www.anengineeringmind.com Engineers are a special breed of people, and therefore careful consideration must me made on their parts throughout the dating process. I’d like to share some hints that I found.

    A woman’s review: this is very funny, but this guy is totally WRONG about DUTCH. Being cheap is one of the best ways to stay single, guys!

  2. Bentrider1956 says:

    Nurses, doctors, medical residents, and other allied health professionals are a good match for engineers, too. They tend not to be prissy (they cut up human beings in school, after all), don’t expect you to kiss their butts, they work long hours too, and they’re intelligent enough to have a conversation with.

    God damn spys gets all the girls

    @1hotbeautyqueen traps on the Internet do not count as female engineers.

    This is the best advice ever. “Think about topics you really enjoy, then talk about something else.” :-)

    WHAT… I CANT SAY LINUX : (

  7. calebp9503 says:

    think about something you really enjoy … and then talk about something else. LMAO!

    female engineer (mm hypothetically?). I love nerdy shirts and home-made gadgets. NOT dating an engineer just sounds so wrong….

  9. dandvd says:

    LOL @2:06: “When it comes to dinner conversation, think about a topic you enjoy, then talk about something else.”

    However, logically speaking, the advice is flawed because you could think about, say, World of Warcraft, and talk about something else, like electrical circuits.

    A better version would be “When it comes to dinner conversation, think about all the topics you enjoy, then talk about something else.”

    Todd, since when did my existence become “hypothetical”???

  11. esquadmiller says:

    I absolutely disagree with the very last advice. It doesn’t really matter what would another “though” guy or anyone else do. When you’re in a difficult situation and don’t know what to do, either do nothing, or admit you are confused and ask for help.

  12. tintinlady says:

    I am an engineer and my husbands a nurse. Now who is the bitch! LOL

  13. echannelSSE says:

    I have a video along the same lines, except it’s a guide TO engineers. Check it out on metacafe… A guide to engineers.

  14. FM897 says:

    LOL cute video. However, there are women out there who don’t care so much about money. But it’s nice to see that there are really cool guys in the engineering world. Too bad you’re married ;)

    I have a question for you: would two engineers make a good couple? I only ask because I’m a female who is studying to be an engineer and would love to date another engineer.

    What about “electro-domination?”

  16. SlowPoke3111 says:

    @pepito0511 What’s wrong with industrial engineers?

  17. danger163 says:

    lol, GREAT!

  18. headsplode says:

    Awesome and nerdy :D

  19. JuanElNegrote says:

    Try this one if you are dating a non engineer female.

    If you really whant to know if your lady really loves you take her to the space or air museum a complete day and explaine to her stuff like how a turbofan, turbine or rocket engine work and if after that she still is intrested in you…

    Jack Pot!!!
    Thats the one my brother

    Greetings from Mexico

    @pepito0511 – If you are referring to the ring he points to in the video, its a wedding ring.

  21. pepito0511 says:

    lol is it a joke? umm i mean systems engineer aka industrial engineer, has to do with studying systems and optimization/ operations research/ ergonomics

  22. Basstide says:

    what do you mean by industrial engineer?

  23. pepito0511 says:

    hi are you canadian? i thought only canadian engineering grads got the iron ring.. i might be completely wrong, anyways im studying to be an engineer!!yay! but i have a question for you: Why do engineers make fun of industrial engineers?

  24. StoneMTNboy2009 says:

    hahahaha, wow this is funny. I’m a new engineering student and I see a lot the stuff you talk about. Man I hope it doesn’t rub off on me.
