A pilot study conducted at the University of Sydney saw 185 students, aged 16 to 25, quizzed on their sexual history and awareness of the sexually transmitted disease chlamydia.
Can anyone dispute this?

What about all those who accidentally majored in the wrong thing?
A study of dogs I recently discovered found that horny, confused ones hump more legs. WTF?
Though the best part is catching up with those same art and science majors 10 to 20 years later.

Since when does sex indicate how much you enjoy learning and enjoy life for that matter?
Or is that just a guy thing?
Then again I was one of the girls that studied art stuff, then went into A&P, and also went to a school where everyone got naked every day to study technique for Medical massage therapy. But I have a ton of education. Enjoyed all of it.And yeah always had a soft spot for intelligent men. Anyone who was more intelligent that I am or on my level, /melt... and romantic on top of that... Still wish I could find that combo, but I am giving up. Because now it's a little more complicated by my life.

I think you'll find that the two groups attitudes to college differ as well.
Arts and Humanities students tend to have easier schedules and are probably more socially active too.
Science students are usually at uni because they want to get an education that will actually get you a job.
As a science student I fit the stereotype - and still do - but I also think university is about more than getting laid; especially considering the costs of a degree.

Thinking further... I perused all my studies very seriously and had to maintain that 4.0... So in that sense I would register as a geek possibly??

in a world of limited resources, not everyone gets what he or she wants. Presumably, nobody wants to be with a dumbass; and yet there are plenty of people that are bound to fall for ugly, unintelligent and uncreative individuals... But why categorize.

this is not news, art is about expression and sex is a form of experimentation. science teaches us to rely on data rather then instinct, as humans we tend to follow our guts and nuts (or ovaries) rather then the information relayed to us. rock on art chix, you can take my picture any day you wish!

Worry not my friend. Let the ladies know you are intelligent and not "Nerdy" and you win win win. For some reason it does surprsingly well with the arty chicks out there. To bad lots of science oriented guys don't like to socilize enough with ladies.

And isn't that correlation odd? Artsy girls with nerdy boys. perhaps these girls see so much bullshit most guys talk that they end up getting with a nice guy. Unfortunately, that just fulfills the prophecy of nice guys and where they are on the totem pole.

Very funny, because I'm an engineering student and my girlfriend is a art student. We had sex on our first date, and I believe she was the instigator.
On a side note, maybe more people would go into the maths and sciences if the coursework was not disproportionately time consumer in comparison to other degrees.
