Back to the OP: loook on www.meetup.com for your zip code and go to a few activities. You will be surprised at the number of things to do. You are more likely to meet people who share an interest. And even if you "only" make new friends, it expands your possibilities.
I don't think it is because you are a physician. It could be that many of the smart, available men in your age group are incredibly busy in their careers right now and don't really have the time to date.
It's funny how some men are intimidated by highly successful women but what's interesting is that women who work lower level jobs sometimes feels weird telling a guy what she does for fear of rejection?? It's like you never know how it will pan out..I guess some men don't like women earning much more and some don't like them working less more or in a very low level job for social events reasons and so forth. It's like a catch 22 that's why some people LIE and sure the lie has a great chance of coming out but I guess for that moment when it isn't revealed it is what it is. But I think the majority of men who really love a women will take her regardless of profession but moreso for a level below him than above because of their ego.

I wouldn't care if a women made more money than me, as long as she didn't try to throw it in my face and as long as she realized that I am the man in the realtionship then it wouldn't be a problem.
by the way thanks to the posters that suggested talking to random guys. It seems to work in getting myself out my rusty dating skills.

If I limited myself to just dating physicians I'd be doing myself a disservice. MANY male physicians want a trophy wife (the last one I dated said he didn't want one but turn out he REALLY wanted a trophy wife just didn't like the tag price that comes with having one). And had no time for dating given the type of specialty he is in. Anyways, I want to try something different

With out knowing what you look like it's kind of hard determining if there's an issue there. Post a pic up and have it where friends are the only ones that can view it. It sounds like you currently date so thats probabbly not a problem? Men dating "up" being an issue? A man looking at you as from that context is probably not someone you would be interested in anyway. Most Physicians I know seem to be fairly down to earth and can carry on a wide level of topics, not just Health Care. So, unless you are just an absolute bore that's probably not an issue either. Sounds like you have a lot going for you and you just lead a busy life. I suggest you get out and socialize a little more. It will definately increase your odds.
