Why Date A Scientist?

[exitstageright]

E-harmony came up with these 15 reasons why one would date a scientist.
I agree with all of them. What I would like to know,( Yes,most scientist are curious) what do you all think the pros and the cons of one dating a scientist are. One con,in dating a scientist,is that a scientist may not have a belief in God,and/or lack faith.

Here are the good reasons to date a scientist.

Not sure if you should accept that scientist’s invitation to dinner? Here are 15 reasons to date a scientist:
1. You’ll never run out of things to talk about. Just ask your date a “why” question. He/she will likely know the long answer.

2. Those cute lab coats.

3. “I’m dating a scientist” sounds very impressive.

4. You’ll likely win at trivia night if you’re on the same team.

5. Scientists have a keen understanding of anatomy. This comes handy
both in the bedroom(knowing what goes where and....why) and when you’re injured.

6. You can joke about your great chemistry.

7. Scientists do meticulous, time-consuming tests and experiments. This attention to detail — and incredible patience — will serve your relationship well.

8. Ever want to know what’s scientifically inaccurate in your favorite sci-fi show? You will now.

9. Access to dry ice and cool chemist’s tools. Best party ever.

10. Dates at the planetarium or science center become extra-fascinating.

11. Hygiene. Scientists wash their hands before and after everything.



12. Science experiments. Wonder aloud enough and you’ll be sure to inspire one.

13. You’ll be updated on all the cool discoveries, research and studies affecting the way we understand how the world works. Your smart date will likely make you smarter.

14. Your own nerdiness will be wholeheartedly embraced.

15. You’ll be dating someone who is always learning and who seems endlessly fascinated in things. That passion is to be admired.
What else? Tell us what’s great about dating a scientist…


All 15 of these qualities are the ones that I have. But, I am not bragging,just telling the truth.

At least I have something that makes me feel good about myself,and something that I have accomplished.Yes,and I am greatful to God for this. For this is a blessing.

Sounds like a good description of a scientist. I've not dated one and never called myself a scientist. But I do have a lot of these characteristics.

How was your weekend workshop, exit?

 

[sparkydave]

Hey, I'm an engineer and fit several of those. I even have a stylish, blue, anti-static lab coat. Add to that being able to fix your computer.

14. Your own nerdiness will be wholeheartedly embraced.

Every man I have ever been with has worn glasses.

Here's a question for ya, "Why NOT date a scientist?"

Here's a question for ya, "Why NOT date a scientist?"

Michelle,I did ask that question in the original post:

" What I would like to know,( Yes,most scientist are curious) what do you all think are the pros and the cons of one dating a scientist are?

One con,in dating a scientist,is that a scientist may not have a belief in God,and/or lack faith. "

Or,were you asking the same question that I was asking,but in a different way?

 

[memoriesbymichelle]

Well one con would be that regular men already are wired to "fix" things and women don't always want things "fixed" so I would imagine a scientist would be even more likely to want to "solve" the "problem".

On the plus side would be that IMO, in order to be a scientist, one would have to be very smart and I can't speak for all women, but I like a man that's smart. But I don't like it when they constantly point out how smart they are or talk to me like a 2 year old, like I can't understand something because I'm not as smart as they are. Been there done that even though he wasn't a scientist. Heck you do it to me all the time on here.

Another con could be that they "may" be too practical or quirky or nerdy. But that can also be an endearing quality for the right woman.

Scientist are not very good with all things emotional...if you can't describe something with measurement, they have a hard time accepting that it is just as "real".

Yes,it is very hard for me to concieve of talking about something instead of trying to solve the problem. For example,I grew up poor and had many money problems. Now,I do not have those same money problems anymore. Yes,I talked about them,but I also did something about those money problems by getting a good education,in order to get a good paying job.

But that is one of the biggest differences between men and women.

Maybe,just,maybe that God did not intend for me to have a wife.Because, by me being a smart man,I would make a lousy husband. If I just cannot deal with a woman's silly emotions,which bugs the heck out of me,while getting on my nerves,then I am not fit to be a husband. I can cook for myself,do my own laundry,clean up,and I can iron my own clothes.If God equiped me to be so self-sufficient,what do need a woman for? I guess that I was just meant to be a good,and a romantic make out artist,who goes from woman to woman. Because,no woman has ever complianed about my abiltiy to give a great,full body,sensual massage.

I can relate to a lot of what your saying, exit. Much of the every day talk didn't seem to add anything to relationships but rather kept relationships from getting serious and dealing with problems. Of course I also eventually learned that I had a number of topics that I avoided because I thought differently than other people. But as I studied, watched people in the same way I studied other topics including theology, home repair and yes even sex and myself, I learned. I learned I avoided some topics because I didn't want people to think badly of me. But then it dawned on me that if I didn't let people know how I felt about topics that they didn't really know me. So I had to learn to reveal myself to other people and face how they reacted. I always hated confrontation. By now I've had enough confrontation in my life that I generally can handle it without to much trauma from it while letting the other person know that I accept them for what they believe. I don't try to convince them to see the world the way I do. I do explain the way I see the world and they can do what they want with that. My relationship isn't based on them accepting my world view. Unless they are obnoxious I can love them, accept them for who they are.

I've rambled enough I guess. lol

"Silly emotions"?...those silly emotions are both a scientific and medical specialty of their own right....just harder to understand because they can't be measured with any measurement devices that we have invented to this day...

 

[blackribbon]

Kind of ironic....there are women who have the relatively emotionless scientist viewpoint but most of you men don't find them attractive. (think Big Bang Theory tv show).

 

[memoriesbymichelle]

The problem with alot of men in general is they always think there is "something" they can "do" to make something better or change something, but this is not always true.
For example, even though I can tan my skin or even spray tan, I can never become black, or mexican, or indian.
Some things WE have no control over and for alot of men (not all) they can't handle not being able to "control" things.

Hey exit, just curious.....Why DO you want to get married? It seems to me all you are interested in is how great you are and sex. I'm not being snarky, but when I read your posts that's what I get, so are you just wanting to marry someone that will worship the ground you walk on and give you all the sex you want?

 

[dayhiker]

I agree silly emotions just means one doesn't understand the nature of God's creation yet. That was me for most of my life and I still got a lot to learn. Took me a long time, like late 50's before I really started to accept and understand emotions. Now I know emotions are intelligent and tells us a lot about a person. We can also have an intelligence about how our own emotions work and by that they can add a lot of meaning to our life. There's a book called "Emotional Intelligence" with a subtitle of why it can matter more than IQ. While I've not read this book I did listen to a TX professor who teaches a class on this topic. Heard 24 lectors giving the history and latest thoughts on emotion. Helped me immensely.

Well,as you may well know by now,I am not like most men. I have always liked smart women.Do you remember the thread I started that asked,"Why DO The Smart Women Not Want Me"?

I am not disappointed if I meet a woman,on a blind date, that has small breasts. Yet,small breasted women treat me as some kind of creep,because I am interested in getting to know them.. These women must think that every man thinks the same thing about a woman's figure.

If a woman makes more money than me,I am fine with that,also. Granted, many men are very insecure.

By the way,I never saw that TV show,The Big Bang Theory

No,Mitchell,I do not want,nor do I need A lot of sex.At 59,my testosterone level is far below than when I was 19 to 21 years old. My testosterone levels must have peaked in 1975,when I was 21 years old.

Now ,as far as getting married is concerned. Well.....I am just following the rules. As a christian,according to the Bible,the only way that someone can legally have sex.........is ......to.....get.......married!

Now,am I right or wrong?

Hey,I am not the one who made up these rules. As I have read from many young single christians,never

married,on these forums,"Why did God give me all of these desires,yet he will not provide me a spouse,so I can legally have sex?"

For me,this is just like a boy,who is a great baseball player,that never gets picked to be on a team. The boy may think." If I am such a good baseball player,that can run fast,hit well,and throw a 90 mile per hour fastball,why am I not ........being.....picked ?"(to be on the team)

How was your weekend workshop, exit?

This workshop was fabulous! First,the location was in Woodside,California.As one can imagine,the houses here are in the woods. Joan Baez lives in this city.Wealthy people live here.The couple charged me only $30.00 per night. I stayed for two nights,with my own sleeping area.This is a 7,500 square foot house! It is huge! The hosting couple bought this house last year for $1,700,000!
When I was looking over the balcony,I thought to myself,"This is why,at age 16,that I wanted to be a professional baseball player! If my team wins the World Series,I would say,"Party at my place for 2 days!" The outdoor shower,by the pool,had a 24 inch water heater. I took a shower outside with warm water! Now,on the balcony,the railing had some dry rot. I did not dare mentioned that to the owner of the house.

Yes,I am greatful to God for my possesions.I am contented in that area of my life. I was not jealous of this couple.However,I am greatful to God,and of course to this couple,for letting me experience what it was like to live in a million dollar plus home.

Now,about the class on relationships and connecting with people.We were taught that if someone rejects you,that that person is really sparing you from a lot of grief. When rejecting someone,you should say,"No,but thank you for asking."
So the male teacher asked me,in front of the class,"S,....may I kiss you?"
I told him,"No,but thank you for asking." The female teacher imediately asked me,"S,....may I kiss you?" Without thinking,I said,"Yes!!" Everyone in the whole room started laughing! I was supposed to reject her,also.

This is a prime example of how we get into "trouble" when we don't think.
My response to her was supposed to be,"No,but thank you for asking"
