Why You Should Date a Doctor

There are many benefits to dating a doctor, so it’s no surprise that so many single doctor dating websites have sprung up to help you in your search for the medical professional of your dreams. These online dating sites match users based on preferences, similar to Match.com or the other more well-known services, but cater specifically to those looking for their own McDreamy. But if you’re not convinced that it’s worth the time and effort to seek one out, let’s review the many benefits or advantages of dating a doctor.

Here are the Top 10 Reasons why you should Date a Doctor

Free doctor visits : Feeling nauseous, or have an unexplained rash? Get some expert advice on your tummy trouble or sprained wrist from the doctor that you're dating! Trouble sleeping? Don’t make an appointment, simply roll over and get to work on devising a solution for all that ails you. Better yet, find one who specializes in treating pain so those minor (or major) injuries that we all deal with on a daily basis become home visits, rather than hospital stays!

Financial stability : One of the best perks of dating a doctor is their typically larger than average bank accounts. Fancy dinners, nice cars, and luxury vacations are just a Doctor away, that is, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). The 2008 median yearly wages of General Practitioners (GPs) was $186,044, while specialists made even more, at about $339,738. Salaries can vary greatly though, depending on location, years of experience, and other factors, so don’t just assume that everyone with an M.D. is richer than the Monopoly Man.

Can't gross them out : Nothing is too nasty for doctors because they’ve seen the worst of the worst. That funky skin irritation won’t send them running for the hills, in fact, they might even want to take a closer look! Due to the myriad of unpleasant things that they deal with on an everyday basis, you’d be surprised at what won’t shock them. You can rest assured that McDreamy won't be squeamish when it comes to your little medical mishaps and woes!

They're smart : They went through a lot of schooling to get here, and those who couldn’t cut it didn’t make it. We’re not talking about liberal arts educations either, but about difficult science and math classes that would make even your just slightly above average student’s head spin! Doctors must first complete an undergraduate degree in a life science or Health care-focused degree, all while studying for the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT), followed by four years in medical school, a 3 to 8-year (depending on specialization) residency at a hospital, and only then can they apply for their license to practice!

They are good listeners : Doctors are trained to listen attentively to what you have to say, and better yet, to process what they’ve been told. If you’re sick of hearing “What?”, and having to say “Don’t you remember when we discussed…?” then a Doctor may be right up your alley!

They love to fix things : Doctors are taught to fix people, but they also have a love for fixing in general. Their primary job function, and reason for being, is to problem-solve issues and return things to normal. Worried about working through relationship issues on your own? Fear not, as long as you’ve got a Doctor by your side!

Skilled at conversation : Not only are Doctors masters at explaining complicated situations, they’re also bound to come home with interesting, freaky, or just downright fascinating tales from the workplace. If you’ve heard enough of “We ran reports, serviced client accounts, and improved efficiencies” then a Doctor may be what you’re missing as there's no such thing as "just another day at the office" in the medical field!

They're committed : The endless schooling, studying, training and practicing took a lot of effort and dedication to complete. Dating a physician has many pros, but this is one of the biggest. When you find your Doctor, you know you’ve got a person who has proven that they can commit to something for the long-run, and if you can get them to dedicate that same kind of commitment to your relationship, then you’ll have nothing to fear.

Status : Love should have nothing to do with titles or salaries, but Doctors do carry a prestigious status. As highly respected members of society, upstanding members of the community, and just generally well-liked people, you’ll be riding high while standing by their side!

You can depend on them : Doctors may have to work on-call, being available at every hour of the day, which means they may be busy, but also means that they’re dependable! If you’re looking for someone that will always be there for you, no matter what, then consider finding a Doctor for your next partner, since you know they can be counted on.
