Ok, that is very true too. We don't want a loser,
Then you have fashion, like Cyrus said and so on and so on and so on.
I don't particularly think girls look at fashion but it surely does help. I like to look good, so that's why I do it. I like to keep my room clean and the list goes on.
The biggest thing is to have good character. Some math majors say that being a math major is a turn off for girls. Really? Most girls I met liked it. First, they think I'm smart. Second, they're like... he's smart and fun. And third, he's passionate about what he does. I show that I love mathematics and how beautiful it really is. That's why I'm studying it. That's me. That's part of my life. I'm not doing it because I'm uncertain, I'm doing it because I love it.
Essentially, you have amongst the top 3 things already that girls look for in a guy, in terms of character and such. And the list builds on because (read psychology) smart can be associated with responsible, well-brought up, and fun as open minded and adventurous, and passionate as emotionally alive!
So really, it's a win win scenario. The only time being a math major is a turn off is when you come off as someone who's lacking confidence, insecure, and so on. Then you fall directly in the category of what girls think of math people... not good.
But when you come off as confident, euthiastic and such, it throws them off a little. Girls like that.
I rarely put a girl in a position to ask me what program I'm in or whatever at the beginning of the conversation. It usually happens later when she's got interest. I remember one time my friend was kind of annoyed of the question or something, not sure. I guess he was thinking it was going nowhere. So, like usual, I think let's have fun. I tell her to guess mine... obviously way off. They always guess something like business (popular). Then I'm like.. "Let me guess your program. But first, you need to spin around so I can get a good look of you, and make a good guess." Haha, my friend liked that. I even stopped her half way. ;) And after that, how bad your guess is never really matters. If you get it right, bonus points... why? Read psychology. Exercise of the day.
