My first post on uber, so flame away, it's the only way I'll learn.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Physics has always been a male dominated subject at universities and even at school, however I never realised how bad the situation was until I decided that physics would be a good choice of course at university.
For those of you who don't know, attractive women do not do physics at university. Its like there's something they know about science that we don't. Still when it comes to a lack of eye friendly females, physics is by far and away the worst. Sure, you could make a case for engineering subjects, maths or even in some cases chemistry, but none of them really come close to the number of times I am forced to recoil in disgust every day of my life. Some times I worry that I am becoming tolerant to the barrage of optical obscenities that grace my lecture theatres everyday....
So I have compiled this, a list of the types of women who actually take physics, in the hope that others may learn from my experience.
1. Hirsute Women.
This is perhaps not as bad as it sounds until you get too close. I had quite a nasty experience on this front. A girl that looked vaguely passable from a distance in an astronomy lecture appeared in a club I was in later. After a several beers she still looked good, so I thought I'd try my luck. She wasn't having any of it, and I ended up waking up next to her friend, which turned out to be a very big mistake. The next day the original girl was trying to persuade me to call her friend, and I noticed something about the way she spoke.
Something just wasn't quite right, and I couldn't quite work it out in my hungover pain. On closer inspection of the way she was speaking I spotted what can only be described as a small rodent colony on her upper lip. Further research indicated that this facial hair was not only more impressive than mine, but was not confined to just her face.
2. 2 Asses.
The girl who probably has a nice personality if you ever got to know her, but you can't get past her sheer size. This girl has so much excess that her back fat is forced together to form a second cleavage. You'd think she would cover that up but no; everyone gets a full on view of not one but two ass cracks. Lovely.
3. Hippy
Again could be attractive, if she ever washed. These girls always seem to have dirty faces, dirty clothes and probably all manner of diseases. And they're annoying to talk to.
4. Indeterminate Sex
Don't be fooled by that harsh manly exterior, those are not man breasts saggy as they look. Generally offensive to look at.
5. The cute one with the glasses...
The one who gets upgraded in you mind because you are faced with all of the above everyday of your life. If you saw her in a pub, you'd probably take one look a rate her at 5 or 6, but in the physics environment she is suddenly the dominant female. This gives her way more confidence than is necessary and she spends all her time bitching about why men outside of physics don't like her. Soon she'll be wondering why men inside physics don't like her either.
Its like my supervisor once said, 8 beers down...
"You know why yoursh shingle?? You're on the the wrong coursh, what you need is marine biology...."
And then promptly passed out.

result: I WIN!

BUT.. as a woman in physics, I feel the urge to respond with what will also be *my* first post. Thanks for the inspiration... ;)

Loki: Good guess, I'm British.
And I never said that intelligent women can't be attractive, some of the most beautiful women I know have absolutely brillaint minds. They're just in the minority.

That's just wrong. All these male comments about science taking women being ugly.
I love science all forms of science and always have.
I am not a scientist. I have work paid tuition and take science couses just for fun, because I like it THAT much. I wish I was a research scientist. I still may become one if I can pull it off in the future.
I am not ugly, at least that is what I am told. I have done modeling in the past and was homecoming queen at my high school. Perhaps I am in the minority here, but still I dislike this stereotype

I was a Physics major for a year, and previous to that experience I had considered myself to have decently high standards. After that year, every girl I had ever dated suddenly became 10's in comparison to those beasts in Physics. I switched to Mathematics, and my situation didn't improve (in particular I am thinking of this mutant in my Partial Diff. Eq. course that could have easily passed for Sasquatch). Oh well, attractive females and Math/Science just don't mix, I suppose.

I would imagine physics is pretty bad, but I can't help but side with computer engineering on this one. Take computer science, and add engineering to it, you don't even have ugly girls left for the most part, there are simply no girls.

Good first post.
Unless you are an absolute genius, physics isn't going to do you much good career-wise, though it does provide a nice basis for some of the more 'marketable' skills.

That was good, made me laugh. Congratulations, first timer, ubersite needs more people who write as well as you do (and less people who write as badly as i do).
I'm a university student too, taking anthropology and spanish. Both are definitely female-dominated subjects ( in most of my classes, i'm the only guy). Sounds promising, but i assure you, you wouldn't want to be alone in a room with these girls. I wonder why this course attracts so many elk faced prudes. Maybe its simply that, on the whole, english girls are ugly.

I thought this was awesome. ... But you know what they say, "if you want to be happy for the rest of your life, you'd better make an ugly woman your wife ..."
They may be gross, but at least they'll be able to afford the plastic surgery "maintenance" when they're banking as intellectual property attorneys, engineers and scientific researchers.

Engineering is just as bad. There are a few really hot women in my department, unfortunately they make up about .001% of the students, which means they are taken.
Guess I should of gone into elementary education. Its super easy, pretty much everyone enrolled is a woman, and if it doesn't work out I could date a student.........did I say that out loud?

Or how about "Hey she's really smart and has nothing wrong with her?"

You are making a huge mistake majoring in Physics. Take it from one who has walked that path.

It is exactly the same way in computer science. When I went to school, it was the business classes that had all the babes.
