Why? I think it's a huge compliment if they decide to hang out with you for the long term.

If you are an ethnically attuned Italian-Catholic, or similar ethnicity, you really have no business living anywhere else besides the Northeast population corridor. When I go there, it's as if someone has handed me an oxygen mask. For those Italian immigrants who, in small groups, ended up in Omaha, Des Moines, and even Houston, I don't know they made a go of it.

A doctor's pool can be very limited, if he puts up stipulations, or very broad, no pun intended, if it's only a "trophy" he's after.

Well, six years later, I went back to match.com because I recently became available again.
I found this doctor and obviously he is still there on match.com

I contacted him and very quickly got a reply. I told him that I remembered him six years ago and obviously, he did not have much luck on this site, I also asked him some general questions here and there. He told me the reason he did not find anybody on this site is because he was way too picky. He said none of the dates progressed to date three.

Well, he sounds like a gentleman, but I am afraid he has some underlying issues he did not disclose. How can you be on a dating site and all the women you've seen cannot even pass the third dates. Am I wasting my time for even continuously talking to him? Your thoughts thanks


But YOU are single. Why are YOU single ?
I don't understand how people rationalize this. "I am single, and it's ok."
But when someone else is single, there must he something wrong with them!

But, a doctor on a dating website? For SIX years? Maybe he is picky, but he probably CAN be.
In six years time, he can't get past 3 dates? Something IS going on there.
Maybe he was in a bunch of relationships, but doesnt like disclosing that info. It is always a lil weird to me to discuss my dating hahits to a potential s/o. I feel like they are comparing the habits, and OVERANALYZING them.

Hi
to the one who asked the question , I have not read all 14 pages of this thread ,

but one thing comes to mind doctors are sort of married to their profession the patients come first the hours are long ,
if you get together did you think about this aspect of being with a dr ? and mind you if you meet ask him about this !

No thanks.

I've had guys tell me before they were picky and it never ended well. I think telling the opposite sex you are picky is kind of a turn off anyway.
Yes that's exactly what I mean. I have dated men who were paying child support and it becomes a serious drain and if I married him they would take what I make in consideration too. Many people think when I mention this that I am being selfish and just want him to spend on me but that's not it at all. I just want him to have money to spend on me (as I would on him)instead of this idea that he can't afford anything because of the kids and the ex. Even if the kids are grown he might still be supporting them.

We are on the same page, bro. The difference in how the communication flows with someone from an ethnic background is like night and day. When I was an undergrad at Ohio State, I would naturally gravitate to people from the Cleveland area because this is really where that northeastern ethnic cultural fabric kind of begins.

I'm a big believer in both people supporting the family but I definitely wouldn't date a man who couldn't support himself.

Aside from that, what's more important to me is education, intellect and values. I don't care if someone has a Masters in Social Work but makes $30,000 a year. Hopefully, that means she is a bright woman who also has compassion for others.
Same here. To me morals are probably the most important and why I am still single to some extent. I'm not as picky about education but I can't stand people who are of low intellect, especially if they choose to be like that.

Ethnic Clevelanders are crusty. I like that.

I went to grad school with an Italian guy from the Cleveland suburbs. Their Italian grandmother, who lived with them, was pretty crass. He had a younger brother in the military. His brother came to campus once and, to show off how butch he was, he shook your hand as if it was a wrestling match.

He was going home for Thanksgiving. I asked him if it was going to be just family. He said "Yeah. My brother's not going to be there. He's going to stay on base, to be with his girlfriend. My grandmother said 'I guess he likes pu**y more than turkey'." This guy was a blast.
