Forever LSU

It was just a joke aibarr. No, I don't even drink. My family is a bunch of alcholics though. That is why I don't drink. We have a long line of alcohol abuse, but that is besides the point.

I do, though it did take awhile.

You get two types of people. Engineers who have girlfriends in engineering and engineers who have girlfriends not in engineering. For the first type, it's hard for them to find a girlfriend because there are not that many girls in engineering to begin with. For the second type, it's hard for them to find a girlfriend because non-engineering majors tend to not want to date engineering majors (in general).

That's a pretty rediculuous generalization. First of all I don't know any engineers who limits themselves to only dating other engineers. Second, I don't know any girls who would not want to date someone because of their college major.

Wait until you graduate, engineering guys. I bet lots of girls will be glad to date you!

Mobiusfrost

^i wonder how true that is if you already arent getting dates. if you arent getting dates now, wouldnt you have a problem afterwards because of your same problems (lack of confidence, being too nice, not being good looking, etc)

JoeJoe05

Well many people learn to open up more and grow up a bit by the time they graduate. Students also tend to have a lot more time for things like dating once they graduate. Though you are right many people who have trouble meeting girls will continue to due to personal problems. For guys I think this is usually a lack of confidence and poor communication.

I think that girls grow up too and realize that the best guys were the ones that used to be under their radar.

Greekfire

If by "under the radar" you mean, "languished hopelessly for years after a girl they were afraid to approach or a friend they were afraid to admit affection for", then you can't exactly blame the girls for not noticing. =P

jenaamariee

definitely false. my boyfriend is a mechanical engineering major. and he obviously has a girlfriend.

At STEM schools, the guy/girl ratio might make it difficult to date. Then again, most students (girls and guys) work very hard at academics and don't have a lot of extra time for dating. After graduation, there is lots of time for social life outside of work.

lolol this is such a funny thread. I don't think many women wouldn't date a guy (sorry for the double negative, but it fits) just because he was an engineering major, so no worries!

For the engineering female wanting to find a date the joke is that "the odds are good, but the goods are odd". Probably just true enough to be funny.

jwxie

I must report myself and I have a girlfriend right now. LOL
))))) she calls me a nerd because I am a Python geek.
Last night she just used print("hello world!") against me.

I was a female engineering grad student. I can remember sitting in the back row of Finite Elements class the first day and watching the new guys walk in. I thought, "Hmph, not much of a crop this semester!" LOL, one of that crop proposed to me less than three months later and we've now been married over 26 years. So you never know! I must say, my future husband cleaned up nicely. I got him to exchange his dorky brown western shirts and his thick, black-framed glasses for more stylish apparel.
