What is your opinion on dating doctors? Are they considered attractive?

Question

I ask this question as a med student who is about to graduate soon. I am pretty much been single through the process which is ok. I am not expecting anything from women. However, I feel a tad insecure about my dating prospects.

I just feel like in the past it was cool to say that you were dating a doctor. It was sure fire way to know that he was financially stable. Now days, I think it is a negative. Alot of gen z, know how docs work and tend to avoid med students. There is no selling point anymore.

I say this as someone who goes on dates and the first thing women ask me is are you going to have time for me? Also how much debt are you in?

At least for me, I'm planning to go into anesthesia where I will be home by 6 daily and not take call. Heck even transition into part time if it affects my ability for children. Never saw myself being a hospital rat like a surgeon or hospitalist. Even with my ex, I use to go over her house daily after work and still had time for weekly dates. So that won't be issue.

I'm only adding that since I think that was were some of the responses are coming from. But I'm curious though, what you guys think?
