Craig has pretty much been owned in this conversation. The fact he evades a question means its true, he'd play the same game, yet women are blamed for playing games simply to see what someone they are meeting looks like.

Lets hope you don't evade this question. Do you want a girlfriend or not? If the answer is yes, get therapy for your woman hating problem. Not everyone is out to get you.

Nordy's = Nordstrom. I actually like that store.

And say for instance I manage to hit it off with some smoking hot but stereotypical NT girl and if she wants me to buy her a $2000+ Louis Vuitton or Chloe handbag, I'll demand a $2300 17" MacBook Pro in exchange.

Yes.. and marriage -

A survey shows that doctors are the most admired and most trusted marriage partners. By contrast, actors and musicians, along with journalists and advertisers, were among professionals that people trusted the least, and were also least likely to choose a partner from, according to a survey by Synovate, the market research arm of Aegis Group plc. The survey polled about 5,500 respondents in Brazil, Canada, China, France, Malaysia, South Africa and the United States. Most showed that the desirable profession of their partner is someone who's a doctor, overpaid, and they would love to marry. Sixteen percent nominated doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals as their preferred marriage partners, higher than any other profession. A 10% also admired those in the science and technology field, 14% admired those in the education field. Educators and doctors were also voted the most trusted by an overwhelming 86 and 87 percent. Only one percent picked retail professionals as partner-material, and those in media and marketing, as well as entertainers, did little better at two and three percent.

My turnoffs (and yes I'm admittedly shallow):

Women that I don't find physically attractive (Keep in mind I find Lilith from Cheers and Scully from X-Files attractive, so I'm not looking for playboy models or gucci/club type women.)

Women who have a personality that gets in the way of their physical attractiveness.

Btw, HomerBob, I don't work and live off the state, does that make me a bad person because I can't handle any type of job?


If you are truly disabled then that's fine. I meant people who are actually lazy and get everything handed to them because they have children irresponsibly or for the people who are on disability when they don't really need it. Then you have people who are responsible(have no children) and are poor but get no help at all. When I see a person wear gold jewelery, drive a Cadillac and end up spending a 300 dollar order on foodstamps, it's hard not to be pissed off and be upset with how badly abused the system is. I guess I should have been more clear.

I'm doing a PhD in physics. I'm not becoming a medical doctor. I would be in the science and technology category.

lol.. there is a whole comparison you can do between the two.. I find it amusing to see the responses from some individuals.

You can't just say a PhD in physics..and leave it at that! That is not nice.. you might as well have said your getting a PhD in 'stuff'.
Seriously, there is what, 7/8 'field/branches/categories' of Physics now? And they have their own 'field/branches/categories'.. so.. what section?
I cannot understand why the science and technology category is only 'admired' at 10% - it just seems soo wrong to me.

Do you get to 'play' with a synchrotron?

i agree. i am definitely in the 10%. i admire expertise or great knowledge of any sort including math/physics/science, and if it is something i don't understand.... that is even cooler (as long as the person doesn't make me feel too dumb)! but i am obviously in the minority.

lol.. I could have guessed you would be sharing a part of the 10% with me. I have never known a Physicist to make anyone 'feel dumb' and if you are a visual processor, you should have no problem understanding what most say, to feel dumb, going from the ones I have known over the years anyway.
Physicist are some of the sexiest minds out there, so maybe we should count ourselves lucky it is only 10% .... keep the greygasms to ourselves

Exactly what did I say that was so offensive? I'm working in theoretical physics but there is no requirement that I have to stick with one particular branch. I've already done an MSc in astrophysics but my PhD will be in something totally different (it has to do with relativistic quantum mechanics but not related to astrophysics at all). I'm working as a research assistant and may end up getting papers published related to a number of different fields/branches or whatever. I've not only been interested astrophysics but also particle or high energy physics, quantum field theory and string theory or other theories of quantum gravity. Additionally, doing work in string theory requires that you practically know just about everything else in physics.

nothing offensive, she was interested in what you are studying!

You did nothing that was offensive, just like hyperlexian said. Except leave me dangling for a bit there..
and that is not nice..

Your brain is a playground on natural philosophy from the looks of it.. damn..
The little I know/understand of string theory is just enough to 'see' how beautiful it is..
and as I said.. each type/field.. has more types/fields/branches/theory... supersymety (sp)... string has what - superstrings, holographic principles.. ohh and superstrings and bosnic(sp?) have the hybrid between them I believe.. heter????something..

gahh its been awhile.. well.. not really long for a branch or two.. but not a bunch..
went and did a tour of the synchrotron here after speaking to a Prof that teaches quantum physics and comes here during the summer months to work with the synchrotron.. he offered to take me around his section once he realised I was not just 'amusing' him with my interest..

Seriously, to have the ability to spend an hour seeing what you see.. would be incredible. And I believe they waste that technology on
teaching children self-control..

I must be the only dumb Aspie on the board. I couldn't even get through the first week of a liberal arts schedule for my bachelor's.
