Picky, picky, picky … I could have been in Michigan at the University of Csomethingorother 
Aachen, huh? Well, at least that’s not quite the middle of nowhere.
Apart from being a little stressed out because of work/uni I am actually doing fine, too.
Is this now one of them flirting threads everybody frowns upon?
looks around for the flirting police to descend on the thread
After reading the OP, I was going to come in hear and say all sorts of annoying old lady things, but since this has successfully turned into a flirt thread, I’ll let it all go. 
People are frowning on flirting threads? Gee, I didn’t know that! But hey, someone could come in and comment on the OP, I don’t have a problem with that whatsoever.
Ironically enough, if you were studying in Michigan at the University of Csomethingorother, the odds of actually meeting might be higher, as I love travelling. Well, right now is a bad time for going overseas, but the point still stands.
If I should ever come to Munich again, maybe next time I drive to Italy or something, I’ll be sure to inform you and then we could meet up for lunch or something.
Trust me, Aachen is the middle of nowhere. Going back to my hometown of Düsseldorf on the weekends is always putting a smile on my lips. The train station in Düsseldorf feels more crowded than the whole “city” of Aachen 
So, what are you majoring in and for how long have you been studying? Me, I am doing electrical engineering (oh, oh, everybody told me I should claim to study “medicine” instead of telling the truth, heh) and will hopefully be done in a year.
Oh no, moi, please go ahead and do say all sorts of (hopefully not so) annoying things. I am curious to hear your opinion
Yeah, we should keep the thread going in any case, because as moi proved, there could be people coming in, wanting to comment on the OP at all times. 
By all means, let me know if you’re coming to Munich (everybody but me seems to be going to Italy) and we’ll have a little GermDopeFest. (no, that doesn’t sound right somehow, let’s rename it when the time comes)
I’ve never been to Aachen, but I take your word that Düsseldorf tops it (I spent lots of time in Düsseldorf, actually, had to fly from that airport a couple of times).
I am majoring in psychology and just writing my final thesis (if I’m not loitering in MPSIMS).
Exactly my thoughts on why the thread should be kept alive. It’s all very altruistic
Yeah, GermDopeFest really has an odd ring to it, as I am more or less germ free
Actually my dislike for Aachen stems more from the fact that most people around here are studying engineering, hence the demographic is a bit shifted in a really unfavourable way, if you know what I mean… And of course most people leave for bigger cities on the weekend, so it’s got the feel of a ghost town then. It’s nice to go out on thursdays though.
And for a tourist, Aachen might be as interesting or even more interesting than Düsseldorf - it’s just not a city I’d recommend living in.
Writing the final thesis, wow, that’s quite far. I still need to write a couple of exams this summer and do an internship in winter, before I can start with the diploma thesis next year.
What are your plans when you’re done? Personally I kinda go with the flow and see whatever happens, without planning things too far in advance, but if you’re on your final thesis already, things are probably different for you.
Altruistic, yeah, that’s us…we’re good people, good people
I can relate to the “ghost town” thing because I started going to university in Eichstätt. Where is Eichstätt? you ask… my point exactly. Munich’s fine, though.
Electrical engineering is the field of the future (or so my brother says who does that, too). Yep, the dating field probably is limited. Same with psychology, by the way, just the other way round.
I’m planning on working in market research (a job I am currently working in anyway - in the office right this moment, but leaving to continue working at home any minute now )
It has always been my experience that half of the good girls were taken (though a lot of really shitty girls were, too) and the other half were simply uninterested in dating or had high standards. My friend Cassy is just the type of girl the OP talks about – beautiful, smart, witty, kind-hearted, and an all around charming person. However, she wants a man just like her, so it takes her a while to find someone she wants to date. She used to wish people would say the more true, “Most of the good girls are unavailable” because she (as well as other girls in her position) were hurt when people would say things like, “Girls are like parking spaces – all the good ones are taken or handicapped!”
Ok, so obviously saying “all” was exagerrated, but that’s how things are - you (or rather I) always exagerate things in order to stress the point. It’s assumed that everybody knows that “all” should read “most” or “a lot”
Funny thing, I usually want a woman unlike me - I mean sure, I am good looking and smart, those are traits I would prefer mirrored. But there are other issues, where I seem to go for the opposite and hence setting myself up for disaster.
Hm, maybe that’s the problem. I can relate to the friend vixenation mentioned - I’d prefer a man who’s like me. Sense of humor, that kind of thing.
Whenever I meet one, though, they are looking for their “opposite”. Makes me kind of worried that is a trend.
Damn, and here I thought I was unique
Well, as I said, certain things need to be in synch and humour is probably one of those things, but there are other issues where I like diversity.
Ok, I am digging myself a hole here, but since I am already the goody two shoes kinda guy, I seem to be attracted to the a little bit more active “evil” girls…
Well, not “evil”, but - I am at a loss of how to explain this.
The term you’re looking for is "psycho b*** from hell who’ll screw me over and then I’ll go to my friends and complain there are no good women left in the world and I always pick the wrong one"* Or something like that.
Or so I’ve heard
Yeah… Yeah, I think that was the term I was looking for. Thanks
Well, it isn’t that bad, even though - come to think about it - the last “relationship” ended in her dumping me and going for some other guy, who had been in a relationship for 8 years at that time.
First I blamed him, then I blamed myself, yet all the time my friends told me to blame her. To this day, I’m unable to hold a grudge towards her, though.
I think that’s what friends are for…
Don’t all guys claim they want the “bad girls” just like girls claim they are always falling for the “bad boys”? I’m just saying that because I am used to listening to the complaints of various friends. Sometimes including my own complaints along the way
Well, all my male friends are going for the nice and friendly girls. I am the only one with a brain malfunction that I am interested in the supposedly bad girls
So, that theory doesn’t fit my surroundings.
To return in a big circle to your OP, you would think that “bad girls” would not have boyfriends or husbands. Or if they do, they’d probably wouldn’t care. So there’s hope for you yet, my friend
Hmmm, it’s not a conscious decision and in reality I am not as picky as I come across here. But yeah, eventually I’ll find a woman, so thanks for the heads up. Still, I am having my doubts about the mid-twenties
