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.

gtc 01-03-2011 01:08 PM

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

tcar 01-03-2011 01:11 PM

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.

RWebb 01-03-2011 02:00 PM

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.

M.D. Holloway 01-03-2011 03:00 PM

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!!!

porsche4life 01-03-2011 04:38 PM

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?

Union was 2000 students, total! How many at Syracuse?

One of my "friend of a friend" acquaintances got into ballet for the ratio of men to women. He was about the only heterosexual male in a gaggle of small athletic limber women. He had some pretty wild stories.

vash 01-04-2011 05:37 AM

my good friend danced for the SF ballet!! we teased him when we were young. he got the last laugh.

Truly one of my regrets - in my limited experiences with a chick that was into ballet was that albeit a bit weird prolly some of the best frolics I had - tempo, pace, endurance combined with physicality, athleticism and beauty not to mention muscle control that could literally keep you in place in they so wished it! Only problem was her azz was the size of two grapefruits! Granted she was a size zero but it made me feel like I was Walt Chamberlain or something - I prefer a little more size...

My new bride is a ballerina. 'Nuff said.

That was funny, had to stifle a LOL here at work.

Widebody, I didn't know you got married. Congrats, guess that will keep you off the doll site.

I work in an industry that is about 98% male and most of the two percent of women live "alternative" lifestyles.

Eye heart boobies, but not at work.
