An Envious Engels

According to a recent study, creative people are more likely to have more sexual partners:

The study found professional artists and poets have about twice as many sexual partners as those who do not indulge in these creative activities. The authors also delved into the personalities of artists and poets and discovered they shared some traits with the mentally ill.

Or alternatively, as one of the researchers suggests, women, for one reason or the other, revere men who are talented in art, music, or writing, and creative men have more women in their social and professional circles. Therefore, the creative male does what any normal male would do, and capitalises off this situation.

I studied mathematics and physics at university. The number of attractive women I met? None. The number of women who find what I studied interesting or appealing? Next to none. The best I ever received was "well, you must be intelligent" or "are you gonna be a school teacher?" A ha, whatever you say, darling.

Meanwhile, if you grow your hair long, own an acoustic guitar, and knock out a few poorly-done Jeff Buckley's covers, women will line up from miles around to wax...um, lyrical with you. It's a travesty.

I was artistic when I was young, believer it or not. I chose to pursue the sciences. If you were foolish enough to choose a profession which women don't find appealing, I recommend you say you're returning to university to complete your graduate programme in medicine or you volunteer to save whales.
