<p>Simple enough question?</p>
<p>Depends on the person. For me, it’s easiest to meet people in my classes and it’s a bummer that there aren’t a lot of women in my computer science classes (I’m in the computer lab right now and it’s all guys). However there are lots of women in general ed classes, hot ones too.</p>
<p>It doesn’t. Look outside classes.</p>
<p>You have plenty of women on this planet. Don’t we?</p>
<p>Find girls outside class! I’m an EE girl, and I didn’t want to spend the next few years only talking to boys, so I made female friends outside class. Go to clubs, activities, volunteer, etc.</p>
<p>Step 1: Admit that it isn’t engineering that’s hurting your ability to meet women, it’s your social skills.</p>
<p>Step 2: Join a number of organizations around campus - social organizations, religious organizations, athletic organizations, etc.</p>
<p>Step 3: Socialize with people and try to picture yourself from their perspective. What are you doing wrong and what can you do better?</p>
<p>Step 4: Use your new social skills to meet women that you know are around thanks to Step 2.</p>
<p>
It will be difficult to date women who share the same engineering courses as you.</p>
<p>It’s usually better to date a girl that is outside your major (or your workplace) ^^"</p>
<p>All else being equal, being an engineer hurts your dating situation (simply because you have less chances to meet girls) in college.</p>
<p>After college I definitely think it improves your dating situation as you actually have money and a real career. You can go out to eat. You can do actual fun things. You can splurge on presents if you want. You can do the trip to Vegas/NYC/LA.</p>

<p>Not always! Another woman and I both met our future husbands in engineering grad school. We all took the same classes together. Each couple has been married almost 25 years and we each have our own firm! My husband never has to say, “My wife just doesn’t understand how stressful engineering is!!” :)</p>
<p>While I can’t say I’ve succeeded in this regard, you can at least try campus events rather than classes as a way of meeting people. Unfortunately, in science classes, what girls exist usually group together for labs and whatnot.</p>
<p>The lack of women in engineering never affected my dating life.</p>
<p>Ditto!! :)</p>
<p>^^ Coming from two women…</p>
<p>Do stuff on campus and don’t be a nerd when you talk to them. Try to be casual. Also, make some guy friends, they’re useful for being wingmen, although they may not see it as you do…but hey, if you’re desperate, being a wingman can’t be all bad.</p>
<p>Studying with women in some of your classes, engineering or not, works well. At least it did for my husband.</p>
<p>I never “grouped together” with girls for science labs or whatnot. I’ve always liked working with guys better (oops, I’m sexist).</p>
<p>What is so hard about meeting women? I am a CS student, and I find it easy to meet women…Just get the hell away from the computer.</p>
<p>Again, women are overrated.</p>
<p>I’d say a reasonable plan would be to study near the psychology building appearing to be confused about the true purpose of life and the enjoyment thereof. Ask a cute girl whether she might be able to suggest a good way for an engineering major that doesn’t have a lot of time on his hands to really make the most out of his free time, because engineering just doesn’t fill that void in life that will make your future wealth meaningful.</p>
<p>That oughta do the trick.</p>
<p>
Not a bad plan. Consider that now a majority of college students are women, so just as engineering is male-dominated there are other majors (like education) that are female dominated and wondering how to meet men! There are also lots of student activities that have parity or better - I did a few theater productions, and the ratio of straight women to straight men was about 3 to 1 or so, and there were plenty of positions for non-actors.</p>
<p>
You do realize that this is difficult for a lot of CS majors right?</p>
