Girls, sociologists, Americans, everybody gets put down on this list...:))
As far as I can see people who get buzzed by mathematics certainly can get
laid if they also get buzzed by life, of which maths is an integral part.
That's what potential partners respond to - people who live lives they
enjoy, whatever it is they do...

I found these exchanges interesting because I don't have much background in
that area at all (mathematics, not girls) I realise that this is an
application of the subject rather than the pure stuff, but it was on
thinking about digital reverb and how you can use maths in the creation of
something which sounds beautiful that I began to have a greater appreciation
of how it might interest other people in a deeper way. I'm glad someone's
interested in it.
