Today, I realised being the only female engineering student sucks. I have exactly one friend, because everyone else is too busy staring at my boobs to have a conversation. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, while at training with several of my co-workers, I realized I was the only woman. The only thing one of them said to me the entire day was "DUDE!" while staring at my chest as I took my coat off in the morning. FML
Today, it was still easier for me to get an engineering PhD than it is to get a girlfriend. FML
Today, I lost all of my male friends at work. Why? The new girl has my same interests and a prettier face. FML
Today, I was the only girl in gym class who couldn't lift the weight, and the only one to fart multiple times during the attempt. FML
Today, I found out that the engineers I work with believe that a woman with an engineering degree working in an engineering company is apparently equivalent to a "secretary for engineers." I am that woman. FML
Today, the only girl I've ever had eyes for said she can't find any good single men, all while sitting next to me. FML
Today, I've had to accept that, despite my efforts to stay in touch with the few friends I made at college, I have zero friends. FML
Today, well into my second year at university, I still haven't made a single friend. FML
Today, I realized that I'm at the age that whenever I mention a friend of the opposite gender, my family's first response is asking whether that friend is single. I've already accepted no one will want a pathetic freak like me, so their poking around what few friends I have makes it awkward. FML
Today, I was hanging out with friends of the opposite sex, which is the norm for me as I don’t get along with most women. Every time I spoke, I got ignored or spoken over, and they kept asking me what was wrong. Ugh, men. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Only one guy is clever enough for you to not notice.

Tell them that you used to be a man. Works everytime.

I swear people will find anything to complain about these days...

We engineers are just fascinated by pendulum motion! We'd like to find out what the natural frequency of your rack is and wonder if your bra overdampens, under dampens or critically dampens their movement. Then, we hydraulically increase our personal Young's Modulus envisioning the experiment we need to do when your boobs are completely unconstrained.

You don't need to be an engineer to be attracted to pendulum motion

You do if you want to analyze it mathematically. You'll need at least a bachelor's degree to be able to ask her with authority to remove her bra so you can examine the unconstrained motion. All others need to reach around and undo her clasp. How primitive!

I do music technology at college, and there's only one other girl in my class. Thankfully the guys aren't that bad! I'm friends with most of them, they're pretty respectful. Y'know, besides the sexist jokes. :P

Sorry to hear you are surrounded by a bunch of immature guys. It'll get better as you get in your more advanced classes. Don't let a bunch of pervy guys make getting your degree unbearable. :)

It is in the UK and Australia. Did you also realise how culturally stupid your comment was?

You sir are a blind american. There are countries other than America, who spoke English before America, and so the UK and Australia both spell realised as realised. No hate to America, just idiots.

I would love to be an engineer, and I'm female. :) Who cares the guys try to get a peek? I'd be there for the education, not attention.

Tell them you don't like boys hahah

Oh that would only scare away a handful of guys... The rest would just be more interested in your... "adventures."

Whatever you do, DON'T tell them you're a lesbian to divert their attention! I tried that in my computer science class...made it worse. I wasn't expecting that. Hindsight is always 20/20 though.
