I've met very few attractive men at university. The male psychology students in Sweden must be among the least stylish people int he world. Besides, most of them were overweight. (The women too, for some reason.) Now, all the guest and exchange researchers I meet at work, that's another thing

I meant units as in parts of the course. And what do you mean thier? Who are you refering to? </STRONG>

Well - Her subject, then - sheeze, can't even use loose gramma anymore

Hmmm, I think my course is about 50/50 split gender-wise, which is cool. Though I did a course on gender history last year which had about 20 women and 3 guys... I think they felt a bit outnumbered

Well I suppose I was her subject... but she flunked and ended up causing some serious restructuring to the subject material.

CE: Well I'm reasonably slim and I'm a psych student 67kgs if anyone's interested And don't ask me what that is in any other measurement, i only know what it is in kilograms!

20/3 ration - Sounds nice

Well not actually - I've always found that 50/50 to 60/40 (female/male) is better.
Otherwise there will either be to much guy-talk or to much girl-scheming

Wohoo - Go metric, go metric

I'm sure they didn't mind though

50/50 will do me since that's usually one to one And that's fine with me

@Georgi: I always prefer a approx. 50/50 gender distribution. Both my psych and my med courses were like that, but as always, the "higher" in the academic hierarchy you go, the more male dominated it becomes. When I started working at the lab where I'm now, only one other researcher was female, the other 30 were male. The last 1-2 years it's been better, but my field is still extremely male dominated.

@Veh: 67 kgs? That's no proof of being slim, you could be 1.62 cm tall

@Xan: I agree with the guy/girl-talk stuff, and both are equally boring since they follow predictable stereotype patterns. Zzz...

Actually, I'm 186 cm tall. That proof enough?

You are certainly slim, Veh

Not too slim though right?

Yeah, especially when the course is all about how women have suffered male oppression

Too slim for what, though, this is the question. I mean, if you wanted to be a sumo wrestler or something...

Sure it's safe, don't worry, we won't bite... hard

But you will do it often

But it won't leave any long-term scars...

Maybe emotional scars - though.

Well, yeah, you have a point there
