The Bridge Too Far: Dating Engineers

The eternal curse of dating an engineer: involuntarily becoming a walking encyclopedia of bridge facts. This poor soul has been traumatized by multiple engineering boyfriends mansplaining cantilevers and load-bearing structures over dinner. The irony is delicious - she's accidentally developed enough engineering knowledge to attract MORE engineers, creating a self-perpetuating cycle of unwanted bridge trivia. It's like trying to escape quicksand by struggling - you only sink deeper into discussions about tensile strength. Next thing you know, you're lying awake at 3 AM wondering if the Tacoma Narrows collapse could have been prevented.
