[QUOTE="Thomas the Rhymer, post: 1121420, member: 2808"] A very serious problem. One problem among doctors is that we get so engrossed in our work, that we struggle to talk about anything but work. So we struggle to game and relate to women who are not in medical fields. So many doctors end up marrying other doctors or nurses or other healthcare workers, which is a nightmare because then you never get away from talking shop; it's like extra homework you have to when you should not be thinking about work. The divorce rate in these match ups is apparently high, because outside of work, the couple never really makes a deeper connection. Also, Maslow's hierarchy is real. Basic human psychology means that you will not feel job satisfaction unless your 'lower' urges are met first. I was in that same boat once, a 27 year old virgin who just didn't care about work much anymore. I quit full-time work and worked very hard to try and get laid. It was difficult for me, because I had very poor social intelligence (I still struggle to understand people) and approaching girls was hard work, especially in the beginning. But once I started having regular sex, medicine became a lot more fun, and I could return to my medical career with enthusiasm. Once your base needs are fulfilled, your mind and body will give you permission to enjoy other things. I think part of the reason that you are resistant to further training in medicine right now is because you know that you will end up studying in most of your free time, and you will work ridiculously long hours, and there will be no time/energy left left to chase chicks. Deep down inside, you know you need to satisfy your basic urges before continuing with career development. Anyway, I might be projecting my own personality onto you, so I might be wrong with what I said above, but that is what I suspect is really bugging you. [/QUOTE]
