And people said STEM was supposed to be robot friendly, you have to be an outgoing chad to get anywhere here as well

>overseas
You went to EU or US?
>>
>>37588081
EU

Also europe is decaying, it's not a meme. Fucking depressing to see
>>
>>37588103
Welcome to Europe nigger. The continent of normies. Fembots don't exist here. If you didn't fit in with people in the robot central known as the US what chance do you think you have here.
What country? If it's Germany or the Netherlands then god save you during this year.
>>
>>37588164
Germany. Welp guess I'll have to just hide in my room for 8 more months
>>
>>37588209
>he went to the country with Germanic tall Chads.
Oh dear lord. It's even worse in the Netherlands trust me. How tall are you? 6'0? That's (below) average here.

Fembots simply don't exist here. This is the endgame of a socialist, liberal sexual society. A ton of robots. Look at the zeemap. And zero females who are single. Only by choice.
>>
>>37588164
>fembots don't exist here
What did he mean by this

Are you implying women could be robots anywhere else?

>>37588209
Are you at a Max planck institute OP? What are you studying anyways
>>
>>37588252
Read >>37588252
Look at the Zeemap to see for yourself. Every girl is single by choice here.
80/20 has turned into 99/1 here. It's insane.

Sometimes I wish our healthcare wasn't as good as it is. US healthcare allows for people to be fucked up and creates robots and fembots alike.
>>
>>37588240
Yeah, I'm 6' and that's not tall at all here.

I'm surrounded by the most beautiful women in the planet and have to face daily the fact that I don't stand a chance with them

>>37588252
It's applied physics (theoretical), can't tell what exactly because there aren't many people working on this and it would be easy to find me
>>
>>37588288
Your only hope is using Tinder and portraying yourself as the exotic foreign American coming here for super smart studies. That might give you a foot in the door with women. Accent could be a bonus. You have 8 months senpai.
Now you know how bad it is here. So have some sympathy for the eurobots stuck here without a single shred of hope. Atleast back home you can find fembots in your state or surrounding states.
>>
>>37588240
You are a retard who needs to get the hell off my board
Are you trying to hook up with girls off /r9k/? Does that make you upset, that no girls posted on the zeemaps thread?

Seriously anon, fuck off. Go back to /soc/, and don't even try to deny you've been there before.

You are the cancer that killed this board, the kind of dumb shit scum who support zeemaps threads, who whine about fembots, YOU need to leave

>>37588326
see Norman, that won't work because OP is a robot, something you will never understand. Nothing in his post indicated he was intended to hook up with """"fembots""""" yet that's the only thing on your mind, what the hell is your problem? Why are normies so brain dead, or is it just you?
>>
>>37588209
Stop being a faggot. German girls are awesome. They make perfect partners for robots.
>>
>>37588381
>German girls are awesome. They make perfect partners for robots.

How come?
>>
>>37588401
It's simple. German people in general are somewhat autistic in their behavior, which is why German girls are more tolerant to spaghetti dropping on your part.

It's also more common in Germany to start off as friends and then becoming a couple or whatever down the line.
>>
>>37588364
Ok fampai.

you guys just don't get it do you

I'm convinced every European on this board is a normalfag
>>
>>37588444
That's exactly what I explained here >>37588164
Even the european robots have some normie in them. Including me desu.
>>
>>37588401
Also, there are entire fields of studies at German universities that are filled with nerdy girls. I know this extremely ugly balding German guy that managed to get with an okayish looking girl at some university event. Look for girls studying weird shit.
>>
>>37588444
How could we remain completely robotic, when German girls are okay with severlely spergy guys?
>>
>>37588509
What do I do if I'm in a uni with 300 people and it's purely technical. No girls here. Not OP btw I'm Dutch
>>
>>37588589
Is it the only university in your area? In Germany there usually are instituations for social studies etc. somewhat close to technical universities.
>>
>>37588631
Nope. It's just one building for technical studies. A uni for applied science.
>>
>>37588694
That's shitty. Aren't there any universities specialized in the humanities close by? Like a town or two away?

I know that the girl-heavy universities in Germany often invite the boy-heavy technical institutions to attend their parties.
>>
>>37588739
No I live in a town of 37k people in the middle of nowhere on the border with Germany. Humanities? What the fuck? I think the medical unis are more towards Amsterdam / Leiden / Utrecht.
You guys seem to have a more American style university system. Here it's just completely fucked up. See Zeemap thread for more...

>girl heavy universities
You got me there for a moment. No such thing exists.
>>
if you're in the sciences just hunt down the biology department, filled with girls.
>>
>>37588822
>Humanities?

Humanities as in human culture. History, sociology, philology, that kind of stuff. They are usually studied by more women than men.


>No such thing exists.
In Germany, more girls than guys attend university.
>>
>>37588890
Yeah that's more big city stuff. The Netherlands is small as fuck man. Important/niche unis can only be in certain big locations or they'd be starved of people.

>In Germany, more girls than guys attend university.
>tfw missed getting a qt programmer gf by being born a few kilometres to the west and ending up in this shithole.
>>
>>37588890
>In Germany, more girls than guys attend university.

OP here, I think that's why the environment is so fucked up. Men spend too much time trying to impress the women in the department, while women get a free pass everywhere.

The dynamics in a male dominated environment is completely different.

>>37589137
>The dynamics in a male dominated environment is completely different.
Dutch anon here. The rare girl I see is always clinging to some Chad and always has a following of beta orbiters.
>>
>>37589294
Yeah but if the rate is 50/50 all men are going to dedicate their entire existence to impressing the girls. They'll invent all kinds of social gatherings to create opportunity to talk to them.

Also women are judgmental as fuck, if they perceive you as remotely weird they give you the creep label and don't even try to hide their disgust at you. They think that if they treat you well you will automatically assume they are into you and start acting inconveniently or some shit.
>>
>>37589137
ahh. yes, I have been foresaken by my PI also. I was asked to stay another year for postdoc many times. then 4 months prior to that he told me no room in the lab for me.

1) women will not come to you due to your int
2) when I entered a foreign country, I had no appeal until I started lifting weights. start lifting
3) fuck your coworkers, meet strangers. just make sure you show up at 9 am at your old job. try not to work from home, even though it's what I did also before the PI rescinded his offer
>>
I got through my PhD by drinking heavily and avoiding people.

Never got to go to Europe, though.
