I'd just ask her to talk about what she wants to talk about. Then just sit back, and go along with it.

If you're serious about the girl, don't lie. If you don't know something about art history that she wants to talk about, let her show off how smart she is by explaining it. Then flip it around, and restate it in your own way to show you're paying attention. Get her to think that you respect her intelligence and that you're a good listener, and she'll be eating out of your hand.

Just don't wind up being a platonic friend. That's no good at all.

It always works well for me to berate their field of study.

[Foucceedo]

Show her pictures drawn by a child and say "Pop quiz, when did I draw this?"

Repeatedly and randomly.

Football.

I think Felch gave the best advice. You don't need to show that you already know about her chosen fields of study as long as you show you are willing to let her teach you herself, and that you listen and respect her.

Art history major = future money hole

She won't make you any money, but she'll spend all of yours.

Avoid.

For instance, I would berate your profession also. I would tell you "Lincoln's dead, get over it". Give me more time.

See, you don't seem to understand. You may see "Future Money Hole" and see the second word in that sentence. Straight guys see the third word. There are cheaper holes, as I'm sure you know.

The problem is faking interesting isn't good for anyone. It starts a relationship off on a pile of white lies.

I have no interest in my SO's field in chemical engineering and he has no interest in mine. We don't talk about it because if I talk it bores him, if he talks it bores me. Honesty is really key.

Something tells me you wouldn't quite enjoy it if I talked in depth about software engineering. It would be a bad idea to fake interest. What I said would only work if there was genuine interest.

Which is a lie. In Hera's instance, yes, it would be if he has no genunine interest in art or art history.

They can talk about other things so he does not have to berate her art history major.

Intelligent women love a man who can admit that he doesn't know everything, but is interested in learning. It shows that the man is also intelligent and worth their time. Felch was right on with his advice.

And believe me, as a college educated, intelligent woman, I can back it up 100% with my own dating experiences and the experiences of dozens of my girlfriends.

Even if the man is educated and intelligent, if he doesn't want to learn anything outside his previously chosen fields of interest, it looks like he is close minded and arrogant.

Just be honest, sincere, and start asking questions. Ask her where her expertise lies, what time periods are her favorite, what she is writing her thesis on, etc. Anytime you get someone talking about one of their passions, they will really start talking and then become comfortable and happy, which is the main goal of that conversation, right?

Good luck

How can anyone respect such a useless field? Art History is what people study when they can't get into anything else but their parents say they need to go to college.

[illiniastibly]

Not everyone does need to be like me. But I would appreciate if people put more effort into their careers.

Art history...seriously? How much of art history has changed in the past 100 years that it needs to be studied by so many people?


How many people with art history degrees do anything related to art history? Prince William got his art history degree and promptly did what with it?



The art history is pretty much the king of useless degrees and aimless students.

[expabsPapsgag]

Ask her " Why did renaissance people draw women so fat?"

Actually, Prince William has the family collection and financial wherewithal to become a very successful art dealer if he so chooses. But he's not an art dealer, is he.

The job prospects for philosophy majors aren't that bad. Teaching, HR, journalism, advertising, diplomacy...

In this regard, Art History is really worse.

[HsSp82U8]

NGggh, this has nothing to do with anything!

Art history major hardly makes one an intellectual. It just makes her unemployed in the future. Now, she probably has an ego you want to be stroking, she wants to see herself as superior to you. Not in a bad way, but in intellectual or "taste" way anyway. She doesn't want you to be stupid. But not as good as her.

Let her live in that little dream world of hers, and this in turn makes YOU the superior one. You see, when you are letting her control, it is you who are in control. Example, make sure you allow her to talk all about herself. The more she talks about herself, the better she feels about you. I know, it's weird! But that's the way most people are.

If you are an intellectual, or close to one, hot women will not approach you. They are deadly afraid of you, as you will expose their weakness to themselves. Usually, it is an overcompensation because of insecurities in this area. Not EVERYONE, but most. There are of course few exceptions.

Have you ever wondered why hot chicks go with douchebags when they're young, but then it turns around when people get older? It's because they are super insecure about their airheads. So to have a douche is to have all your buttons stroked, and none of your insecurities exposed. Thus, feeling good about yourself ensues.

THis is the key. None of the crap about anything matters, if she feels good about HERSELF with you, she will like you. She might even fall for you. This is not an ego thing, this is how people function. IT means they feel good and you are a factor in it, thus they like you. So it doesn' tmatter who they are, just make them feel good, now she is a smart type, so you've got to figure a way to do it. Talking about herself is always a good one. Ask about art, ask about her favourite work, and then ask HOW SHE FEELS ABOUT IT. Ok? Then you can establish a rapport better, you can say, that's like how you feel when you do X. Describe how it feels. Make her go to that place. Tadaaa! She feels good, and you are there. You must be special.

Then go and get that ass.
