Honestly, i don't find it to be much of a surprise. The guy was probably moderately attractive and decently successful with girls (no more than 2-3 month dry spells after the age of 18)- and this isn't THAT difficult to achieve if you talk to enough girls. Now couple on the fact that he's a doctor making strong 6 figure salaries, and that most of these girls are starting to get bored of their marriages/they know their looks are going downhill they need to upgrade their situation by snagging a top dog like him. I highly doubt getting an MD would make a socially awkward guy who never got laid before suddenly a stud, but it will definitely increase your dating prospects. OKCupid data showed that the #1 wanted profession for men is physician. Not lawyer, not investment banker, physician. The former two have the money and prestige, but doctors can still save your life. Also, the "snagging" doctors thing is more common than you think. A close female friend of mine (shes a bad betch too) told me all these girls know they need to snag a provider before they get old, so medical students/residents/attendings, its all fair game. Now the depressing reality is that there are plenty of guys who will fall for this **** and end up the beta provider for a trickle of guaranteed pus through obligatory sex... on the flipside, if you can juggle multiple of these individuals simultaneously and give them enough attention to make them think you want to be that provider, then its pus galore.
