Is Caltech a boring place to be at?

I also might add that it would surprise me if many college students at any school have, in high school, “seriously” dated before. From what I know, many consider the early years time to fiddle around aimlessly, and not even get legitimately useful experience.

By serious dating, I don’t mean serious as in looking to get married. I just mean actual dating. I guess I’m trying to point out that some techers have dating experience that I wouldn’t really classify as such (they had “boyfriends” or “girlfriends” but didn’t really date them). I think the large majority of high schoolers have dated in the fashion I’m referring to. In any case, there are plenty of techers who have never been on any sort of date at all; and this is the major problem with dating at Tech (in my opinion). Of course, being around inexperienced daters is great if you yourself are inexperienced (think safe environment) but if you dated a decent amount in high school you might be frustrated by the lack of similar people. To give a little context, I dated five girls in high school, but only one of them for more than two months (eleven months, in that case). I found that arriving as a freshmen at tech I had far more experience than most of my friends, regardless of their grade level. Almost all of the girls I have dated at Tech have had a similar lack of experience. In each of these relationships, the lack of experience was a big problem for me.

There are plenty of girls at tech that “study physics well”, are “nice”, have “good social skills”, and “look decent”. The rarest trait to find is dating experience (by far).

QuantumArbiter, I think you will do a lot better with women in general if you are not looking for “sexy chicks.”



Hahaha, I wouldn’t normally comment on that QuantMech (since I feel it’s a self-solving issue) but since you said it, I must say, well put.
