Nah, fiction needs to be somewhat believable.

You just can't make this stuff up!

Do you think the lack of girls in astronomy means that it might be harder to pair up?

I've seen some pretty fierce competition among the guys when a girly girl wanders into the group. Not speaking from first-hand experience tho!

I was looking at our Facebook ads stats for our shop website, and found something interesting... our ads are served to anyone with certain affinities and interests (mostly astronomy and related interests), and for most part it is equal across genders, but the big difference is who's clicking on the ads--

Girls in their early teens have been clicking a lot more on the ads, but after about 18 and early 20s it drops dramatically. For the boys they don't seem to care much in their early to mid teens, but then the clicks grow exponentially as they get older through their 20s to the late 50s.

One wonders what the situation is here! So if you're in your late teens, you'd probably have better luck with finding an astro-partner of the opposite sex!
