My time spent at university as a student and researcher and my time working at an engineering firm I very rarely saw any really hot girls studying any sort of science or working in scientific capacity. There was obviously plenty of hit birds at the universities but they were typically doing BAs not BScs, also any tasty chicks at the company were almost definitely from HR. Obviously there was the odd few that where scientists, just as there are ugly girls on BAs and ugly wenches working in HR. I felt a bit sorry for the hotties in science actually; being hounded by dozens of sweaty fat geeks all day can't be nice.

It's not so much that they're ugly, it's just they lack the presentation a typically hot girl has. Often exhibiting a complete lack of make-up, straw-like hair, either excessively long or excessively short finger nails and wearing very unflattering clothes.

I remember sitting in on a friends Psychology lecture once. I remember nothing from that lecture as my time was spent dumbfounded by the sheer amount hot tottie on display. I wondered how he ever managed to pass his degree (probably gay).

So what causes this? Why do so few female scientists go to the same effort of looking hot that their arts counterparts do?
 
I think your presumptions are wrong, but I suppose it depends on the university.

Check out medicine, veterinary science and surgery, biology, psychology (as you said) for fitties.
 
There were a couple of hot chicks in uni when i did Physics. One was from Greece who i chased the whole time i was there but she already had a bf. And an Iranian girl who was blindingly gorgeous but seemed reluctant to get together with me despite giving off all the right signals

I can't comment but have you ever considered that fit men don't do science either. Science is an ugly thing. :d
 
I quite like the "hardly any make-up" look tbh. I hate the way society seems to think that women need to be caked in make-up with fake tan whilst wearing skimpy clothes.

Also, if you think art students all go out of their way to look hot, I think you're mistaken. They tend to wear what they like, which can often be er.. unusual.

Psychology is not a science. Yes, medics and vets are a good shout actually, I met a couple of training vets in St Albans once they were a breath of fresh air from the other brain dead women in the bar.

Barring those two though, I don't for example believe you about biology. The biology department at my Uni was more horrific than the stats department.

You quote me wrong. I said 'complete lack of make-up', I think you'll find the no-make-up look actually still uses some make-up ;) I also didn't mean caked in make-up as this is just as bad. Some make-up done nicely can bring out a girls best features though and make her look even more divine.
 
It's pretty simple imo; scientific minds are generally very studious, and somewhat introverted. It is not a field that requires large amounts of charisma to get ahead or achieve success (though of course that wouldn't hurt), it requires knowledge and expertise, and a LOT of time with your head in books studying when other people are out having fun and building their social development.

As such you won't find many overly good-looking or charismatic scientists in proportion to other professions and fields.

So you have to have a good level of social development before you can dress to impress?

Don't think that was his point at all really.

Scientists are people that care about science. They are more likely to be logically rather than creatively minded, and those creatively minded are more likely to care about fashion and dress nicely. Those scientifically minded are more likely to dress logically. Trousers make much more sense than a skirt and long socks, or even a tight pair of jeans. But which is sexier?

Don't get me wrong, there are certainly exceptions, and medicine in general seems to break that rule. That said, medicine does require a certain, different view of the world due to the social aspect.... People's viewpoints on the world is different, and to be fair, it works the other way too. There's a much lower concentration amongst well dressed men who are science minded than creatively minded.
