Do STEM guys make good spouses and fathers?

[Anonymous]

I am a STEM guy and work for a large engineering company in Dearborn, MI. The STEM community is hard to generalize, but you will find that the hard core nerd types are loyal, attentive, and make good dads. I like being with my family tons more than just about anything else, though I still have a group of nerd friends that I get together with to watch movies, play games (i.e. historical recreations of famous military campaigns using miniature figures). We are also good lovers. As pointed out in 'Revenge of the Nerds' , we do think about sex more frequently than non-Nerds (see the movie), and since most of us were deemed un-dateable by most women when we were in high school, we really appreciate being with a woman who wants to be with us. I am 55 and still am as passionate for my wife as I was when I met her over 25 years ago.

As a dad, I have enjoyed reading to my kids (I read 'The Lord of the Rings' out loud to them when they were kids), making sure they understand the difference between good TV (i.e. the original Star Trek, Firefly, Babylon 5, Chuck) and crap (just about everything else), and of course attending all their sporting events. Also, I have taken my daughter (who is a big fan of Marvel Movies) to two Comic Cons (we met Sebastien Stan, Matt Smith, William Shatner, Karl Urban). I taught my oldest son how to program (he is working on a 2D side-scroller), and my youngest son likes more thrilling activities, like going to roller coaster parks, etc. Bottom line, STEM dads know what their kids like and love spending time doing those things with them. We are also able to help them with all their math, physics, etc. homework.

Do watch out for the STEM people with autism spectrum disorder or Aspbergers. The give away is that depending on the severity, these types can never be wrong about anything. I have worked with such people on projects and they can be unbearable, and though they do love their SO's and spouses, they can be emotionally draining. Good luck.

I chuckled out loud at "they get the last laugh at the high school reunion too" because I can so see how that would play out.

I was the cheerleader, musical arts type in high school and college. I don't think I ever would have ended up with BF while I was in undergrad. We just wouldn't have ran in the same circle of friends, but now in my early 30s, I am totally of a different mindset and although I have never been in a relationship with a guy like BF, I actually feel really positive about being able to communicate and work things out together.

TRANSLATION: I would have never fucked BF when I was in HS or college because my status was so much higher than his, but now that we are in our 30s and my status has diminished significantly and I can't attract the guys I really want to fuck, I'll settle for BF.

What a catch.

As a male scientist earning good money, I prefer to look at it as this: peoples priorities change. In the teens and 20's it is mostly about looks and hotness. Stability and smarts are either neutral or negative. Geekiness is not attractive.

By thirty, people have matured. They see the sexiness that is a geek with (relative stability). Safety becomes more important than adventure. Plus, the STEM guy making 100+ is much more attractive than the former jock who played there years of minor league baseball, gave up, and now is selling cars.
