It's one of the few chances there are to hit on other physicists. You're so hot you make plasma look like liquid nitrogen
What kind of parties do you guys have?

Physicists, mathematicians, and engineers often engage in drinking at parties, with activities like playing Mao and Texas Hold 'Em being popular. While physicists are noted for their pool skills, engineers are described as primarily drinking. The conversation reveals a mix of party experiences, from casual gatherings with movies and snacks to themed events like "Mars parties" and "punch parties," where attendees bring drinks. Some participants express a preference for quieter social interactions over traditional parties, highlighting a divide in social preferences among scientists. The discussion also touches on the social dynamics of partying, with some participants feeling out of place or preferring non-drinking activities. Overall, the thread illustrates the varied and often humorous ways that scientists socialize, emphasizing the blend of intellectual camaraderie and casual fun.

lol, it is normal to a physicist to get drunk (I mean not too drunk) once a week?
Neumann had a great social life.

physicists are people who think it is cool to serve pure alcohol at parties, with maybe grapefruit juice, as i recall.
mathematicians on the other hand as i have mentioned hardly know what parties are.

Is this another thread where the small band of non-partiers has to defend themselves against the partiers?ice109 said:
I hate parties.
Especially ones with drinking, and, well, other things
I favor other forms of social interaction than parties. Just because we don't like parties doesn't mean we're social outcasts? Well, probably a lot of us are...- #38

that guy was saying he's a social outcast and that is what motivated me to post that. I as well hate parties because most of them are just a bunch of people standing around in their own cliques drinking. that is why i was wondering what happens at the uncommon parties.

just to make one thing clear: some girls think it is cool to go out with a clueless dork mathematician, not a lot, but some.
e.g. there are some on tv right now, listing their phone numbers right on the screen.

Well parties can vary...
Some of the parties I've been to:
Pool Party: We went to a house with a big pool. We drunk alcohol on the pool, outside the pool. We talked, We listened to music, We danced, We ate mexican food. It was at the night.
Club Party: We drunk alcohol, We danced and talked. I don't think you could listen to the music.
Hawaiian Theme Party: We did limbo, we danced, we drunk alcohol and we talked.
What else is there for party? It's just having a good time, have a laugh, meet chicks, etc...
What i like most of parties is meeting new people!, so i can always have something new to say!.
