Listen up engineering students.

How to find love while being a nerdy woman: Step 1: Enroll in engineering class. Step 2: Take your pick of the litter.

Curufinwes · 2012-10-17T16:14:43+00:00

It's missing option number #5. Build your own.

in_hell_want_water · 2012-10-17T13:34:03+00:00

If you need help, #2 really means: "Don't act like a condescending, know-it-all douche."

tamarawilhite · 2012-10-17T15:56:04+00:00

No wonder my now-husband took me around the computer labs and introduced me to all his friends in college. "I'm an engineer, and I've got a girlfriend, and she's in engineering, too!" It wasn't "showing commitment by introducing me to his friends. It was showing off a trophy, or demonstrating that he won the equivalent to the lottery.

LeCrushinator · 2012-10-17T15:32:03+00:00

Option #1 saved my ass, I'm too busy programming all damn day now to have time to find anyone if I were still single.

Rexono · 2012-10-17T17:11:59+00:00

What about gay engineers?

Maerwynn · 2012-10-17T15:34:21+00:00

5: Move to Sweden. Girls here love engineers. The building engineers at my school always get laid.

pmoiab · 2012-10-17T15:32:31+00:00

3 Doesn't work for me. There are no women in my class, though there is a feminine man.

Legosheep · 2012-10-17T16:37:59+00:00

Option 5: Be gay

lydocia · 2012-10-17T16:04:28+00:00

What the fuck is up with "hope she's not too nerdy"?

You expect women to fall for you and your nerdiness, but expect them not to be nerdy at all?

Bumblebree · 2012-10-17T15:07:13+00:00

There are plenty of women who like their men smart. You just have to make sure you have good hygiene and can hold a conversation on things other than your major.

lilmagpie · 2012-10-17T16:49:40+00:00

Girls throw themselves at engineering students at my university because they know they will make a good living when they graduate. If you're an engineer or a doctor, usually you get your pick of the litter.

BillsInATL · 2012-10-17T17:02:05+00:00

Option #5: Focus on yourself for now. Get your education and a job and become an established adult male. Acquire a house and save some money. You will be amazed at how that can attract women. Then at about 30 years old, start slaying as much tail as you can. You dont need to have everything solved by 22.

Tollaneer · 2012-10-17T17:24:12+00:00

I'm in Eastern Europe. What now?

pandabrah · 2012-10-17T16:23:02+00:00

Are engineers in America not allowed to socialise with non-engineers or something?

Being an engineer is no excuse to not get girls.

Source- I'm an engineer

I feel may have taken a joke about stereotypes to seriously.

fitshace · 2012-10-17T16:18:32+00:00

I would like to quote the mighty Ron Swanson on this one:

"1. Be a man"

Some people might not believe this, but you can actually be a real engineer without being socially awkward.

zanewt · 2012-10-17T16:07:46+00:00

haha "97%" of reddit is going to find this funny since we are all engineering students right!!!

downvoted_by_lefties · 2012-10-17T16:59:56+00:00

5: Get an engineering job. Wait until you're in your high twenties. Watch women flock to you.

ninefinger117 · 2012-10-17T15:44:28+00:00

I did option #1 but it's long distance and that's still better than trying to date the girls here at school

detroitdoesntsuckbad · 2012-10-17T15:49:12+00:00

Or just get a good job, make a lot of money and be normal.

option 5: go to Asia

pacified69 · 2012-10-17T16:35:04+00:00

5 - Take a women studies class.

authorless · 2012-10-17T17:06:31+00:00

Shit. Give me the nerdy girl.

Evilmadness66 · 2012-10-17T14:56:19+00:00

Idea 1 / 3 didn't work

Chronomath · 2012-10-17T15:35:25+00:00

Yes! Option 1 is still going strong ^{^}

canneddirt · 2012-10-17T15:49:17+00:00

I went for Option #1. Easiest by far.

DaMegaphone · 2012-10-17T15:52:13+00:00

First three failed so I'm going with the fourth option. Should be here by novemeber.

CuntHunt · 2012-10-17T16:05:45+00:00

Option 4 doesn't really work that well anymore as Eastern Europe is getting quite wealthy.

Multidisciplinary · 2012-10-17T16:09:09+00:00

Don't be SAP. Don't be all about what you've studied. Job /= personality.

SchlapHappy · 2012-10-17T16:17:15+00:00

I liked my university because the engineering building was actually connected to the business building so you could always talk up the girls there.

Maerig · 2012-10-17T16:19:04+00:00

There still is this option.

CosmicZephyr · 2012-10-17T16:22:19+00:00

He wants to make sure engineers keep breeding. The world needs more tough thinkers!!!

Im_Not_Black · 2012-10-17T16:26:17+00:00

Option 4.

I used option 1

of_terrys_crew · 2012-10-17T16:31:09+00:00

Option 2 baby! All the sports-science classes I could take!

megasin1 · 2012-10-17T16:31:47+00:00

Only two of them in my group! Uhhhh!

tattarrattattat · 2012-10-17T16:53:07+00:00

Option #5: turn gay?

mike1343 · 2012-10-17T16:55:01+00:00

treerex · 2012-10-17T16:59:51+00:00

Option 2a: Be well rounded enough to be able to seduce a Liberal Arts major.

Worked for me.

martiancyclone · 2012-10-17T17:01:27+00:00

Or study engineering in India, especially computer engineering. All computer engineers look dressed up here. Maybe they got into it for the love of American dollars. Can't vouch for their skills or passion.

mynameisbacon · 2012-10-17T17:03:50+00:00

As a physics/engineering grad... there is truth to this

tomjenks1 · 2012-10-17T17:13:51+00:00

my engineering class was over 50% women

Rand0m_Viking · 2012-10-17T17:16:36+00:00

What the hell is too nerdy? That's like saying too attractive

Amant · 2012-10-17T17:16:37+00:00

I am a mechanical engineering student. At my university we have the largest department in the college of engineering, but the lowest percentage of women. How do I fix this problem? I take Chemistry and Biology classes.

Androne · 2012-10-17T17:18:19+00:00

5: Stop pretending that you can't find a girl like a normal person.

I went to school for engineering and so did pretty much all of my friends. None of them had a hard time finding a girlfriend.

mnighm · 2012-10-17T17:21:33+00:00

As a thirty something single engineer I must say I am getting far more action than I did in college. The problem I have now is trying to weed through the ones that are just after someone who can afford to take care of them for the ones that are actually interested in me.

jimm_monster · 2012-10-17T17:22:03+00:00

You don't know how funny this is to me, being a female student engineer who's been single for 5 years!

Matchman08 · 2012-10-17T17:22:18+00:00

This also applies to those in computer science unfortunately....

rodentjoe · 2012-10-17T17:23:53+00:00

What's with this "hope she's not too nerdy" crap?

analogkid01 · 2012-10-17T17:24:42+00:00

I once worked for a lousy training company in Chelmsford MA...the owner had a wife from the Philippines. I asked him once how they met, and he said "Well, we initially met through the mail..." That was all I ever heard (or wanted to hear) of that story.

callmesuspect · 2012-10-17T17:25:25+00:00

Hope she isn't too nerdy

Why the fuck would I want to date someone that isn't nerdy.

Sedentes · 2012-10-17T17:27:53+00:00

Number 6: Be gay and have your pick of sexual frustrated college aged men.

cosmicomet03 · 2012-10-17T17:28:32+00:00

I don't get why engineers and women don't combine. Engineers are smart, motivated, and inventive. Computer science, now that is a field I find perplexing, or maybe people who major in Math. But that can get kind of fun in a nerdy kind of way.

Whatever, if someone doesn't like you based on your major, they are a douche. STEM degrees are a major turn on in my book. I love a man who can think and isn't necessarily motivated by money and prestige (AKA: business degrees). The quest for knowledge and invention reign supreme in my vag.

theshinnmaster92 · 2012-10-17T17:29:33+00:00

The amount of truth in this post hurts my loins...

FapDat · 2012-10-17T17:31:03+00:00

As a computer science major all of this is accurate for us except #3 should say: "Grab on to the only woman in you computer science class and realize that's probably the best you can do"

vanilllaa · 2012-10-17T17:32:07+00:00

how could Eastern Europe go on 4th, that's num 1 option. Why? Because in Eastern Europe Engineering classes are equal in male and female students. You may also enroll here but I don't promise you could actually learn something,... or anything

Yogurt_Huevos · 2012-10-17T17:32:54+00:00

I guess I screwed as a physics and math major....

Tranger · 2012-10-17T17:34:27+00:00

You can always try plan B:

Turn gay.

SaltFrog · 2012-10-17T17:34:49+00:00

I'd love an engineer boyfriend. Man.

6roybatty6 · 2012-10-17T17:35:17+00:00

Option 5: wait until you're making good money after college, working for a tech giant, and meet someone awesome. Fall in love, get married (or as close to it as your local jurisdiction will allow, if you're gay) and live happily, and as nerdily as you care to, ever after.

At least, that's how it worked for me.

treay61 · 2012-10-17T17:35:56+00:00

Option 5: Engineer the perfect woman

Balrog_Forcekin · 2012-10-17T17:38:07+00:00

Why would you hope she isn't too nerdy? I love nerdy girls.

undeadgoat · 2012-10-17T17:38:39+00:00

Might I suggest trying to meet girls in mostly-female majors? Nerds can and do study e.g. design.

Bruneti12 · 2012-10-17T17:38:58+00:00

hahaha "four women".

DCdictator · 2012-10-17T17:39:02+00:00

you omitted: "be able to get a good job with a high and stable salary then take your pick of all the women who majored in a liberal art or science ~~that isn't math~~."

Another day, another misogynistic thread on reddit.

sammyboy0120 · 2012-10-17T17:40:28+00:00

I don't think it's nearly as bad as people make it out to be anymore. I'm a chemical engineering major, and not only are significant portions (~40-50%) of my engineering classmates girls, but many are also hot (as in legitimately hot, not 'hot for an engineering major'). Maybe the other branches have it worse, but I think it's becoming more of a pop culture thing than a reality thing (for reference, I go to Ohio University, not some uber expensive college that would go fr out of it's way to give this impression).

kenvsryu · 2012-10-17T17:40:54+00:00

I shouldve banged more #3s.

cycophuk · 2012-10-17T17:41:00+00:00

I don't get why #4 has to be such a bad thing. There are some really beautiful Eastern European women out there.

TheBurningHeart · 2012-10-17T17:43:35+00:00

Option 3...get on my level.

IAmDisappeared · 2012-10-17T17:43:47+00:00

I am an engineering student and took option 3. All I can say is don't do it, we dated for the two years and broke up. She has been with another classmate for the last 8 months. It is not fun.

kj01a · 2012-10-17T17:46:14+00:00

Too nerdy?? I don't understand.

sandbox01 · 2012-10-17T17:47:04+00:00

I'm so sick of this rumor! Im an Architect student and would love to meet an engineer student as well as all the other thirty single girls in my class!

Lemonwizard · 2012-10-17T17:48:27+00:00

This picture lost me when its advice suggested male engineering students should hope for girls to NOT be nerdy.

Seasok · 2012-10-17T17:50:11+00:00

Environmental engineering FTW! Such a good ratio.

drunctioning_funk · 2012-10-17T17:50:51+00:00

Since when was engineering a nerdy subject? Geology, now there's a class full of freaks.

Tim_Buk2 · 2012-10-17T17:51:02+00:00

I did option 3 and when that didn't work, followed with option 2. So far (17 years) so good.

Purple_Haze · 2012-10-17T17:51:38+00:00

At my local engineering school the answer is: walk across the street to the nursing school, they have the exact problem in mirror image.

Gregoff · 2012-10-17T17:54:02+00:00

Ahum... there is a 5th option... if you are willing...enough...

Just watch the movie Weird Science

rhayward · 2012-10-17T17:54:04+00:00

Sounds about right.

scoobythebeast · 2012-10-17T17:55:24+00:00

Wait, hold on now. Option 3, hope she's not too nerdy? I wasn't aware there was such a thing as a too nerdy girl.

RuTsui · 2012-10-17T17:57:53+00:00

You.. You are the same guy who had the chalkboard and the hat and the beard and it said "Science: Magic without the lies"

bleedthenutshell · 2012-10-17T17:58:34+00:00

I have always wondered who this guy is and why he likes chalkboards so much.

htravic17x · 2012-10-17T17:58:52+00:00

Engineering Grad here. The solution is simple. Socialize.

SilentTheTyrant · 2012-10-17T17:59:15+00:00

My engineering class consists of about 70 guys and 40 girls. Lots of people have glasses. The teachers suck dicks all day. My public high school teachers were three times better than any professor I have had so far in terms of teaching. In terms of knowledge my professors know more but they can't teach for shit.

QueenShnoogleberry · 2012-10-17T18:00:33+00:00

Dear Loveless Engineering Student,

I am a tall, natural blonde, blue eyes woman with a D-cup. I am also an arts student who will probably work retail her entire life.

Will you marry me?

Sincerely,

Moneyless

worldisorder · 2012-10-17T18:02:05+00:00

Or marry a science major like me!!! FOR SCIENCE!!!

PolyamorousPlatypus · 2012-10-17T18:02:54+00:00

Option #5: Hook up with random chicks at bars and such until you've graduated and make a 6 figure salary. Life get's much easier when you're successful and not a broke student.

indoobitably · 2012-10-17T18:03:20+00:00

I'm pretty sure the few "chicks" in my engineering class were very feminine looking, long haired men....

Orestes910 · 2012-10-17T18:04:19+00:00

Just wait until you graduate. Women will surely want to join you in your bed made of money.

bibiane · 2012-10-17T18:06:33+00:00

5 make over $80000 yearly and call me (prefer over 6 ft, but anything is acceptable

JamesEatWorld · 2012-10-17T18:08:48+00:00

Option 5: build one.

Sure_lll_Eat_That · 2012-10-17T18:11:18+00:00

Or be damn good looking in a suit.

thepurpleelephant · 2012-10-17T18:13:41+00:00

What #2 really means is don't be a stereotype. By the way, 33% of the S&P 500 CEOs' undergraduate degrees are in engineering and only 11% are in business administration.

http://www.businessinsider.com/ceos-majored-in-engineering-2011-3?op=1#ixzz29a6GjJUy

mhenr18 · 2012-10-17T18:14:53+00:00

That's really odd, considering that probably 50% of the undergrads in my core engineering subjects are women.

Of course, my software subjects are a massive cockfest.

entstructor · 2012-10-17T18:15:20+00:00

I'll start next year, so i guess thanks for the heads up ;)

QGB391 · 2012-10-17T18:17:35+00:00

As a female engineering major, please don't 'grab' onto us.

NoSleepForMeEVER · 2012-10-17T18:20:06+00:00

What's wrong with dating an engineer? Personally, I like guys smarter than I am because they can teach me new things.(:

trapped_in_jonhamm · 2012-10-17T18:20:48+00:00

I have never understood this web "comic". He writes stuff down on a chalkboard and stands next to it. What makes this funnier than plain black text typed on a white background?

BlazeFlame · 2012-10-17T18:21:27+00:00

Psh. I'm a gay engineer. I tell them I can make an awesome custom dildo. I have my pick of the bunch.

t0mn0mn0m · 2012-10-17T18:21:42+00:00

I was really hoping this was genuine advice. Maths is my only companion

danmayzing · 2012-10-17T18:22:47+00:00

I went to an engineering school in Rolla, MO and back in my day we said "Yeah man, Rolla has a ton of chicks... problem is that there are only five of them."

Lower your standards, import (LDR), or just beat it like the rest of us until you graduate and get your nice high-paying career.
