You didn't just quote Alanis Morissette did you? :yuck:

But cute, yeah, it's cute.
Oh, she didn't have a period yet back then.Proton Soup said:heh, this just sounds like the monthly kind of crazy to me.

I love 'nerdy' boys and I'm very lucky that my school is quite science and tech focused. However, a lot of them are incredibly cute and endearing but very shy and give off mixed signals. With other guys, it's fairly straight forward but I know quite a few self-professed 'dorks' that I would go out to dinner with if only they'd ask.
There have been numerous threads on what girls like in guys, but now I'm asking the opposite question; what do smart guys like yourselves like in girls? If possible, I'd be interested in opinions on or from college-aged guys. Thanks!
('Sex' is not an answer. Nice try, PF but I'm looking for more subtle points
MissSilvy said:Current junior in physics at a pretty well ranked university, but our physics department has an 11 to 1 ratio of men to women. I don't feel academically intimidated or opressed or anything but I HATE that I can't ever get along casually with my fellow students. The two girls I see sometimes and myself get along fine, but every single time I try to put together a study group or just hang out in the physics lounge with a few guys, it always turns into this awkward unreciprocated attraction. Literally, without exception so far. Which leads to poor nerdy guys working up to courage to awkwardly ask me out to get a coffee sometime and me gently saying no, but by then the friendship is shot.
This is in no way to be constructed as "Haha, I'm so good looking that everyone wants me!" because just having a pair of breasts seems to do the trick, but come on now. This situation is getting ridiculous. I don't want to date, I don't have time to date, and I am not attracted to any of them. I want a few people I can hang out with, talk about physics, and possibly moan about classes. It's going to be a lonely two years if this keeps up and I'm not looking forward to that :( Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Yes. What's wrong with chaotic flips? A real strange attractor if you ask me.EnumaElish said:What's wrong with c.d.? :rofl: Even more to the point, what's wrong with temporal dissonance?

I found high school to be the most hilarious. I spent that time watching the drama everyone else was having. People went through some very intersting phases there.EnumaElish said:We all go through phases...

No, it is perfectly logical, this thread is over a year old. Back then she wanted to attract the nerds, she got some tips and then she become a nerd magnet! Then she got bored of nerds so now she is asking how to make them stop.zoobyshoe said:https://www.physicsforums.com/newreply.php?do=newreply&p=2748163

Or she could just be moody.
BobG said:Ah, she learned the lessons from this thread too well. A little like the sorcerer's apprentice.
MissSilvy said:Christ, I'll say. A cautionary tale about getting what you ask for indeed.
Nerd sweat?MissSilvy said:True but I know I won't miss the smell :P
