The fact that some body is unemployed has nothing to do with his/her competence sometimes when considering those ups and downs mixed together.

An engineer is a special breed... I did my undergrad at CMU. There is a tunnel vision which most would call a passion to their work. You have to realize that if you are in a relationship with an engineer, much like being in a relationship with an artist, their occupation IS their mistress. They are loyal but obsessed. The brilliance of their work is so overlooked because it is esotericwhen compared topopular culture. For the other personi it must be like when the baby comes home from the hospital......there is no choice, we all now need to share.

I too have been matched with excessive numbers of engineers, although I suspect this is a reflection of the geographic location I live in - the Boston region. I've not had any engineer scammers yet, but sadly most of my engineers have been socially inept

I used to work in a company that was established by engineers and had a cultured maintained by them. I have to stereotype but "socially inept" is putting it mildly.

Why are there so many engineers looking for love: Well after 25 years of being married to an aerospace engineer...I called it quits.


I found out life is out there, I don't have to eat dinners alone, watch TV alone, raise the kids alone...or just be alone.


Hubby ask me after his 3rd wife what was wrong with him??? Heck...I knew the answer... get a life... work less, play more and give love a chance. Engineers love to work....they live to work, and set their priorities to work.....Hope your 4th wife works out Harold !!!

But seriously, being a hardcore longtime authenic college degreed software engineer, I sense that I am a bit too logical and analytical for my own good. My brain guards my heart, and I tend not to be as emotionally available as fast as some women are used to or would like.


Women who cant understand why I dont emotionally connect right away may put the geek, stuck up, etc., stereotype on me. And women who cant connect right away in a deep, analytical, logical conversation with me I tend to write off fast, too, if I am not careful.


Only fellow hard core engineers seem to understand my dark, cynical sense of humor. When it comes to going out in public to meet women, maybe I am not as willing or comfortable to have my "flirt" on as fast as they are.


Online dating is also easier for me since I sit in front of a computer all day.

Anyone who has to ask the question has obviously never been married to (and happily divorced from) one.

I am new to EH and I actually chose to do the advice thing, not the whole site just to see what it is like. This is scaring me to death. When I posted that I was a teacher it is because THAT IS WHAT I DO! I was told that this site was safe and people were honest. How can you have any degree of confidence that you are not communicating with a nut? Well change my occupation please to engineer. My father is one and so that will justify it I guess.
