Scientist/Engineers have to be socially unadapted? Wow but i like women to xD

[stevenb]

The average human being does not know how to develop software, therefore normal people are bad software developers.
We might be on to something here

I like your satire on logic there.

There is also the idea that a person can become abnormal as a direct result of becoming a software developer. I'm not a software guy really, but before I started using modern modeling tools for science and engineering (Matlab/Simulink, Mathmatica/Maple etc), I would write my own simulation tools in FORTRAN and C. There were periods of time when I would work for 16 hrs per day for weeks at a time to develop a simulation tool as quickly as possible. During these periods, my mind was significantly affected. I actually started to think in code, rather than my native English language. Obviously, my ability to interact with people, which isn't outstanding to begin with, was significantly impaired during these times. Honestly, it was a little scary.

Well personally i like girls, and i like them a lot and i also like math and physics and want to become a Electrical Engineer. I don't why the media portraits as if you are smart in sicience you must be dumb in social relationships. For me life is about finding balance so why can't you be balanced in that to?, comon military careers make you be in boot camp, construction workers work like 12 hours and also other kind of workers.

Wow i like science but i also like women! and i wana go for both!

So what you think?

facepalm

we really need a facepalm smiley.

in any male-dominated field it's important to remember that taking the advice from other men in the field exclusively can lead to a skewed view.

Well, as a woman in physics I must say, I noticed no exclusivity to men in the topic of discussion.
That aside, who cares about the biased media, anyway? Only sheep hang on their every word.

If you are an intelligent and fun guy, I'm sure you'll attract the same. I hope that's what you're looking for because you will get bored with your spouse real quick otherwise.
If you want a dumb bimbo, then worry... they may not be interested in an intelligent person, or you may not have much to talk about and lose interest.
If you want a partner in life, find your match and she will also realize the stupid stereotypes out there, as well.
Believe it or not, there are plenty of intelligent, fun and ATTRACTIVE women in this field, contrary to popular belief!

I believe it too, I'm not hitched like George Jones, but I'm dating one who I think I very well may marry. Looks can be found everywhere, but brains are SCARCE. I should add, compassion and wit can be scarce too, and while my girlfriend is beautiful (biased of course), it was her wit that got me first. I find that people you love and respect become more attractive as time goes on, whatever the starting point.

Scientists just don't have much to say to plebeians. Amongst their own kind, they are usually quite social and even charming.

Not to much girls in engineering =(

 

[AlexES16]

I mean really... if you had to boil down the OP down to a sengle sentence it would go like this.

"I'm a scientist, but scientists are protrayed as people who don't like girls by the media, but I like girls. What do you think?"

OP asked for opinions and I gave it. I could have just said, scientists/engineers are humans, some humans like girls, some don't. The media tends to overplay stereotypes pay no heed to it.

My original response was meant to be a light hearted mocking of threads like this, not a bashing of the OP in particular. Hance the references to in the navy and flower pressing cage fighters.

I still stand by my opinion that, I think threads that are along the lines of "Do X do Y?" are utterly ridiculous.



On that note, I do feel kind of bad about the other thread as that WAS bashing the OP. It was a fairly bad day at work and my patience was chronically thin, I was going to delete my posts when I got home but the thread was locked by that time.

If you feel that this thread is such a waste why are you looking it?? Go watch the thing yo are interested dude, btw a lot of people have posted so maybe you are just angry and werid and you are one of those loosers.

Very cunning use of insults there, well done, very cutting.

Yes you've rumbled me, I am indeed one of those stereotypes I'm afraid. I am an Engineer and I have diagrams, schematics and GA drawings of women so I know how they work and what all the parts are called. I also have diagnosis flowcharts for when I have problems with women so I know the exact solution.

For the reasons above my success with women is assured.

You should make an Iphone App that routes the diagrames for you on request. You would make a fortune

I would prefer a modified version of the program that gives me the answers to all my wife's questions, with the lowest probability of getting into trouble.

Specifications are as follows. It should have voice recognition triggered by my wife's voice. Any statement that includes my full name Steven (rather than Steve or honey or sweetie or stud-muffin), and has a questioning inflection, with harsh tone, should trigger the program. Then, the best answer should be transmitted wirelessly by Bluetooth to my earpiece, within 2 seconds.

How much will that be? I have checkbook and pen in hand right now.

You would just end with a superposition of 100%/100% getting into trouble.

According to my calculations, when this event occurs the probability that you are screwed = 1.
When your full name is used there is only one responce the program would give.

"FLEE!"

Could you at least have the program activate a magnetic field to deflect her iron skillet from hitting my backside while I'm in flight?

 

[Pattonias]

I once heard a comedian that suggested an small red light above the ear that starts to blink when you're entering dangerous territory in the argument and goes solid red 10 seconds before you hit melt down. If only...

I'd like to see some proof that there are plenty of "attractive" women in the fields mentioned.

The proof is there, but sometimes one must look at least a millimeter below the skin to find it.

If you take a millimeter of skin off every woman in the field, I'll wager there are no attractive women left

Wouldn't a restraining order be much more efficient ?

Whole new spin on the "long distance relationship". Besides, it would put sex right out the window... literally.

Ah yeah, you don't get to see her Britney no more But no more nagging :P

Hmmm... have you considered divorce or murder? Done properly I'm given to understand that both can be very effective at putting an end to nagging.

Oh boy! I said "LOOK under her skin", not skin her alive. - Hmmm, some latent psychopathic thoughts there. Maybe you should stay above the surface and just look under her clothes. That's only a misdemeanor.
