Is this true for anyone else?
(I fit option #3)
Lesson55.jpg (73.1 KB, 173 downloads) 1 year old 
Haha, my husband is an engineer. He is taking 2 graduate engineering classes right now and working full time and it sucks!
We fit option 1.
Both my dad and FFIL are engineers, so this cracked me up. FFIL fits #1, but my dad doesn't fit any! Haha, thanks for the laugh.
I'm an Option #3 too! He's IE and I'm BME! 
Very funny, we're option #2, he surprisingly and thankfully has great people skills (which is pretty rare based on our accounts with some of his co-workers). He's actually told me about this too. When he was in grad school, he would see how one decent looking girl would be the center of attention from all the guys.
This is funny! FI isn't an engineer but I am. If we reverse it I would say we fit #2! Lol :)
My husband is an engineer. I would say we're #2. But there was a long-running joke amongst his friends that if he didn't find a woman by a certain age, that he would just order one from Russia named Svetlana. I threw him a surprise 30th party and bought a blow-up doll and dressed her as Svetlana. It was pretty hilarious.
I'm an engineer, and found during my job at a consulting firm that all the young male engineers were married young. Seems like they had no problem finding wives! I'd guess they passed for #2. :)
haha, this is totally true! Except now there's a new option:
#5 - be lonely long enough and finally sign up for match.com
But my hubby and I fit #3 - we were both Computer Science majors and there really were like only 3 other girls for him to choose from, haha. Engineering girls get picked up fast, at least at my university they did.
I love this post! My Fi is currently getting his Masters in C.E. specializing in transportation. I guess option #2 fits because he played division 1 football and there are NO engineers on the football team; if there are they usually drop out (of football) by their jr year. He stuck with it all 4 years and graduated on time!
I am marrying a computer engineer, but I don't really fit any of the options above :) The closest would be number two, but I wasn't a liberal arts major nor necessarily looking for a "well-rounded" person, so it doesn't really fit. I majored in Microbiology and Immunology. I am just a nerd who likes other nerds, so we can be ourselves around each other :)
We fit Option #1. I just read this to him over the phone to cheer him up while he's studying!
I guess we'd have to say that he fit #2 (or that I was crazy!) Somehow when he starts talking nerdy with his friends, its kind of a turn on... but then I'm a science geek, so it is what it is!
We fit #3 - we're both have ME degrees from University of Illinois...although he's a real engineer and I have job in business, not engineering...
Yep. He's a Biomedical Engineer and we fit option #1. And he's finally graduating. I'm in advertising so I have no idea what he's talking about most of the time, but we both like video games so I guess I can be nerdy too.
This is great! My husband is an engineer at a a water/wastewater plant, but he's also getting his MS in water conservation/environnmetal engineering. I think we fit #2, but I might just be a little nerdy as well. :) It's a good fit!
glad to know I'm not the only one
The only problem with marrying another engineer (same degree from the same school) is home improvement projects... they tend to start arguments when we try and work together :)
We're a case of the #1s!! :) And I guess #2, too!! Haha, I am sharing this with him!
I love it. I guess I'm #2 but I'm the engineer, not him. However, he's back in school now and studying computer science which is super close to engineering. His undergrad wasn't liberal arts though, he did music industry.
I married an engineer! I guess we'd fall under no option at all, since we met after he finished college, he's more nerdy than artsy, and I'm not an eastern europe internet bride... !
But he did crack up about option 3 though, because that's exactly how he always describes his college years as a single man...
This is so much fun - I need to show this to my FI! My FI and I are both Materials Engineers, so we definitely fit Option #3 as well! He was in the year ahead of me, but most of the people in the program knew each other. Yes - I am nerdy! BUT I am also a dancer and love the dramatic arts, so I figure it balances out!
we fit #3 (although i am completely nerdy), both EE. and yes, there were no single engineer girls in my class by the time i graduated. we go quickly! :)
I'm an engineer and fiance is in business. I stick out like a sore thumb here at work so I am hot commodity from 9-5, I think it's funny and cool that I'm the only girl. Luckily for me, I'm very outgoing and had no problem charming the pants off my Mister. Fiance thinks i'm a complete nerd and loves it!
Oh - so funny! We're both engineers too - civil & EE!
But you forgot Option #5 (a convoluted one, I grant you!): Girl engineer attends school A, where by senior year, all the boy engineers are suddenly snapped up by non-engineering major girls, who have seen past the boy engineers' geekiness to their (a) intelligence, (b) true wonderfulness, and/or (c) earning potential, leaving all of the girl engineers not only dateless but losing some good friendships as well. (I'm NOT bitter, really, I'm not!). Said girl engineers go on to grad school at school B and/or high paying jobs, where they meet a whole new crop of boy engineers, some of whom are still single, most of whom are quite decent, and on round 2, boy and girl engineer finally meet. :)
@TamiN - that is EXACTLY the problem! We're #3 - we're both optical engineers, and I swear, every time we start a project (and there are lots of them), we argue about the most efficient way to do it, and end up spending twice as long. :)
Hehe, FI and I are both engineers, so I guess option #3 fits us! Though we met at work, not school. Lol!
hahahaha!!! I love this!! My FI is an engineer. I would say we most closely fit #2!! =)
I'm marrying an engineer too! He's a mechanical engineer and gets WAY too excited talking about pipelines and how to fix them. I just smile and say "uh-huh babe" until he's done. Lol. Anyway I think we fit into option #5: Find a girl after college who had an equally nerdy major (Biology) but who isn't nerdy in person!
haha funny!
Not sure how old this picture is but we are #5 Met on Match.com!!
Several others of his friends have met or are on there now too! I mean, when you work with 3000 male engineers, your options are slim! Lucky me though :)
Lol, it was #3 until I decided half way through engineering that I hated my program and switched to accounting. Eventually I want to go back and get my engineering degree, just not from the school I'm going to.
haha! I fit into option #1 =)
I love my fiance to death, but sometimes i wouldn't mind hearing less about different projects and math. I've always hated math w/a passion. I guess god thought it would be a comical match=)
When I met FI he had a Masters in electrical engineering but was working at Microsoft. He is now in his second year of a PhD in biomedical engineering. I love that he's so brainy!
Um - sort of #4 - I'm the 'foreign' bride, but a Canadian in Korea. Last night he started to 'publicize' our marriage (cause for some reason you do that just one month before the wedding here...we don't have RSVPs), and he got to call up all the old high school and university friends and tell them he was marrying a foreigner...which was pretty shocking to them.
The closest thing we'd be is #1, but that's not really us either. I knew him long long long before he ever went to college, but we never started dating until a little while after he started school. I guess we're just the exception!
