What do you think of a professor whom often makes jokes about how he is unlucky in love during classtime?

Question

I have a teacher that I took a class with 3 years ago and he used to make jokes about how he was unlucky in love. He was single at the time. His jokes were really very funny, though. He became engaged 9 months ago. However, last week he hosted an event at college and he was STILL making jokes about him being unlucky in love. What does it mean?

1 do you teach university or community college?
2 what subject do you teach?
3 how long have you been teaching?

Answer 1

Some professors find some kind of joke that works for them and stick with it. I had a colleague years ago - an older man who had a whole series of jokes about the entertainer Ann Margaret as a way of connecting with the students. By the 1980s, he realized that most students didn't know who Ann Margaret was, so he replaced her name in all the jokes with Madonna's to update them. I once asked a student how the class was going, and she said, "Well, he seems like a nice man, but it is kind of odd - he seems to have this weird obsessive crush on Madonna!"

Answer 2

This sounds unprofessional to me. I would have probably put up with it when I was younger, but in my 30's now I would be pretty annoyed if someone wanted to waste my time that way.

Answer 3

well probably your professor just want to enlighten your days with him beccause base on what you have said that you guys have un with that may be he still believs that telling that kind of koke carcks you guys out of yourselves...hehehe
