Ok, here's a few questions I'm interested in hearing the answers to.

How many of you have husbands, wives, girlfirends or boyfriends that are engineers or have technical or scientific jobs?

Would you prefer to marry (or date) someone with a technical / science background or would you prefer someone who works in an entirely different field?

I'll hold off on answering for myself until a few others reply.

Missouri-I am sure you are right, I have not looked hard enough or maybe let one bad experience dictate my future thinking. To tell the truth, dating a woman in sales was always a one sided conversation. Lots of talk about her work, her colleagues, her boss, her travel, etc. When I would start expounding on some fascinating engineering topic there was a momentary stare and then a blank look. It would be nice to talk engineering every once in a while over the dinner table. I can dream can't I?
 
wjsd,
You were just seeing the stare your sales date saw when she was talking. The main difference in sales if they sense a pause, they feel as though they need to stop the silence.
