There are many artsy guys like astronomy. They often read “pale blue dot”. I never liked Carl Sagan. There are too many unnecessary words in each and every sentence. Impossible to skim. With “A brief history of time”, I simply didn't care for the math.
Astronomy artsy guys cry at night that their interest is too niche they can't find a soulmate. Yet, I've never seen them date STEM gals or at least attempted to. Unlike me, I took tours around every tech company. Their employee often wore cargo shorts and acted like it was a zoo when I walked by. None was handsome.
But still. There are a hundred times more chances that I would be able to find someone very smart in STEM than in art. It's not like they are good at both math and drawing, but they choose passion instead. It's often the case that they can't go for any other major but also have been drawing since kids. I didn't even bother to look at them. Some people felt extremely excited, because they thought, finally they found another artist. That's double offensive. My sister thought I was too mean.
Anyway. Those boys actually don't want someone who has the same special interests as them. They want someone who doesn't know about those topics at all, so they can act like the misunderstood and sophisticated ones. Because the thing about discussing the same topic is that they will have to go back to the winner-loser system. That can really take a toll on their “love”.
I mean. If I really care about my boyfriend’s playlist not indie enough. I will then have to worry about my association with Stephen Hawking, too.
