I'm 24F and have been on dates with 9 different guys, and only 2 of them were NOT engineers. As a relatively attractive girl I match with pretty much every type of guy, but the ones that actually become invested in the conversation, put in effort, and eventually ask me out usually happen to be engineers. I also don't think I really self-select that much; I just look for guys that I'm attracted to and have a decent job/education - so that encompasses a lot of fields, not just engineering. Ironically, despite being a med student myself, my conversations with guys who are also in medicine/healthcare always seem to fizzle out even though we theoretically have a ton in common- it's almost comical. In addition, the finance bro/frat boy type either doesn't match with me or sends low-effort messages and I'm too boring/traditional for the more artsy/liberal arts type of guys so that also fizzles out. For background I'm Asian American, well-educated...I guess I fit the stereotype a little bit. Some people who have looked at my profile have said that I look like the type of person to be featured smiling on like a "welcome to our college" pamphlet (like a stock image lol) but I guess I can't say I completely disagree with that. I wouldn't consider myself "nerdy" but I probably come off as smart in my profile. I've also heard that engineers are more likely to be shy/reserved, so they are less intimidated approaching/asking out an Asian girl (for some reason??).
I know there are a lot of stereotypes in this post, but still I feel like guys that are engineers are disproportionately interested in me. Especially confusing is why other people in med school/healthcare are rarely interested in me - maybe it's too close for comfort/they see me as competition or something? I'm not really sure. Does anyone else have a similar situation, mostly attracting a certain "type" of profession?
