Welcome to MIT, Where The Men are Engineers & The Women are Bored
R. Alex Whitlock
Via Cluth, I found a great guide to incoming freshmen to MIT on how to score dates. There are 20 in all, but here are some samples:
1. Personal hygiene goes a long way. You’d think that people would’ve learned this in health class, but it’s amazing how many people can just plain forget when they’re coding for 72 hours straight.

[...]

7. Young ladies, know this: you not only have freshmen guys seeking you out, but upperclassmen as well.

8. Young men, know this: you don’t have older women checking you out. However, Wellesley, an all-female college, is a short Senate Bus ride away (to find a date).

I love how the author added "(to find a date)" because I could just imagine some engineer asking "If it's an all-female college, why would I go there?

Reminds me of a joke about engineers:

An engineer is walking down the street one day when an attractive woman on a bicycle stops, takes all of her clothes off, and exclaims to the lad "You can take anything you want!"

So he takes the bikes.

He goes and talks to his engineering friends, recounting the story on the naked woman and the bike.

"Good move!" one engineer states.

"No kidding," another adds, "the clothes never would have fit."
