I can't take talking to physicists about their dating life anymore

Lotta truth in this thread.

Except I know lots of normal, social, and even hot math majors. I don't think they're the type to move on to grad school, though.

Lots? They exist, I agree. But lots? Samoth, come on stop being a liar.

and lol @ that formula. Not sure what it has to do with anything since it is working for anyone around here as near as I can tell but lol.

Actual formula for the beer goggles effect.

An = number of units of alcohol consumed
S = smokiness of the room (graded from 0-10, where 0 clear air; 10 extremely smoky)
L = luminance of ‘person of interest’ (candelas per square metre; typically 1 pitch black; 150 as seen in normal room lighting)
Vo = Snellen visual acuity (6/6 normal; 6/12 just meets driving standard)
d = distance from ‘person of interest’ (metres; 0.5 to 3 metres)

They all add up to make the aesthetically-challenged more attractive, according to the formula.

LOL!

From what I have been told by many of the men that I dated before my husband made me quit dating... it seemed that THE MOST well-educated chicks, we are talking physicists and shrinks, etc also seemed to be the MOST fucked up hurtin pups.

Go figure.

Yeah, that's true to an extent. Certain behavioral tendencies tend to follow from anyone willing to work that hard at anything, but I don't think it's that black and white. Besides, I am talking mostly about people who are so inept socialyl they never even get far enough in relationships for anyone to be able to comment on what it's like to date them.

I am so not exaggerating. I mean these broads were tenured professors at well-noted universities or corporate VPs. They would go on ONE DATE with a dude and by the time got home his cell was blown up by dozens of texts and several emails, each getting angrier than the next questioning as to why he hadn't returned any of their communications yet.

CREEPY SHIT.

These women were not 20 somethings as one could surmize by their professional achievements.

MsPregoRae... I am not EVEN exaggerating for the sake of effect. Unless these dudes were lying to me (though I dont know why they would, it didn't put them in a more favorable light with me) I heard some straight up scary off-the-wall shit. We are talking these women would go from really nice and sweet to head spinning and screaming in the middle of a restaurant between the time the waiter cleared the dinner dishes and before he brought out the dessert menu.

NO SHIT

More scientists need to aspire to Richard Feynman. That includes going to strip clubs.

Amen to that brother. That dude was the shit. I think everyone can agree about that guy though.

And yeah, I'm going to agree about that being more likely with prof-types. The issue is generally simple: they never dated much and are just not mentally equipped to deal with a lot what it entails. And then some of them simply have other mental issues to get over. The whole thing is a mess.

I just told one girl that I think she should try to keep her options open. She asked me about her situation with a guy. Didn't sound too great. Jesus. I should have just said THAT'S GREAT and went back to working. Don't ever take my advice on anything if you ever find yourself in such a situation. Odds are you'll find yourself in bed with a hermaphrodite transvestite (not sure how one would go about pulling that off but hey, it's there)....not that I've ever done that or anything. Just the one time. And I had no idea that guy was a girl. I mean that that girl was a guy....dammit. BUSTED.

I had a date from hell with a closet cross dresser once.
