20 Reasons why you should date an Engineer...
1 We believe in necking until something breaks.
2 The world revolves around us... since we pick the co-ordinate system.
3 We understand fluid flow and heat transfer.
4 No 'couple' enjoys a better 'moment'.
5 We know how to handle with stress and strain in a relationship.
6 Its not the size of the vector, but how you apply the force.
7 We can go all night without fatigue.
8 We will pass any hardness test.
9 Experimenting is a must, and we love to do it in the lab.
10 We elongate when we get loaded... just like beams.
11 We can do your math and science homework.
12 Projectile Motion... very fun to demonstrate.
13 We are trained to do it right the first time.
14 Learn about the benefits of friction and viscosity
15 We know alot about the dynamics of rigid bodies.
16 We love to erect things.
17 You can find out what those other buttons on your calculator do.
18 We can fix that flashing "12:00" on your VCR.
19 You can learn about the "method of joints"
20 Nuts and Bolts, nuff said.

1. Marines are also good to date.
They aren't too smart, and take orders really well. ;)

4. You know, arguing with an engineer
is like mud wrestling with a pig. After a while, you realize he likes it.

:P

8. I have some karmic thing to work out with Engineers ...
Spirit keeps bringing them into my life, and they keep flabbergasting me. There have been 6 in my life so far, and I'm only 38. :wow:

I am a complete big-picture, right brain, don't bother me with the details kind of woman, and I regularly run up against these control/detail/everything has an answer freaks who call themselves engineers.

Can I please just get my lesson and move on ? They're driving me insane !!!


:hippie:

9. Haha, I know what you're talking about..
and I'm only about two months into the engineering program in school (and mind you, ready to switch out of it as evidenced by this thread I posted about an hour ago: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=1949728&mesg_id=1949728 :) )

10. The only engineer I know is married and
hates being in public.

I would date an engineer but I have yet to meet one who is not married.
