Should You Date a Mathematician?

I hope people would date mathematicians. I broke up with my boyfriend a couple weeks ago, and don't want to be single forever!

After reading the article, I discovered that I don't know the color of my eyes, nor that of my ex-boyfriend's eyes.

I guess I'm that kind of mathematician. Forever alone. :(

Eye color is nothing. Can you remember faces and names?

I struggle to remember names of faces of people. I have very poor memory for names, faces, and all that sort of thing. I don't remember the names of movies, celebrities or any of that sort of thing. I remember by people by their intellectual thoughts (I.E. the person who though X, or the person with spoke with this sort of vocabulary).

Am I a mathematician? Not really. I gave up on mathematics after I got addicted to the 3x+1 problem.

I can't remember faces, but I do okay at matching faces to names.

HN is not the place for memes, but cheer up.

You've now identified a problem. Whats important is what you do about it.
