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

SUMMARY
The forum discussion centers on the social dynamics and activities at parties attended by physicists, mathematicians, and engineers. Participants noted that physicists often engage in games like Mao and Texas Hold 'Em, while engineers primarily drink. Various party themes were shared, including "porn and 40s" parties and "Wopatooly" gatherings, emphasizing the blend of drinking and social interaction. The conversation highlights the differences in party culture among scientific disciplines, with a humorous take on the social lives of mathematicians compared to their physicist counterparts.

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!.
