Surrounded by college girls?
On a mechanical engineering course?

In truth, not really.
There were plenty of cute little things on campus, certainly, but none that I ever would have had a chance to interact with. And besides, when I looked at them I didn't so much see potential bedmates as potential babysitters.

Let's face it- a 35 year old man is all but invisible to college age girls anyway, as it should be. It wasn't like I was going to have some little Jessica Alba throwing herself at me. Yet try explaining that to her- she was convinced that it was going to be just like the movies, with the horny co-eds flirting with the dashing older man and him having his pick of nubiles.

The truth is that what I was surrounded by were nerdy guys and a handful of equally nerdy girls with the social skills of Pee Wee Herman. I was more drawn to the female professors. (In all honesty, had I been able to get together with my Circuits teacher I would have leapt at the chance.)

Welcome to the Sciences and Applied Sciences
I'm a Chemist. I'm typical of the breed in that yeah I'm nerdy at times, but also reasonably personable except for the fact I say "Fuck" a lot. Physics majors tend to be very nerdy, and Biology seems to have a lot more hot, arty types.

As for Mech Engs, What I remember from College was that they were sort of half way between Chemists and Physics in personality. They also used to drive / ride some really old vehicles, that were immaculately maintained, and in better nick than when they were built.
For Instance a 20 year old Honda Superdream without a speck of rust, and with an electrical system of NASA standard? Mech Eng.
