Does anyone want to be my new boyfriend? Basically all my friends are getting married / having kids and I need someone to drag along to social occasions so that they can make sure I get home safely after caning booze all night. Any offers?

can you post a link to a photograph, please?

Cheers

ooooh, that is somewhat superficial. You don't question where I live, what I do, or whether I have a history of mental illness, you just want to know what I look like!

I wouldn't go that far. I merely asked for a picture to allow my fellow male forum users to pre-select. The second stage of selection would possibly take any other characteristics into consideration, although secondary in the realities of life, if we are all honest. They become more important after a while but I think it is important to admit that looks do play a role.

By the way, do you really want one of these PhD university geeks as a new boyfriend? Perhaps this forum is not the most suitable place to begin the search...

Most PhD students are neither rich nor funny; thus outruling the qualities most highly rated by the weak gender.

Ok, I'll give you that, but yeah PhD geeks are hot!
I don't need rich, but funny would be cool. Or at least an appreciation of Peep show/Curb your enthusiasm/mighty boosh (with a preference for Howard rather than vince).
And my only photos are on facebook, which may give away too many clues about my mental health far too early on.

I think that most male PhD students are very funny. Funny looking and smelling.

Why are the male PhD-ers so down on themselves and each other? You can't have been away from women that long!
I think we need to get a Hot PhD Geeks groups going.

We are just very modest.

We NEED a hot PhD geeks group...whether you'll manage to find any members is another matter...

LOL @ Alan the coastman

That sounds like an invitation for nominations sixkitten! rightio everyone - time to name those hot postgrads students (male or female) you have your eye on / drooled over at a conference / just think are generally hot.

Number one - a friend of mine - Claire Darbyshire at Salford Uni. She's seriously sexy, and single... and so much fun!

The Danish (male) contingent at British Society for the History of Science in Durham 2007 - phwoar!

fil nereo - Manchester
ania kowalczyk - salford
Katherine Harrison - Lancaster

oh dear - imagine these people, out of curiosity they google themselves and up comes this

if that would happen to me i'd probably register as a user with a unrelated name and start spying on those people who nominated me only of course it would never happen to me as i'm just to typically geeky, i guess.

Er most of them are good friends, and have seen me do much worse things. I'd be flattered if someone said I was a hot geek!
