Some of the stuff that has been said about girls & calcs kinda ticked me off. so i registered 2 secs ago to put the girls into double digits.
to those guys that aren't mature enough to accept the fact that a lot of girls don't fall into the 'girly' stereotype that you all seem to think is reality, i just gotta say that you are so way wrong. a nice fraction of the guys here probably haven't even had the guts to talk to a girl to know. its almost like you all think girls are too helpless or dumb to know much about calcs. yet the girls who know calcs are considered nerdy and desperate for dates even though you've never met them. PLEASE.
i used to program in asm for the ti86, and have a lame fishing game out there somewhere on this site. it helped me a lot with my major (cs) in the beginning. now, i can do a lot better, but i have no interest. now i spend maybe 5 min a week at this site.
but want to know how many e-mails i got saying..."hehe..i like your game...hehe...wanna go out with me?...hehe...we be pals...hehe..hehe.." . i got maybe 30 e-mails similar to that. It's like who are they kidding?

I agree with you - I was just reading laura's info. (no i am not desperate thank you very much) and she said that she got TOO MUCH E-Mail feedback on her bio! I would have been suprised if she had gotten >1 E-Mail but TOO MUCH? Thats alot of E-Mail. Guys out there, please!! Here's some reasons why you shouldn't pursue a relationship with some girl whom you barely know [on the internet I mean; real life is a different story and these reasons don't apply to real life]

1.) You'll never meet her, stop dreaming.
2.) How do you they are a girl? Huh?
3.) If you are pursuing them just because they are a girl, how do you know you have anything in common? At least try for something of a reason.
4.) Wouldn't a face-to-face relationship with a girl be much more satisfying? I mean, lets say you are having a tough day; does chatting with someone whom you barely know online help any? I would say it doesn't help at all; at least compared to talking with a person who is right in front of you.

Oh and when I say "real life" up above I mean actual face to face relationships. I'm not saying using computers means you have no life; I don't want to offend anyone.

So what is my main idea here? Don't bother the girls! Respect is much appreciated.

That is the single worst, most socially unskilled attempt at dating I have ever seen. First of all, attempting to pick up girls on a message board is RETARDED. Secondly, ticalc.org is really not the place at all. Finally, I can't think of a worse topic than "ASM tutoring". Honestly, you disgust me.

You may be right. Perhaps there are a lot of smart, attractive women who are interested in calculator programs and who actively go to calc sites. All I can say is that I've never met one. The majority of people I know who use graphing calculators are female, yet the all the people I know who create/download programs or male. When I tried explaining where I get my programs to a smart, attactive woman who owns a graphing calculator, she looked at me as if I was insane. As far as I can tell, females for the most part don't care about programs. To be honest, I don't blame them.

I like nerdy girls. Sorry if I sound chauvinous (I know I didn't spell that right), but I despise girls that only giggle and worry about their hair. I like the smart girls that are more concerned with their personality and their inteligence than their looks. There are very few of them in my school, but I've befriended all of them. I don't see how many guys can find something in a "ditz". I don't know if I'm being chauvinous, but oh well. I'll shut up now.

I agree totally with you. Some girls were meant only to be arm decorations for jocks and popular guys. Some are so ditzy that they are incapable of doing anything but popping out kids. Others are so subservient or insecure that they exclude themselves from things that they are capable of doing. It is the rare girl (myself included) that does "nerdy" things that other girls don't do. I don't let gender or stereotypes limit me. People tell me that a black leather jacket and combat boots aren't feminine. I don't care. I am my own person, I don't listen to what other people think of me, I only care about what I think about. My father and brother beat my regularly when I was in High School, I did all sorts of things to escape them, but despite the humiliation, poverty, and the other obstacles I made it here. I will be somebody and I will not let my gender keep me back. I will not be satisfied to be a housewife with a house full of brats. I will go out there and change the world! I will not let others opinions, fists, or other obstacles discourage me or hold me back.

Well, enough of this inspirational crap. L8r

so do i. and what makes me mad is girls that think they're "all that". i mean the kind that always laugh at EVERYTHING that is said, the kind that can't find a better word than "loser". the funny part and sad part is that a lot of these girls are nerdy at heart, but act all cool to have friends and get dates.

You may think so, but I have seen too may girls sign away their intellegence to be cool, to have friends, and most of them flunked out of college or have a few babies right now. You can't have it all, you can't have everything. Friends come and go, significant others come and go. Be true to yourself. Learn to stand on your own two feet! If you don't do what is right for yourself, and do what will benefit you, you will go nowhere. I indend to be somebody someday, and I will not compromise my character, or the very essence of who I am to be popular. Thoreau said, "Instead of fame, friends, and money, give me truth!" Be true to yourself. Why is there a stereotype? Because there are enough girls out there who act the part. I wasn't "created" by chauvanist men, it was created by women. You can't have the best of both worlds. Pick your world and stay with it. For me, I chose academics and an education so that I can do something that I enjoy on my OWN terms. Then everything else will follow. Believe in yourself.

Having friends is normally a good thing. I also know many popular girls who may not appear too bright, but they really are good students.

Henry David Thoreau said, "I have never found anybody as companionable as solitude." Knowing people the way I do, growing up the way I did I agree with that. I've been battered and alone most of my life and I won't sacrifice myself to be with the "in" crowd.

Thoreau liked solitude only because everyone else hated him for being a jackass. If you actually read his work, you'll find that he's an egotistical idiot.

Thoreau wasn't a jackass! He inspired Ghandi and MLK Jr. after him. Thoreau lived his life alone because he had a hankering. Read "Walden" sometime.

I did. It's about a pond.

To read my satirical opinion on Thoreau, check out the link above; it's a parody of the play "The Night Thoreau Spent in Jail". In it you'll see a number of reasons why I think Thoreau is so bad.

I think your violating the policy here. Try reading it sometime it says, "Please be constuctive and keep comment topics relevent to the article you are replying to." It also states, "Don't insult or inflame other people in your comments." So far all your comments have been insulting, patontly false, or completely irrelevent to this discussion. You must be a truly lonley person. Tell me, how many people hate you? Keep your stupid comments out of here.

Heh, you're speeches are always interesting. I'm jsut wondering, I've read some of your posts, and I was wondering if you could send me your bio. I know you took it off, but I promise I WON'T SEND A SINGLE E-MAIL to you about it. I just think if I knew a little more about you, I could understand your posts a little better.

And no, I am NOT looking for a date. Online dating is stupid and dangerous.

actually, there is no need to sacrifice being social and normal just to be book smart. i'm a year away from graduating from a top academic school, i'm also an athlete that does the whole athlete partying scene, i like programming enough for it to be my major, and basically i just say/do whatever the heck i feel like. screw what other people think. i don't fit any stereotypes. i'm not a dumb jock and i'm no computer nerd either. it's called being well balanced. and it isn't healthy to not have any friends just to focus on getting an education. it is more important to have good social skills in life than it is to be able to memorize stupid physics equations or whatever. life is a lot easier when you know how to talk to people.

Exactly 82%? Are you sure? I thought all that fake philosophical crap applied to *84%* of "all the other girls". You should check your statistics more often.

It wouldn't hurt, though. I'm sort of the class clown in my school, and my "shtick" is my over-enthusiasm of school and my obsession with graphing calculators. It works. People think I'm smart, but they think I'm cool, too.
