Im currently a beginning nursing student part of a fast-tracked course.
one of the reasons, that i commenced this course, firstly is for patient care, secondly to be able to one-day provide for my family and kids....which i ain't having yet...still single.
this is my point.....
still searching for Miss Right....
the question is are females at all attracted to male nurses?
or seriously should i just hush it all up, enjoy the status in the community of being a healthcare professional,
enjoy the pay, and live well...........but direct myself to a more male dominated profession for females to respect me, such as do a specialisation as a paramedic?
i just don't know, but certainly want my future female partner not to take the mickey out of me.
is it just better to mebbe, focus on other healthcare professionals as potential partners, as they would be more understanding.
romantically challenged.........a tough question.......would respect anyone with some input....because this one
is a thorn in my side.....i sometimes feel that my masculinity is being threatened in the eyes of other females...
that need to compensate in other areas such as ....ambulance volunteering (which I love!)...or doing house renovations and DIY projects (which I also enjoy for the relaxation of it all).
The reason why I said that comment was because it seemed creepy to me? She said one little thing, then you wrote a full page on that comment. Not really trying to be an ass. We're guys man, no hard feelings... Doesn't take much effort to attract women really. I think that if you can attract women @ school, street, parties/clubs then you can attract women anywhere no matter what you are... I know MALE hair stylists who are straight up players with women.
By the way I will have my LPN license by this year and my RN within the next 1 1/2 yrs.
And you know what, failure IS a great teacher. I know first hand :)

I want to semi retire in Australia, I have never been and hope to one day, but I have a few friends I know that live there. One lives in Bondi Beach. My kids look at me like I have a third eye when I try to tell them we are moving there.

As a woman that has met a great deal of creepers, it didn't seem creepy to me, it seemed lighthearted and fun to go along with the post he was responding to. That is just how I saw it.

I couldn't agree more with you.
OP, I wouldn't really listen to Futurenurse... there is nothing cool, or admirable about being a "player". Players may get a lot of women but for what? Probaly just sexual encounters with few lasting relationships. Just be yourself and it will attract the right people.
Yep, just be yourself... You won't get as many women as most other men but the ones you do attract will be more precious then gold!
Good Luck!
p.s. I find your humility refresing and inspiring!
The whole idea of what mascalinity (spelled wrong) is in our society is so contrived and not grounded in any real wisdom whatsoever. Our society says that a man is someone who acts tough but I view it as pathetic because everyone will get frail and weak one day and the true strength is really in the meek and humble. A real man is one who cares for his wife and fathers his children... lots of men these days act hard but don't stand by their familys and that, in my book, makes them cowards and beyond any level of weakness I can even describe.
I am going to go on a type of rant here because this issue is pretty close to my heart...
In our modern society, 50% of marriage ends in divorce and this is a relatively recent phenomena. There was a time when divorce was practically unheard of and to even have one was very much taboo in American society but now, in our age, if you get married chances are it will end in divorce.
I believe that this is not only do to the fact that our culture is becoming more selfish and self-serving. If something doesn't work we throw it away and try again with something new, we don't endure anymore and become lazy to working our differences in our relationships. I also think that our whole attitude of what "a good catch" is has completely changed.
Most people in our society are initially attracted to someone by their confidence and I have always found this to be so silly and lacking any real common sense. Confidence has become a very thin veil for pride these days and we are all attracted to it because we are raised to believe that pride is a good thing (which it is not!). To say you are attracted to someone for their confidence is a transulation to me of: "Well, I am so insecure with myself and can't think for myself so I will let your confidence decide how I feel about you before even knowing you". How does that determine a persons character? Any jack ass can act confident, it dosen't mean anything other then they think highly of themselves.
How often to you hear people say, be good to those around you and women will see it as a virtue and pay attention to you? Never. Or how often will a women judge your character on how you speak to your mother and the type of respect you show her? Never. But if you show yourself to be a confident (even when you are just as weak, frail and vulnerable as every other person on the planet but to afraid to show it) you are held in high regard. So many people are so are to superficial themselves so they can't see through how people portray themselves to see what is on the INSIDE; they don't see the possible ******* in the confident person or the possible loyal soulmate in the awkward, shy person
You would think people would re-think their standards of finding mates but very few understand the difference between being smart and being wise. So people will continue to be attracted to how a person acts around you and the "energy" they give off rather then what is truly in their hearts and who they REALLY are as people. So that is why you see so many single mothers... their mates were very confident but they were not able to see they they were really just good actors and they could not see through the terribly fearful and weak people they really were.
I feel bad for the confident people. They get lots of women but they don't embrace how really empty they are on the inside on how utterly void their life is of real meaning. If they were humble they would see this and look for the true value and beauty in life but they already feel content. So they fill their life up with women and parties but they don't understand that life is short and YOUTH is even shorter. One day they will get to the mid point of their life and go through a "Crisis" because they see they are one step closer to their true frail nature and they have not sought out the real things in life that matter; family and love towards one another... so their life is without meaning.
When will we wake up and start embracing wholesome characteristics; humility, gentleness, kindness, BOLDNESS and love. If you look for those things you will find good mates and marrages that last but people now adays are blind to what is important and they refuse to see.

Sometimes it takes us girls a while to learn, I have done the bad guy jackass persona more time then I could count, I have turned away the good guy because he was to nice. I have learned. Next relationship I am going for a NICE GUY LOL I got the T shirt on the other type and don't need another one. It took me a while to get there though.

Great responses guys:D
brb, have a hot date.
Just remember, herpes is the gift that keeps on giving.
Lord I hope people know I am messing around and they should rarely take me serious unless it's a serious topic. I don't know how to not joke around, it's not in my DNA

I have to disagree with you... I've often been told to look for a caring guy because it's a virtue. And I think most women see how a guy treats his mother as a sign as to how he will be with you and potential future kids. This is something most women will notice right away. As for confidence, yes it's a plus. But you can see a difference between fake confidence and real confidence. It's attractive when a guy knows he's a good guy, but knows how to be humble about it too (over-confidence is worse than awkwardness in my opinion). Or when he knows what he wants in life. It's not so attractive when a guy second guesses his career choice based on what women might think. Who cares? If it's what you want to do, do it. Like I said before, there are other factors that play into this obviously, since I've been with shy awkward guys before, so obviously they did something right.
To mi vida loca, sharing is caring ! jk . I am a nice confident guy who doesn't feel the need to display a fake jackass persona. Cmon now that is so bs. I laugh at guys like that. Im a people person, i make conversation with everybody . I volunteer for a hospice organization , and also help with kids who are less fortunate. What im saying is i'm definitely a nice guy who attracts women, anywhere and everywhere. No fake a hole persona needed. I am successful because I enjoy life, love to give and this makes me naturally confident. Feels good:)
ha, most male nurses (if they like women) have no probs getting women, outside of work and through work (another advantage of being male in a female dominated workplace).
