<p>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.</p>
<p>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!</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>I sat behind the hot drama major girl (nice view) in my freshmen english class a whole semester before asking her out on a date. That was more than ten years ago. We’ve been married now 4.33 years. My wedding band is made of tungsten carbide with a carbon fiber inlay. Hers has the initials MCB etched on the inside. Stands for “My covalent bond.” :-)</p>
<p>Joke’s on you, MaineLonghorn. Those black-rimmed glasses are apparently back in style now.</p>
<p>Also:</p>

<p>This is laughable. Anyone who is working so hard that they don’t even have time to date is doing it wrong. I know very, very few people (read: nobody) who worked so hard they had no time to date during undergrad.</p>
<p>da6onet, I’m glad you finally got up the nerve to ask her out!</p>
<p>LOL, boneh3ad. And now he wears contacts! I’ll have to tell him to dig out his old glasses.</p>
<p>"I know very, very few people (read: nobody) who worked so hard they had no time to date during undergrad. " - I knew some that dated in college, some that didn’t, and some that would have done so more if the right opportunity presented itself. Many guys had GF back at home. </p>
<p>In my freshman class (early 1980s), about 30% were women. Around January a friend set me up with a pal from home for my first college date. (Lack of dates was not a big deal - I didn’t date much in hs either). The funny thing was that half the guys from his dorm floor followed us from about half a block behind down to the campus movie. Then they sat behind us to watch. I was told that none of them had even tried to ask out any girls… this was a big novelty. Things are likely different now, but it was fun to remember the story. </p>
<p>I did happen to meet “Mr Right” my senior year. LOL - He was a transfer student that had told his mother he didn’t think he’d find any girls worth dating at our engineering college. We’ve been happily married for 27 years.</p>
<p>Time management. If you let engineering consume you, it will consume you.</p>
<p>As for myself, I started dating a girl 1 month into college… she’s now my wife. Dating and maintaining your academics is just another test in time management. During college I did 3 internships, was on 3 different research teams, and graduated with a good GPA and job offer 4 months prior to graduation. It’s not that difficult.</p>
<p>Lol. Engineering girls dont have it easy either.</p>

<p>Im with the same chick from my HS, had a kid in 10th grade, 2nd in 12th, 3rd in 2008. Got 55 Credits toward PetE degree. Taking 15 Cr hrs now, all that with working 30-33 hrs last 5 years… 3.51 GPA overall 70 credits hour. Maturity and time management does wonder.</p>
