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

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

  3. 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.”

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

    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.

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

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

  8. 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.

  9. What about “electro-domination?”

    @pepito0511 What’s wrong with industrial engineers?

    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

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

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

  16. what do you mean by industrial engineer?

  17. 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?

  18. StoneMTNboy2009 on June 30th, 2010 at 1947

    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.

    So the ledgends were true. There ARE human females in the field!

    I solved the problem by dating/marrying a horse women (vet, actually). They have almost as little experience with men as we do with women!

  21. You give me too much credit. He still only wears the tshirts that 1) he got for free from the companies he has worked for, 2) were given to him by friends who bought them on their travels, or 3) that I got for free from companies I have worked for that I then give to him. My favorite tshirt of his has a picture of a bar of soap which has a face, little legs and arms with the phrase “rub me on your butt”:) What can I say… I am one of those strange beings: a female engineer!

  22. anengineeringmind on June 30th, 2010 at 2208

    I’m totally more attractive, and funnier, than him. I challenge him to a geeky-humor-off!

  23. anengineeringmind on June 30th, 2010 at 2231

    That sounds like a video topic all by itself! Tell me, how long did it take for you to get him to wear a shirt with a collar?

  24. lol! I am a female engineer and I date a male engineer. It took me a long time to train him:)

    @CaraSophia I’m a female engineer too!
