is it possible for you to be a good scientist without being

Half-right.

I am fairly intelligent, I have an 'above average' IQ and Asperger's syndrome, normally this would a wonderful combination for STEM and I should be thinking about going to do either a master's degree or doctorate by now (I'm 21, going on 22).

However, at 19 I was 'luckily' enough to have caught the attention of someone who apparently didn't notice I had Asperger's and took my 'decent' looks (apparently) as an invitation to baby-trap me.

This forced me to drop out of higher education and has delayed me applying for a bachelor's degree until now.

So, I would say, to a certain extent, that being a virgin (and certainly being caught pregnant) retards your progress in academia and certainly within STEM, as it is a naturally more complex metatopic.

I think you need to know how to live for yourself, focus on seeing the world in a lens apart from social bullshit, and focused on life, the nature of your world, and yourself, long enough to think correctly and be properly functional. After that point it's probably not markedly deleterious, in a core sense, to pursue or accept romantic or sexual involvement.

Being a normie is better for success at anything even STEM.

Yes.

Although some form of autism is required, which is commonly related to virginity.

The reason is that life is too short for both

It's not better for being a genius.

I'm in a physics PhD program at a decent state university. Getting married to what most people consider on 4chan to be a 9 or 10.

Never understood the meme where nerds grow up to be virgins, most successful scientists and such are married.

Its more about how much drive in different parts of your life you have. "Autists" on 4chan generally have low personal drive and self deprecating tendencies. Most are just socially retarded because they never allowed themselves to be vulnerable, or were to unforgiving of fuckheads in high school.


Seriously anons, some of you may never grow up to be a fucking stunner chad scientist. But get fit, shave your face, get a decent haircut, shower now and then, get some fashion sense, and you'll land someone. It may not be dream girl, but that's cause all you think is pornstars are what's out there.

I don't buy the "be yourself" meme. But self improvement helped me out, simply change who you are, but for the better.

Doesn't mean you have to be a different person, i still have "autistic" tendencies and post here, so it isn't impossible.

I'd be glad to answer questions if anyone genuinely feels helpless, I'm not just larping, I'm pretty well adjusted, and wish someone had gotten to me sooner, would have made high school/early half of undergrad not such shit

Just trying to reach out, some of the stories I hear on hear make me genuinely sad

Feinman.

To be a good scientist you have to be obsessed with whatever you study.

Most conversations would revolve around this so.. usually a virgin or later monogomous thing.

Euler worked while his noisy children were playing in the same room with no problem concentrating at all.
