still single
Santa Maria, Brazil
Today, it was still easier for me to get an engineering PhD than it is to get a girlfriend. FML

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

Prepared
Today, I realized that a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering does not offer enough knowledge and experience to accomplish some simple, everyday tasks. I have spent the last 12 years designing large robots to scour the seabed for shipwrecks yet the mechanism used to unhook a bra eludes me. FML

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

Today, I was offered a job. It only took me a year and 17 interviews to get an offer, and I have a PhD. 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

Sore loser
Today, after graduating from the same program, I was offered several jobs, while my boyfriend wasn’t. He couldn’t be happy for me, saying, "She got in with the right people, and they just keep handing her jobs," and dismissing my work ethic. FML

Today, I had to Google how to find the area of a circle. I'm working on my PhD in engineering. FML

Today, I lost my job to a girl that graduated with the same bachelor's degree from the same college as me. She also got a master's in an unrelated field. I've been working there 7 months, and her master's in maths apparently makes her a better athletic trainer than me. FML

Simping
Today, my girlfriend moved to Germany for her Master's degree and perhaps a PhD. I'm still stuck in this third world mess which we call India. I simped for her and agreed that she can have non-serious relationships with other men. I'm so broken. FML

Today, I eagerly applied for a high-salary, fully supportive graduate program that I qualified for. There were 5 steps in the application process. I was turned down after the first one. FML
Your Losss Tho Babe
We live in a society
Today, I was yet again rejected by the man of my dreams. He’d rather date these girls with no college degree, no career, can’t cook/clean, etc., just because they have a pretty face and a nice body, instead of me who has a respectable future, career, and education. What is wrong with society nowadays? FML

There are lots of guys who would rather have an engineering PHD than their current girlfriend.

They do say an engineers personality is the most effective form of birth control.

Oh, dear. Don't give up on love, it'll happen when you least expect it. But hey, at least you're some smart gaúcho! :)

Let's date haha. Brazilian here, with two masters. I can't get a decent date to hold a nice conversation. Now I am afraid to go for a Phd.

Being smart is definitely better than have a girlfriend. Girls like smart guys you should not have an issue.
