I'm an engineering major at a top 10 university and I have to say this is a bit fishy.

There are no black people in engineering.

They all went into chemical engineering.

Nah, my class had two back guys and two middle-eastern girls and one black girl. Diversity!

Also, no white girls, and many many very very white guys.

I'd say that most other demographics have a strong presence in the program I'm in. At my graduation ceremony in May it became VERY apparent that there are almost no black people in engineering. There were probably 5 black guys out of the 1000+ people graduating and I'm pretty sure there were no black girls at all.

As someone who went to an engineering school, unless your gay, sex is waited on w/o your consent.

It's in the top ten in Texas, and that's all that really matters if you are from Texas.

Strange, looks like it is about 8.

edit* And African people "don't count" as being black? WTF is wrong with you?

I like the idea of this better than abstain till you're married. This to me just means to focus your energy on what's most impotent to you.

"no children until you're married' makes sense, but "no sex until you are married" is retarded.

[–]iqtrm 1 point2 points ago

Why does "no childern until your're married" make sense? It does not make you a better parent nor affect your fiscal possibilities. Im not trying to troll, just want to know what the idea is based on.

So do not Y until X has nothing to do with X but could be a indication of Z. Does not compute... =)

Or in human, In this world where marriage is just some paperwork away and could be done in a weekend, It should not be an indication on how fit you are to raise children. Nor does the saying on where we started make any kind of sense.

i agree with this. Marriage not in the legal sense, but in the sense of settling down, quitting with the dating game, and being committed to eachother. this needs to happen before having kids.

also to an extent, the only reason why marriage was invented was so kids can have a mother and a father.

historially, before birth control, sex pretty much meant someone was going to get pregnant. that's why a lot of cultures have age-old wisdom saying "no sex (kids) before marriage". now that's no longer the case, so i think sex before marriage is fine.

This is like when you're in a group of friends and you start awkwardly laughing at your own joke, but no one else laughs with you.

Sex it is! Luckily I studied engineering during the refractory period. To the future!

My buddy and I have a theory that sex takes away a man's super powers. Look at Nikola Tesla. Never touched the poontang, and was therefore a super genius.

[–]Ubicomp 1 point2 points ago

Newton used to make tiny scale models of furniture to woo a childhood crush. It was an early and painful rejection and the first of many hard times to come.

i've never heard of this before. i guess you read his biography?

Paul Erdos as well. One of the most prolific and hilarious mathematicians that ever lived. Had a problem with his dick where it pained him to get hard. As a result of this, he had to completely abstain not only from sex, but from anything that might bring him to an aroused state. Thus his entire life was focused on keeping his mind elsewhere. Epic.

[–]JackpotDen 1 point2 points ago

Erdos is a badass motorhead and general homeless man.

I read about it in a few places, the first place was a biography of Paul Erdös The Man Who Loved Only Numbers (start on page 139 halfway down for the story as told by his friend Andrew Vazsonyi).

I used to read a lot of bios of mathematicians and that aspect of his life was quite shocking to me.

Today a career in engineering is one of the best ways to eventually get laid. Not only will you likely make a sustainable salary, chicks will dig the security and want to legitimately settle down with you. You'll have some good pickins for your efforts!

Let's see if he is singing the same tune when an electrician is yelling at him because he drew a schematic that has a female end where a male end should be.

Meh, I did mechanical engineering at UofI and there was 1 black guy in my classes. He was from Africa or something. Pretty cool guy.. had a bunch of white chicks hovering around him.

That said I wasn't a fan of engineering.

Just throwing this out there. Being successful and making a superior salary doing something interesting is actually very attractive to the hoochies once you are out of college.
