# hahah I like that
16 meh, only illegal if I get caught. my lack of women makes me sad. I dunno if it's the hair, the beard, the clothes or the maths major :(

# 16's quite legal
but she was about 14 in that film....

14 = 16 ± 2

# hahaha
that's a reasonable margin of error

# heeehehee
I abandoned experimental physics a long time ago...but I did discover something :)

# I ditched astrophysics
when I got sick of error bars covering the whole graph, and being given good marks for finding out a galaxy cluster was 15+-10MPc away. Someone else in the group got something like 13+-15 and still got good marks. It could be 2Mpc behind us! Stupid subject.

# Haha, bloody hell.
I expect that's only 1 standard deviation, as well.
Now I'm in medical physics, we like to be fairly certain about things.

# I bloody hope so,t oo
Astrophysics doesn't really seem to mind.



edit: 1 standard deviation, yes.

so stupid people can still be scientists

# I stand by my statement
an astrophysicst didn't bang me when I wanted her to.

# I've had that experience
Damned astrophysicists. She then went for another astrophysicist, two years younger than her. Silly girl.

# there's nothing wrong with older women
they are mature, and sensible, not like spoiled little turds.

# I'm not knocking older women
(fnarr fnarr), it was just that she went for younger men and I was a year older than her :(

# didums... oh well
I'm not knocking older women either, inspite of the fact I want to

# It could even be the offering to cover people in garlic sauce.
Strangely enough, my girlfriend actually likes it when I talk physics, for reasons I've never quite understood.

If it helps, I found that drinking lots helped kick things off.

where else can I look?

# Even beter
Find a woman who's had the same idea and is also a physicist. That can work well. There aren't *many* women physicists, alas, but there's some great ones out there.

# Strangely enough, there's quite a few in Medical Physics, maybe 30-50%.
I'm not sure where they come from, because there were hardly any on my degree course.

#
when i was doing my degree in theoretical physics we had about 10% or less. there's a few more in astrophysical/cosmological type of things though.

bad luck. go and chat with the physicists instead....

# And being enthusiastic
I've actually been able to talk to girls about physics without getting weird looks and told to fuck off out of their faces.

But it helps to know them a bit first. "Hey, baby, I've got a Masters in Theoretical Physics. Want to hear about the Top Quark?" is not the best chatup line.

# Yeah, that's true.
You have to at least try to make it sound interesting.
