Blaming God ( Sort Of )

Unlike most of these other lucky guys, I NEVER had an attractive woman doctor or nurse to perform any of my checkups or exams as a youth. I always got stuck with old / ugly / cranky / nerdy dudes. What a buzzkill.

I often wonder if God or some other higher power did that to me deliberately, either to keep my mind "pure", or to keep me from acquiring a medical fetish that might have taken over my whole life.

Say what? Female physicians are like everyone else. Who cares if they're attractive when what really matters is their expertise and caring. Bring god into it ? Are you for real?

Did you pray to GOD may be next time you may get lucky?......... 😮

The solution to your problem seems simple enough. Don't choose an old, ugly, cranky, nerdy dude as your doctor! There, problem solved. Seriously, there are any number of ways to find out about all of the doctors in a particular practice (there's this thing called the Internet). Using those tools, you can find a doctor that not only is competent and can take care of your personal health issues, but may be more in line with the kind of doctor that you'd prefer to have handling your private parts.

God has nothing to do with it. It just takes a bit of extra effort on your part to do some research up front. Good luck in your search.

Many of us had the old cranky and buzzard attracting (ready to die themselves) physicians as children. We did not have much choice. As an adult you have the right to choose your own doctor. Yes God really does act in mysterious ways but God also empowers us to make decisions. Having that said I do hope you are not choosing vanity over competentcy

Actually, I'm both half-joking and half-serious.

I often have a wry and cynical sense of humor, but at the same time I do believe in a higher being that often controls things.

Never having a female physician during adolesence is just another example of the total lack of physical interaction I had with the opposite gender when I was a teen. No slow dances, no making out in a dark movie theater, no skinny dipping at an isolated lake, no playing "doctor" or "spin the bottle", no hot chickie sitting in my lap on a crowded school bus or in a packed car, and no exam by an attractive lady doc either.

I completely missed the boat when it comes to all those normal adolescent rite-of-passage life events. I have a great deal of anger and resentment over what I missed. Sometimes that anger and bitter disappointment comes out, such as in this post.

It's so much simpler not to believe in anything supernatural.

If you don't believe in something supernatural, you can't say you got fucked or something was deliberately done to you. All you can say is things just worked out that way, which by the way, is exactly what happened.

That may be so. But the rest of your life starts TODAY! Right now, you are in total control and can make your own decisions. Go out and find the kind of doctor that you want (hopefully extremely competent and not just good looking) and schedule an appointment with them. It's really that simple.

I went through the same shit as a teenager. I was a troubled kid who drank a lot of beer, did drugs and caused much trouble wherever I went. A leather jacketed punk rocker with a lot of unchecked anger. I spent 3 months in juvenille detention and had very few friends. I was fortunate enough to have a smoking hot doctor who specializes in Adolescent Medicine who cared a about me.

Now that piques my interest a lot. I'm envisioning your smoking hot doctor giving you a complete and mandatory exam as you're being admitted to juvenile detention. That sounds like the making of a new thread. 😃

I had an adolescence just as bereft of interaction with the opposite sex as you did. Tough titty. It only made being a student at UC Berkeley that much better. I wasn't a punk like Turkent but I certainly wished I had been.

I do have a good-looking lady doctor now ( East Indian, early 40s ) . The first time I met her last summer she was seriously overbooked. She showed up nearly an hour late. She was very friendly, but was slightly frazzled and nearly out of breath. I actually felt bad for her. She checked my lymph nodes, eyes, ears, and heart, but that was about it. After a warm goodbye she rushed off to her next appointment.

I did have a good looking Asian female doc who found the variocele on one of my sperm cords, but I was too worried about the repercussions of that to enjoy either the exam or the ultrasound afterwards. Junior stayed asleep the whole time- LOL. It's just not the same when you're a tired and jaded adult, as when you're a naive and wide-eyed youth.

Turkent- I guess that means you were a Misfits fan? I've got three of their albums- Legacy Of Brutality, Walk Among Us, and American Psycho ( without Glenn Danzig ) .

Actually I remember that particular exam as being rather brief and uneventful. Anything else and I would be ostracized for BS. This room is a tough crowd. Juvenile lock up is far more concerned about contraband and safety. I saw the smoking hot doctor once a year for a complete physical.

Not to reveal my true age but I was a hippie in San Francisco in the summer of love. I saw Cream, Hendrix and of course all the local Bay Area bands too. It seemed as if it would last forever but oh no. Thank god (sic) it didn't.

Misfits, X, Ramones, Sex Pistols. Yup. liquidsky you do not want what one once of what I went through. I may be healed but the scars never fade.

WOODSTOCK! The summer of 1969.

My parents were there! I was months old and was dropped off at my grandparents for several days so they could attend!

I can't say I remember being at my grandparents or my parents going anywhere, but they have told stories that would make people cringe.

You know what? Most guys are ugly, creepy, weird etc etc too! But thats not gods fault! If the guy is fun, ill give him a chance, if not, I blame no one but different interests!

Amen ~

In my life experience and in my work most people are ugly, stupid, heartless and not very attractive. What counts are a good heart, a fine mind and a sense of humor. I love members of both sexes who have these characteristics.

I'm dyslexic so I prey( sic) to Dog!

Did you hear about the agnostic, dyslexic, insomniac? Used to lie in bed all night, contemplating the existence of Dog.

Right now, you are in total control and can make your own decisions.

No offense meant, but telling someone they are in total control is very very exaggerated. No one is in total control of their life since there are always antecedents and experiences that have shaped us and over which we had no say or way to change them. There are also outside influences that limit and channel our social and individual options.

Telling someone they are in total control is really off-putting and a downer. It implies that whatever has happened to them, especially the bad things, is their fault and their fault only.

It's not helpful.

Now of course everyone's problems can't be fixed, and some people are to blame for bad decisions they've made, but to imply that (all) problems are their own fault is sort of like rubbing salt into a wound. I think it's better to just say that life is a series of random events, especially at the start, and that people in the main just have to row with what they've got.

Btw - I thought the original post was rather ironic and funny. Sort of like a line out of a Woody Allen movie.

Ha ha ... a few years later I was edging towards the same, more like a wannabe hippie though ... and then in Amsterdam. Sleeping in the Vondel park, going to Paradiso and walking the Walletjes ... fun while it lasted ...

I was referring to his complaint that he never engaged in what he thought was normal adolescent behavior when he was growing up. If he feels that he didn't have the opportunity growing up to experience certain things, he can remedy some of that now. In other words, he's in total control over what he does or doesn't do from this point forward -- no blaming his parents for forcing him to behave a particular way.

ILuvLadyDocs, It was your mother, not God. She did not want you to know about attractive women at an early age. If your father had chosen your doc, it might have been different. But again, in the past, there simply were a lot more male docs. That is changing now.

Then there was the dyslexic Highway Patrolman who pulled over the young blond for driving erratically. He wrote her a ticket for an I.U.D.

A man who was given to making spoonerisms robbed a bank. "Listen you mother stickers this is a fuckup"

The level of discourse (humour) appears to be going down hill in this thread

Guilty as charged

To go back to the original topic I wonder what makes the OP think he's entitled? Free will, man, that's the only hope we have in an arbitrary and largely unsympathetic universe. As Albert Camus said in his most cynical book the Stranger, "I resign myself to the benevolent indifference of the universe ". This said by the protagonist as he is lead out to be guillotined. I always thought it was malignant indifference myself.
