I'd Like to Conference With Her...

The Nebraska Conference for Undergraduate Women in Mathematics is this weekend, and there are a few things that a male mathematician might be interested in. Tonight, it was the first technical talk.

When I sat down, I realized:

This is a conference for undergraduate women in mathematics


Males were definitely the minority, with at least 80% women. I felt a little out of place until I realized:

What better place for me to be? I could meet all sorts of women. And then I realized:

I'm no good with women... so I began to sulk until I realized:

These are all math nerds, they don't know how to deal with men. This brought my hopes up until I realized:

These are math nerds! They can't have a chance at being attractive, right? Then I realized:

...and girl math nerds are much better than girl CS nerds (it's true!). I then struck up a conversation with the cutest math nerd in my vicinity.

I actually created a blogger account JUST to post a comment on this article. I laughed out loud. This is what blogging should be like. I applaud you, my nerdy friend.

wow dude - that's one way to approach the situation. hopefully all work goes as planned and you can leave this said "conference" (read, operation) as an undergratuate woman. I'm not sure how the parents will feel about it tho...
