So It's What's On The Inside That Counts?

I went out the other night with some friends, and there were a few moments where I'd be left on my own. Invariably, during these moments, some guy would come and start chatting me up. Eventually, the question "So, what do you do at uni?" would arise. I didn't want to show off, so I'd start by saying I'd just finished a drama degree. But then they'd want to know what I was going to do now that I'd finish, so I'd fess up and say I was starting med in January. Woah, what a change that made! All of a sudden, no matter who the guy was, he'd become instantly completely uninterested. I mean, I was uninterested to begin with - not being a huge one for random anonymous hook-ups - but it was still pretty insulting! What's so unattractive about a woman being smart? Bastards.
