Wild Animal Screams Replaced By Human Voices

Can someone please fund my study on what happens to someone who spends every night in bar?

Female art students, this is important.

I did Computer Engineering, but I hung out with the art students. I tried to, anyway.

Great stock picture ... epitomy of a nerd.

I'm in the Science faculty... It may also have to do with the thing against pre-marital sex, since I notice that my faculty is predominantly asian. (75%+) Of course, I come from a city where there are a lot of asians. Also, in the Science faculty, the majority of the students are male lol.

It's not as bad as the engineering, where its pretty much all male. : P

I don't think it was them choosing to stay in and study... more like didn't get asked out to the party.

lol@ female art students
XD

"Hey, don't knock masturbation. It's sex with someone I love."

Im doing aerospace engineering. I spend plenty of time at the library and get pretty good grades. I used to be a real party animal, still am actually but not so much(no more spontaneous week long drinking binges in another country). I think why i do get laid and get decent grades at the same time is that i really enjoy learning new things. Im not even into it to get a *good job* or anything(i used to work in construction for 2 years and was making pretty good money with that).
The thing is that many *science nerds* that i study with seem to have no clue about what they are doing or why they are doing it. Most of them are afraid of *disappointing their parents. Some just drift along because doing math and science is the only thing they know. Being a science nerd does not prevent you from having sex. Having that narrow mindset, being under great pressure from your parents, being clueless about world outside of *go to uni-geta good job-become successful* is what actually isolates those people from society.

This is new news???

What's even more amazing is that most virgins are male science nerds. And children. And the religious. And eunuchs. Actually it's not that amazing.

I'm confused to what this study was getting at. It doesn't sound to be thought out very well. I mean, there could be the possibily that people that are naturaly socialy awquard stress their studies over socializing, or those that don't have the money to spend on higher education spend more time socialy. This research sounds too narrow minded to be really worth anything.

This study brought to you by a grant from the Duh Foundation.

Oh God. This explains everything.

(female Engineer 20+ years who has quit to go into Art)

I love studies which have results blown out of context.

What was studied? What were the controls for comparison? How was it blinded? The paper seems to indicate self-selection for starters, with a massive bias towards women responding over the boys.

There's some great science going on out there...and yet this is what newspapers latch onto? *sigh*

"And the most sexually active? Female art students."

OK, but what about most sexually active with the opposite sex?

Sex IS art ;)

Uhhh...I'm a female art student who's also a nerd (well, geek). What about me? Am I the exception to the rule?

Then again, I'm studying interactive media design, so maybe I'm a mix of both.

Ha ha Kevin R. Ba-dum Tsst.

NicoNicoNico, If that's the case then I have a question for you:

Wana go out for drinks? ;)

Same here Nico, and wait for the shocker... also a natural blond. We can be the exceptions to the rule :P

Yes, this is why I had so much fun as an engineering student. ;^)

Leokins..
this probably means that they cancel eachother out and you have a 'normal' sex life.
either that or the nerds* you draw with are too scared to talk to you and you have a.. less sexy sex life..

I don't know for sure cuz
I'm a male art student and a nerd and ain't gettin' any..
:\

*nerds like me!

I am a female art student so I found this article amusing. I don't feel that it is true though. As far as I've seen, the Communications/Journalism majors are the most sexually active.

oh yeah, communication chicks, definately!

too funny :)

I also think there's a contributing factor here that is explained well in the movie 'Idiocracy'. Basically, it seems the more intelligent people are (male or female), the less likely they will have kids (and if so, fewer). And vice versa (less intelligent leans towards having more kids). :P

Is this study better than the 2007 MIT/Wellesley study? "Sexual Health" may be a more prestigious journal, but the study's sample size (n=185) seems awfully small. It looks like the MIT study was able to break down the categories with a lot more resolution.

Am not!!

I kinda thought pretty much anybody who lived in residence would be sexually active.

As a female who did an undergrad degree in a male field, I can attest to the truth of the article and tell you that some women in these science areas were able to easily obtain significant others. Basically, we were the only women whom these guys often talked to on a regular basis (even if it was only to compare answers for problem sets). And also, sometimes, we were the only women who shared significant interests with them and could relate to them and could tolerate some of their behavior (only some, there were some guys who were just hopeless and did things like not bathe for a week). Because of the male to female ratio in my field, I often had dates in college when my friends in the humanities had trouble located men they shared interests with.

There was an interesting phenomenon where sometimes you found yourself socializing a guy (on how to interact with women) only to have him be a better boyfriend for someone else.

I do want to point out that, at least when I was in college (yes years ago), the chinese and korean guys didn't lack for dates because they often had contact with others through ethnic student groups (like the chinese student association) but they could hold conservative views about sex.
