What do I tell girls I am majoring in.

Tell them you're studying to be a priest (seminarian). If that doesn't work, go ahead and make it the truth.

Assuming this isn't flame and you're really asking people on a physics forum what major to tell girls you're studying then I can pretty much assure you that you're not going to be able to pull off lying to them.

Why do you think you need to do that in the first place?

I can see it having a polarizing effect. They may either recoil at your weirdness or be interested and attracted to it.

E-Guy, you are going entirely the wrong way with this!
You must EMBRACE the physics within you! When a girl asks you what you major in you break out the "epic speech" moment and yell proudly, "My passion is Science! For Science is the key to everything! I will embark upon the lifelong journey to find the underlying laws of nature and rip them from her loins so that I may bring peace and prosperity to the world!" Then hold out your hand to her. "Will you join me upon this epic adventure? This amazing journey? For we shall explore it together, for all mankind."

And if she reaches for your hand, by god don't you ever let her go.

I am basing this off of, "what do I tell girls", meaning you only want sex, not relationships. So lie away, doesn't matter. You'll meet the girl you want to be truthful with one day, or probably never. But still, at least you're successful, right?

Hope that the girl you're picking up never heard of Grigorij Perelman. Otherwise she may misunderstand you.

I'd rather try something like: "Hey, baby. I'm a scientists. Do you want to see my rocket?"
Or maybe: "Wanna hear my quick lesson on Black Holes?"
Or even: "Honey, don't you mind solving a 3-body problem?"

Science works, you just have to use it right.

Since when did majoring in physics became a disreputable endeavor?

Kholdstare

This.

Not very long ago. When people started calling them nerds.

Also something related to Aero51's thread if you don't want to tell your major directly OR want to make it understandable (aero's case), tell a oversimplified, watered down version of it. Like if you are an aerospace engineer instead of saying

Tell her "I invent fast-moving planes which causes ripples in the air."

In my case I'd say something like "I take small things, modify them with other small things and put them in iPhone to make it work."

I'd expand on the physics theme and say why you're majoring in it like for its elegance at explaining the beauty of the world or that you want to help third world countries with new ideas (the gravity light...).

Besides any girl not interested in what you're doing will probably be uninteresting to you once you get to know her.

SalvaAleman

If the girls don't like you studying physics, they won't like you studying architecture, so...I don't know why you lie to them. What major you're studying isn't that important.

Lisa!

It could be important if people in some majors are known to be rich!

ChiralWaltz

Correct, there are girls who will base a relationship on money.

OP: If you want the real thing, just be honest. Read books and stay physically active.

QuarkCharmer

You mean physicists don't make a ton of money?

Guess I can stop hitting on Peng now.

Drakkith

Aww, he's gonna be sad now.

Kholdstare

Wont work unless she is a physics fad.

jedishrfu

What?

Aero51

A few days ago I made a comment regarding this subject that got a lot of people angry....The gist of my conclusions: Tell them you are a writer or an artist.
