bug. off. dude

 

You're trying your hardest to prove some stupid belief you have, even if it means ignoring facts or misunderstanding people's sense of humor.

 

She said that two CS majors probably wouldn't be a good match. She said before that the generalization is that the opposite sex is not that important to CS majors at her age. However, she said she would be open to the idea of dating a CS major.

 

I really don't know what is so hard to understand. You're making yourself look like a fool.

you state you have no problem dating a computer geek. next sentence: two won't make a good match. you pick business majors. a ceo is cooler than a computer geek. I'm neither btw.

Yes, I have no problem dating a CS major. However, I don't think I will make a good match with someone who is even remotely like me. I never actually dated someone who was a business major. What I said was that I attract them. I do not date guys based on their major. That is the least of my worries. Believe me when I say, I can careless which major you fall under. My first comment was stating the obvious. Most computer science majors are shy and don't approach girls ,where the businesss majors tend to be more flamboyant. I know this is a generalization and I apologize if it offends anyone. Now do you understand? You can say me not liking CS majors means I like jerks, that is your prerogative not mine.

Hey Guys,

 

I just stumbled onto this video on YouTube, that I found adorable, and wanted to share.

 

 

I think young guys are awesome, because that make cool stuff like this.:love:

 

Only thing younger men were good for was fun. Had it and over it.

This Roach guy is the local LS troll I think. His accounts get banned very often, but he manages to gather the zeal to re-register every time, troll the LS crowd and flood several threads with his posts before getting banned again.

 

Come here you little critter...: http://bit.ly/fVhtco

What field will you be studying and for what reason?

 

I haven't decided my end game yet, I will do at least one maths major. I don't have to repeat first year subjects, so I figure I can do 2 or 3 majors and many minors. I want to find a combination that will lead somewhere useful, but that I can also feel passionate about.

 

haha... sorry to starter of this thread... my word.

 

It's all good!

 

girls don't desire computer geeks.

 

I get that he's trolling, but I just want to make it clear, I love computer geeks. I find guys who know more about computers then me, and have the skills to fix computer problems when they arise really HOT. I also love maths geeks, and most other geeks and nerds too. They are awesome.

What else is there in life?

I didn't mean to imply I had the answer, I was just genuinely interested if you knew the reason. But I'll give it a shot since you asked.

 

I don't mean the following in a derogatory manner, just want to make that clear. It's just a sincere assessment based on experience with those guys when I was still a student a few years ago.

 

Many, if not most, male students of the exact science departments at their age are not yet into women enough.

Women are on their radar, but they're small vague blips that don't get a lot of attention in that phase of their lives. For most of those guys other interests and priorities are probably winning it from girls/women. It's not that they don't want girlfriends, they'd like to, but just not hard enough at that point. But many of them don't know that yet and even a lot of them think getting a girlfriend would be something really hard, both in terms of acquiring them and in terms of having a relationship with them. And for many of them interest in computers is winning it from interest in women at that point.

 

On top of that many of them are clueless and oblivious when it comes to girls/women. They are clueless and oblivious, because nobody really taught them anything about dealing with girls/women. They're rationalists and a rationalist does not know about a subject(in this case girls/women) if information about that subject has not been transferred to them. Of all the guys that misinterpret female interest signals, the most rational ones take the cake, because they base hardly any of their conclusions on feelings. They'll probably interpret most signs of (subtle) interest as general friendliness. And CS is very much a rational field. Programming, which is a part of CS as you know, is hard core rationality. Figuratively speaking, boolean logic is what dictates a large part of their attitude so to say. If you know how to program, you know how rational those guys think. And you can test that too, just by saying something irrational to them. They'll get pissed. You can push their buttons that way, because it's like introducing a bug into the code, it's kind of funny if you think about it.

 

I have seen attempts from many people, trying to explain the mindset of the logical-analytical introverted male 'geek', and in a way I think that's a good thing. But what of their female counterparts? We don't have such excuses made up for us. People rarely say, "Oh, well, the brilliant female geeks are so absorbed in intellectual pursuits and so focused on logic and rationality that you need to see them from a different point of view. Look beneath their plainer/weird surface, where they put less effort in because their focus is elsewhere, and try and see them for the wonderful personalities they have inside."

 

No; in movies especially, this is perpetuated by the image of the 'hot female geek' - the ones with the brains AND the looks AND the social skills. From society's POV, it is apparently acceptable to lack them as a male geek, and you'll still get a hot girlfriend, but not so for the female. Why?

 

Just to explain where I'm coming from: I'm not bitter, I have a bf whom I love, a geek like myself. But I'm just annoyed at the males in my CS course who seem to have mouths of gold, and don't even want to TALK to women. I don't want a bf, but these people don't even seem want to make acquaintances with women. I don't feel very inclined to make excuses for them, as none were ever made for ME by virtue of being a geek. And in fact, I suspect some of them might be judging me by the very same shortcomings they themselves have, and that just irks me to no end.

When i was in Computer science( which i failed and changed major) I was actually great in game programming cause it was my hobby outside of school and i learned it bymyself, but i sucked at the stuff that had to do with math and calculus.. But there was this class where we had to make

a game together with a group of people.

 

My partners turned out to be geeky asian girls that knew high math(they thought i was taking the same high math as them NOT knowing i had failed calculs 3 times already. heheh). But they knew nothing about game making and art.

 

I ended up doing all the game and all the art for the game( by hand) and we got an A in the project.

 

So, even though i suck at math and calculus stuff. i'm good at art/design related computer stuff. i'm no pro at anything but I have ideas :)
