How many of you are more inclined to flirt with someone if he/she is wearing scrubs?
Discount Medical Scrubs
My boyfriend is going to nursing school, and it seems like every day he gets hit on by random women. He's a cutie, but this is getting ridiculous. They aren't just flirting with him, they are practically throwing themselves at him - today his waitress at lunch gave him a hug and told him to "come back and see me again darling." Third time this week a woman touched him without being invited to do so.(The other two times were me. Ouch. j/k.) It's a noticeable difference from how he is treated in plainclothes.
So it's got me wondering, is this a girl thing, or do men do it as much as women? Do you feel more compelled to hit on someone who is in the medical profession as evidenced by their wearing scrubs?
Plz, spare me the comments about how women are gold-diggers who just want to snag a doctor for his money. I am aware of the gold-digging phenomenon, as anyone in America would be. Besides, my BF is way too young(25) to look like a rich doctor.

Yeah, I wouldn’t think a young guy in scrubs was a doctor – I’d think he was a nurse or assistant. However, I’d still feel more comfortable hitting on him. I don’t know, there’s something comforting and approachable about a guy in scrubs. Obviously not for status or money. It’s just interesting, I guess. He probably has a lot of stories, he probably cares about people, he’s probably smart and responsible. There’s a lot of first judgements that go through your mind when you see someone in professional clothing.

He is a nurse! Nothing to be proud of. Women will deny this to no end, but they are gold diggers at heart!

Eh, as far as flirting goes (when I wasn’t married), I’d be more likely to flirt with someone in construction/fed ex type work wear.

I don’t hit on strangers. So, not me

I don’t hit on people that wear scrubs – my sister works at a pharmacy and she is cute but she never says people hit on her because of how she is dressed but she does say they hit on her because of other reasons – her smile – her humor – because she is nice.

He’s the minority. Nothing to do with his profession, if he’s around a bunch of women constantly they are bound to flirt, girls say men are wrong for flirting with the cute secretary but thats just cause shes the minority and its something different they arent use to so they’ll have their fun. If anything women are worse because girls flirting with a guy by society standards makes him extremely lucky.
Nothing to do with clothes or profession, just whos around you

NO!!! He must just be cute or flirting or whatever. Workplace is normal to meet people but presumably he wears plainclothes either when he’s with you or on the street? Not much chance of being approached by random women of course so I doubt it’s the clothes but more the venue.
They might do that if they have some sort of problem like they are mixing up being looked after with affection. This is pretty common for doctors so I would prepare yourself for more ahead. Haha. He needs to tell them to stop it. I have no idea how a random waitress could get that close to a man without him letting her. I would be less likely. I think it is pretty disrespectful to do that.
Someone in medical school isn’t actually IN the medical profession (since he could fail miserably) but I guess some desperate waitress might try her luck. I would just ignore it as it obviously doesn’t work even if she WAS a gold digger, they would be ignored so this proves how stupid the gold digging idea is and how it wouldn’t work.
