How to impress a prospective romantic partner with science:

(1)
A particular member of IIS who has an unnatural passion for globular clusters and stellar evolution, would wish to hear the following passionate statement from his dream girlfriend:
"Darling, I just love that way you talk..... about elemental abundances in stellar atmospheres".

(2) My own attempt to impress someone with science was when I had some correspondence with a very very beautiful Brazilian extragalactic astronomer. So this is what I said to this most attractive (female) scientist:

"You have some very very beautiful......data"

Like telling Racquel Welch she has a nice hair style.
Try telling her astronomers do it all night

I don't think you should do Science on the first date - Yes its fun to get cerebral, but ultimately you won't respect her publications...

I never could refuse a woman who was good at calculus - after she's shown me the area under her curves, it's pure bliss.

I knew a woman who was good at calculus, she was a dental hygenist

Hi David,

Disagree entirely - you just have to find the right chicken!

Perhaps the chicken crossed over the existential plane into a parallel or alternate universe?

Not I.

I adopted my signature the day after the last Federal election. Still seems appropriate but I will change it as soon as some inspiration strikes. Hmmm ... could be stuck with it for a while. :D

"Just look up ..." dunno what it is about girls outdoors under a dark starry sky but they go all cuddly and fall right into my arms every time :lol:

If I want to look up, I use Google...

The big DO NOT:D

Do not say to her that her teeth are like stars, they come out at night.

Unless you like hospital food of the soft mushy kind.

Cheers:)

In the pub the first night we met, I foolishly showed my future wife photos of Jupiter and Saturn I'd taken at the eyepiece of my Dob, and was using as a screensaver on my phone :eyepop: (very blurry by the standards of many on here!). Eight years later and we're still very happy...


but then she is a research physicist and planetary scientist, I knew the way to her heart!! :D
