Mathematicians and women?

Question

I have always been brilliant at Math, but bad at getting women.

I wonder if any super Math guys could tell me success stories with getting women? In the end, I want one woman...but I need many to start off and pick the right one.

How do I act like I am not into Math and more into being a rude boy?

Answer 1

first of all there is no shame in being brilliant in mathematics.
Second, you can behave anyway you want, nothing is stopping you.
Third, just be yourself and date (go out) with as many girls as you can... just ask them out.
Forth, most of the mathematicians I know are married or dating someone. .

Answer 2

I'm not "brilliant at Maths" but I work as one and it took me a while to figure out why married and divorced women would always talk to me like I was a normal human being, while single women didn't want to know me. The rude boy thing only works on women who are hopeless or who've never had to live with one, and as soon as you forget to put on the rudeboy act she'll lose interest. The older a woman gets the more likely she is to appreciate someone who applies his energy to constructive pursuits instead of trying to be cool. Doubly so if she has kids. She's also more likely to have reached a level of comfort within herself that allows your attention to be divided between her and your profession (and if she has a profession of her own her attention will be sufficiently divided that this shouldn't be an issue). Needless to say almost all the women I've tangled with have been older than me.

Intelligence is a turn-on for a lot of women, so don't switch it off. But make sure your intelligence and problem solving ability shows up in everyday life and conversation, not just amongst the matrices and integrals, otherwise she'll never see it. You won't be much of a companion if maths is all you ever think about (except to a woman who only ever thinks about maths).

Answer 3

Hey, I love math, and it is true that most women don't really like mathematicians, but every person is different and there is no reason to look foe excuses in mathematics.
I would love to find a guy that loves math, or that has at least decent math skills, but having math skills is not the first thing I'm looking for, and so I don't believe any woman would refuse dating you only because you are mathematician.
Don't take math as a negative thing, try to make the best of it, but also try to have a life out of it.
good luck!

Answer 4

Well I met this girl in university... my problem was, when she told me her phone number it was 5 in the morning, we were both drunk and had nothing to write. I had to find a way to remember her number by memory.

The number was 473-4734 so I mentally repeated this to myself while walking back to my room, all the while knowing too well that I would forget it miserably. But just as I was losing hope, I moved the dash and added another one. Her number was now 4-734-734 !!!

Without that number I would never have seen her again because she wasn't that interested in me at first. All I did was be myself, tell her that I had a great time with her and ask her on a date.

That was 17 years ago. Now we have two kids who like math.

Answer 5

To Linda P, who says "the right girl will come to you it might take a while but that s life!" , i would like to say YEAH RIGHT!!.. its gonna be a very very long wait if you take that advice.... And to Mr. Math... do not pretend to be someone else... it never works.... what you need to do is put yourself out there.. Take care of your personal hygiene, if your wardrobe sucks get something new, get a good haircut (anything that looks good on you).. Now get out there and put yourself on the line. Talk to girls you find interesting... as for personal looks no one can do anything much about that... but you gotta project confidence, fake it at first even if you dont feel it. Chix dig confidence... Oh and being rich doesn't hurt...

Answer 6

Don't act like your not into mathematics. Instead, be proud of your mathematical skills. Go to math conferences and other events where mathemeticians, physisists, engineers and other careers that make heavy use of math and you will undoubtebly meet several girls/women who share your love of math. That would certainly lead to a good relationship. You don't want to spend your life with a woman who doesn't share your love of math, do you?

Answer 7

Not a smart idea for acting like a 'bad boy'

While it works in Hollywood, 'bad boys' don't work at all in real life. Unless there's a REAL good reason.

If you want a woman that likes you for yourself, then act normally. As in be yourself.

I know it sounds corny, but trust me, I used to live in a household that was dominated by the better gender.

Answer 8

I haven't tried this yet, but this is what I would do.

Let us assume that we have many women. Since we can have
only finitely many of them, without loss of generality, we can
assume that there are n (> 1) many women. Ignoring possibility
of physical arrangement, let us line up n women. From your
view, pick the right-most one. One can easily convince that
she is the right one (pretty much by construction).

Exercise: show that the choice of the right one in the argument
is independent of the initial linear arrangement of n women,
i.e. no matter which linear arrangement we choose, the right-most
one would be always the right one.

Answer 9

Don't try to pretend to be a rude boy or anything other than what you are. Otherwise you'll be pretending for the rest of your life. "to thine own self be true". Some women like math guys, probably more than those who like phonys.

Answer 10

In addition to the other advice you have received, I would just like to reiterate that there are women out there also in to math. We may be rare and hard to find, but we exist. Keep looking.
