Where are all the men?
 
Over the holiday, I visited my friend who is in Veterinary school at IA State. He was showing me around the campus and I stopped at this podium to look at the yearbook for 2010…. It is him and 2 other guys, the rest are all women. I have been taking some night classes at one of my local community colleges and men are defiantly the minority. WTF is this “glass ceiling” thing I have been hearing about. And where are all the men? Getting stoned and playing video games? I like women as much as anyone else but sometimes its nice to escape the cattiness and just work with study with (whatever) another DUDE.

not me...surround me with a bunch of women anytime. all shapes and sizes, looks..whatever. it cracks me up how women interact with each other. i love getting in the mix.

kyle, you should be getting a box shortly..sent it last weds.

Vet school = chicks

Take some engineering classes if you want to hang with a bunch of dudes.

probably why i feel the way i do...engineering school is all dudes.

Go visit a friend in engineering or physics school and report back. You may not find many US born students, but I guarantee the ratio will be the opposite.

Fewest female students of all engineering in Mechanical Engineering...I'll bet a beer on that.


But I'm with Vash....the women will either be entertaining or entertainment (wink) if you are confortable with your manhood. All the girls I knew in college would have made better study pals than my guy friends, 'cept they weren't in engineering.

Engineering is a distaff desert.

My wife was a MechE. One of 3, I think, in her class. A class of hundreds...

Highest number of chicks were in ChemE. They were all gunning for jobs at cosmetics and pharmaceutical corps.

My field, operations research, had a reasonable number of girls. At least 6 of them that I could remember. Two of them were even ok-looking. Well, they had big knockers anyway. It was a serious trade up from when I was in CS. I don't remember seeing ANY girls in my advanced classes.

Gheyest thread name of 2011 ;)

That wasn't the case when I was at IA State. Damnit.

I went to school for Mechanical Engineering (Kettering University).
There were tons of women in my class, but not very many.

Look at the roster in a Medical School...

Not all women, but over 50%.

When I was at Union College (graduated 1988) we had 5-6 women out of 50 Mech E's. That was a fantasic ratio at the time! EE had almost no women. Civil had a few.

why are you looking for men???

for history, when I went to Case, there were 3 women there (1970). Only one was worth looking at. LUCKILY, the other side of campus (Western Reserve - pre-meds, etc.) had normal ratios of women. I switched dorms as fast as I could.

You buncha poor masterbaiters! For undergraduate, I went to a school that was 15 girls to every guy! And to make it even more enjoyable we lived in refurbished mansions on the beach! Seriously!!!

I was getting cooties by girls I had no bidness even talkin to!!!

Men are definitely the minority in my classes as well....

I got hammered once at Union. Prolly around '88. However, Syracuse was a lot more fun. Rochester had the worst doughnuts to sausages ratio.

You sit in an office full of men, I sit in an classroom full of cute college girls. Who has the better life?
