No, and no offense taken. I actually didn't realize how socially awkward he was until we went on our first date. That's when I read the craigslist thing after I did a google search after the weekend date.

I'm smitten because he seems so genuine. He has his flaws, as do I, but I joined the community to better understand how his brain might work. He may be more of a conceptualizer and me... a memorizer. Or he may be very visual, like any 42 year old, staring at a 20 something fitness model/stripper with blonde hair and gigantic boobies.

I'm an honest, trustworthy person however. One in a million when it comes to the adult entertainment industry.

Like I said, we're both in the bodybuilding industry and he has a rockin body, great mind, but he's not the most suave of characters.

I'm just throwing it out there, sharing and seeing what comes back my way. I think this man could make me a very, very happy girl, free of controlling judgement, but then again... Like everything in life, he could just be blowing smoke up my skirt. Time will tell...

But, my father is actually a Molecular Biologist, and it is instinctual for women to look for those same characteristics in a male partner they find endearing in their own father. Who is an awesome dad by the way.

LOL @ Cap`n

 

 

my wife an I are currently sitting next to each other on the bed, emailing each other on our laptops!

I sent her that link

LMAO! I actually read that... and it brought me here.

In bed emailing?... Nice... To each their own.

I'm glad I could stir the pot and get some responses though. Thanks guys.

What is there to say?

I'm not sure what you want from this thread...

 

Chemists are indeed just people. some are shy, some are totally extrovert, some never leave the house and some go out a lot and party until they drop. That goes for all scientists and engineers and people in general.

 

Being yourself is probably the most important. There's no point in trying to become scientific as well... you can show some interest of course, but you won't become a scientist from reading here, and studying a weekend (ok, if you keep coming here every day for the next 2-5 years, then you might start to get an idea).

 

Don't pretend that you understand science when you don't. It's usually pretty easy to find out when somebody is clueless.

Okaaaay, I have a general science degree with a minor in Chemistry so I'm not a total effen retard. I do like to play one because it makes life easier if people think you're stupid.

I'm a firefighter and when I'm not doing that I'm a stripper and nude model, so my life is pretty wild.

My problem is... I've never dated a total nerd before. I've read a ton about it. Nerds can make great mates. Very loyal, logical, caring, and understanding. So I'm going for it right now, but what if I get bored. All part of being in a relationship I guess. Nice guys don't always finish last so I'm going for it.

My question is... Did you ever marry a total nerd? or a bombshell, and how's it going?

Polymer? LOL Silicone is the only way to go these days baby.

Earth Science, Bio, Chemistry, Physiology, I've got a pretty good grasp.

So that's not the problem. I'm not a vendictive person at all I just never dated this type of guy before so I was hoping for some insight to your own personal experiences that's all.

I agree, the last thing this guy wants to hear about is my strip club adventures and fighting fire in the middle of the desert. I hope is works out:)

Are all you guys single or what?

134 views and nobody has any experiences to share... Man it's not looking good for my new love. I hope he's not as apprehensive to communicate as you fellas. Sorry, that was mean, but I was expecting a little more warmth and a little less judgement.

Something I would try is to read between the lines a bit... Not everything is in black and white.

Many women go into the sciences. Sadly I'm afraid... They don't really hang out here.

Thanks YT2. I definitely feel comfortable being myself around him. He's sort of a nerd, and a little socially awkward. He's got a smokin body but not especially handsome. I'm a blonde with big fake boobs. Lol

But I find his awkwardness very endearing. He's not the typical egotisical type I attract.

I guess I'm just wondering if I'm ready to settle down yet. He would stand by me no matter what I decided. We are both being open and honest with each other. He's great but wants to be more serious. It's a big step because he lives 1000 miles away.

Hmmm...

Just thinking out loud.

Darn! Everyone looks but nobody throws anything out there. Let's hear it Science Forum! I need some insight:-)

I'm new... Hello! Very nice to meet you:-)

Hi guys and gals:-)

So I recently started dating a very nice Chemist. I'm 26 and he's 42. Very smart and successful.

I've never dated this type of guy before. I usually end up with the egotistical, controlling, manipulative "salesman" type.

I'm excited but apprehensive.

I know he would do anything to make me happy but will I be happy? I'm used to a very fast paced lifestyle. I can't say it's served me, but I'm goin 100mph most of the time.

It's so new to me I'm not quite sure what to do:confused:

Does that make any sense?

Anyway I was hoping to get some ideas and some stories from other professional scientists regarding relationships. How did you meet your significant other and is she/he your total opposite? How is it working out?
