RE: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] why there are very few chicks on mlug --theanswer (I think)

[Jennifer Dozar <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

I guess i always was more into Boy things then i was girl things. *shrug*
I wasn't really calling all the girls in the College of Ed airheads, i was
generalizing off Neil's example. Sorry. I  have known some very bright
ladies in Education.  My appologies to anyone i might have offended.
I"m sure women can say the same things about geek boys. undecisive, etc.
I usually like to compromise on dates or entertainment. If i know he
doesn't like Chinese, i''m not gonna pick Chinese. *shrug* If the girl you
like doesn't yield to a decision, then don't go out with her. :P or just
grin and bare it.
I love Science! sorry your ex had a bad time with it. could have just been
that teacher was such a pain. I haven't taken College Physics, but i like
Physics. I took it in high school, but didn't get credit for it (long
story) AM still looking forward to taking it eventually :P just maybe not
at MU.

> I have to argue that calling the girls in College of Education classes airhead's is a little bit of a generality. There are some very smart girls in there. My ex-girlfriend was a very smart girl. She went to take a physics class from this woman that was supposidly very active in the promotion of women in the sciences. Well, my ex had never had physics before (some high schools don't offer it), and this was supposed to be the most basic intro to physics MU offered. That *itch of a teacher jumpped right in to the middle of the newtonian equations with out a bit of explanation, and when the first test came around my ex was at her wits end. So, what does the teacher do instead of offering 10 minuites of encouraging office time to get her on the right track, she makes some snide remark when handing the tests back that she should drop the course. This was in the corse of two weeks. She had already been through two chemistry classes and had done excellent in both. This is why girls don't find science and engineering interesting. They get scared off.
> It's not what you do, it's that most geeks are not bad boys with blatant issues. If they can see what's wrong with you they can fix you. :-) If you look too good to be true, they don't trust you. Also, most geeks are stable, not mentaly, just materialy. They are afraid of commitment, so they go and hook up with the biggest looser they can find, hoping that he will never make a commitment. And just for good measure, they pester him about it all the time so he get's dead set aginst it. :-)
> Actually, it's very interesting how non-commital, undecisive, and un-empathetic women can really be. Why do you think they make the guys ask them out and decide on what to eat and what to see at the movies? Because they can't make a decision to save their lives. And if they pick, how often do they really put the other person first?
> Sorry, these are some gross generalities, and I'm just venting, because I have been the victum of all of these things. I ask the woman what she wants to eat, because it realy realy dosen't matter to me (I could eat shoe leather in a dumpster and be happy), and I know that if I make a wrong choice I'm in trouble. If you think they like you, you have to ask, but they have the option of saying no and making you look like a complete ass. But you had to guess all of this stuff and play all their games of second and third guessing yourself..... Women are a mess. :-) The only reason why the dominant males let them get away with this womans rights thing is because we thought it was cute... at first. :-P (I'm just talking crap.)
