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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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.

Think of how easy it will be to find a job at an engineering firm after graduation! :)

sounds like you're into the one guy in your class who isn't into women, congratulations.

Some men can be gentlemen.

Don't let them get away with it. Make a smartass comment about them staring. They'll do what they can get away with and if you let them get away with it then it's your own fault. I'm in engineering too and have a large chest and I get looked in the eyes when they're speaking to me. And yes they probably stare at other times but I expect respect when they're speaking with me.

I hate guys like that... they're usually forever alone, and for good bloody reason. Just wear a t-shirt telling them to **** off before you stick needles in their eyes. Some people really do need to get laid.

*staring at boobs* "Sorry, you were saying?"

Are your boobs big

I had that problem..I have big boobs and I'm surrounded by young immature guys(I'm young) Anyway, After I came out as a lesbian. Nothing changed about my appearance. They stopped looking as obnoxiously and as much. Big difference in how they treated me. My point: The more easy/slutty they think you are, the more they look. Just cover your boobs up and focus on your class and prove to them that your not just a piece of meat to drool over and dream about "*******." Prove it to yourself too.

You won't think being the only female sucks when it comes time to get a job and you're hired over a more qualified guy just to fill a quota.

OP hates being thought of as just a pair of boobs in school, so being hired just for being thought of as a pair of boobs will make her happy? That's some pretty strange logic you have there.

Been there... You'll have even more fun once you're done and no one takes you seriously because you're a woman. My advice (and I am successful by now): Be as ugly as you can be!

I almost hate to do it, but I have to give you a YDI. How could you not know that 1) the engineering field is predominantly male and 2) the male brain is predominantly thinking about boobs?
