LJ: Semi-True Story

"I think, therefore I am single," I read from her shirt. "Funny."

She shrugged, a sour expression on her face. "Not that funny, really."

Sad but true... it was probably significant that, of the students in the master's program in philosophy, none of the women were married, even though three or four of the guys were. Women dug smart guys, even if they were a little geeky... okay, a lot geeky. Guys dug smart girls a lot less.

Some women were content with their studies. Others resorted to cheap tactics to get noticed... like plastering humorous slogans across their tits.

Sorry to keep commenting on my own work...

While I never spotted any of my female colleagues in the philosophy department wearing a shirt with that particular message, it is 100% true that none of the female master's students were married, while a decent chunk of us males (including myself, as of the end of my first year) were.

And yes, I'm a lot geeky. We all were.
