot worse. There are many successful doctor-doctor marriages that I'm aware of, so doctor-banker isn't that crazy.

Yea bro I was not saying that marrying a doc is bad. It was more so marrying a girl JUST because she is a Doc is just pathetic in my opinion.

Seriously? you are randomly deciding you want to marry a chick who works in healthcare? Not based on her personality.. or even looks? And making a thread about this? I can't tell if you guys take life for what it is, and not some forum warrior prestige race.

 

Honestly, you are going to love, marry and live a long time with a girl just because she is a doctor or just because her expectations for gifts and other shit is low? Really I would just man up and pay up if I honestly love her for HER personality, looks, and values. Otherwise why have one right? To make kids?

I understand maybe some of the not marrying type A stuff, but honestly having a career minded women would be beneficial in some ways too. 1 BIG example, which you all are forgeting, is that why the fuck would she date/ marry someone that works fucking 100 weeks to make 500k when dentists that run their own shops make that much in half the time?..... A career minded women would understand why you work that much and might actually be more understanding to the work situation.......I maybe just get how someone can place limits on love ( I am going to only love a Doc). I mean do you guys jizz when you a girl doc feel a patients pulse?

Maybe I am just being naive and narrowed minded, but Personally I will love whomever I have the feeling with even if she is a artist or some shit like that.

Haha if you think diamonds are scarce.

Diamonds are actually quite rare in the past but not any more. While it's true that the process of extracting diamond is quite laborious (mines move many tons of dirt per carat of diamond found) and that gem-quality diamonds are relatively few (only about 1 in 1 million diamonds are quality one carat stones, only 1 in 5 million are 2-carat; and 1 in 15 million are 3-carat), diamonds are not rare in an economic sense because supply exceeds demand. (Photo: mafic [Flickr])

To maintain the high prices of diamonds, De Beers creates an artificial scarcity: they stockpile mined diamonds and sell them in small amounts.

Perhaps De Beers chairman Nicky Oppenheimer said it best: "diamonds are intrinsically worthless, except for the deep psychological need they fill." (mental_floss, vol 7 issue 6, p. 21 "Diamond Engagement Rings" by Rebecca Zerzan)

http://www.neatorama.com/2008/12/01/10-facts-about-diamonds-you-should-…

Not truly rare.

All I am saying is that I will like/love a girl for her personality/looks not her profession or ethnicity. Also whats wrong with wanting to spoil your girl with something nice. I mean thats why you are in banking no? Also you want girls who dont care about ANY materialistic things right? Well then they wont care about how much money you make. How will you justify to them why you are in the business for making money when you come home at 2 A.M., and they are waiting for you?

Another point, you didnt fully understand my post. I was just attempting to refute the point that someone would pick a girl to marry based on her profession and cheapness ( I am not saying marry a gold loving- bitch). I just mentioned that you are going to marry a latino girl JUST because she is cheap then I would rather pay for another girl whom I actually have feelings for.

But most girls ( lots of them nice) like getting things. I am the same way I want prestige, money, a nice car, nice house, a mil a year salary and a great life, do you think my personality is flawed because of that?

Seems like you should be worrying more about something other than tickets...

 

when i was a young guy all i wanted in a woman is a great set of cans and legs that go all the way up.

seeing these comments is very nostalgic. i kinda miss that way of thinking about women because it is so simple and pleasant. but at the same time i am glad i never acted on it by marrying some chick who met such a short list of criteria because that surely would have ruined my fucking life. ive got pals in my age cohort who are already multiply divorced. some even have little brats they have to deal with in family court and shit. and i'm not THAT old.

boys, enjoy yourself, but keep the ring off for as long as possible. marriage is a necessary evil for those who don't want their kids to grow up bastards. women are more dangerous than shotguns. don't blow your own heads off doing stupid things.

so you're saying don't get married until you have to, and when you do make sure they have all the necessary "wife" qualities? Not just hot...

^^^ valid point.... but I dont want to get up the morning after our honeymoon thinking to myself.... what did I get myself into..... She doesnt have to be as hot as a model or anything just fit, beautiful and nice thats all.

Straight people talk. #boring

 

OP, I took your advice and immediately went out and started dating a doctor in Boston.

Ok, I just saw this thread, but my current girlfriend is a doctor so this entire discussion made me laugh....I've only dated one doc previously (and not seriously) and I think they all have a bit of Type A in them, but that isn't a bad thing if they are motivated / not lazy.

Plus, compared to my past girlfriends, my current one seems super normal / well adjusted...

Marriage still scares the shit out of me but I'm 31 and don't want to wait until I'm 40 to start having kids...so that is the tough part.

thanks

IMO, not as many finance/economics/recruitment/interview help-focused threads as there used to be. Now, we have more of this pointless stuff.
