Finance bro equivalents?
Went on a few dates with a ✨woman in STEM✨ and the only thing I could think about half the time was how they are the female equivalent to finance bros (or non gender specific equivalent).Don’t wanna get flames for being non-inclusive. I get it we’re all proud of our academic achievements and the rigor we exhibit and want to verbalize that sometimes.
However I think if anything STEM majors go further out of their way to express how smart and important they are just because they’re studying marine biology or something that doesn’t really even carry much weight. I know this may upset some people who have a background in math (quant tryhards I’m looking at you) but idc. I’m studying finance and real estate but I don’t make it my entire personality.
I get it that engineering majors have way more math classes than my finance degree did but just shut up. No one really cares how difficult your course-load is. Or wants to hear you bitch about it all the time too. Also STEM kids are 100% more cringe than finance majors.
Idk just a thought. Rant over.
I had the option to take a 3.0 Credit Hour Business major math class, but arrogantly thought I would destroy the 4.0 credit hour STEM Calculus class. I always did the homework last minute, thought the class was easy, never studied for the tests and needed an 89.5 to get an A. Teacher graded my final exam and I got an 89.4. I was too arrogant and coasted too hard. I needed some sort of extra credit - I told the teacher I would do anything. His only reply was "you should have gotten an 89.5." Damn bro you forreal thanks alot. haha. damn.
Teacher really did not give one single fuck sometimes. I know many professors would see that and just round it up. But it’s always the ones that don’t that make an impact on you and that drives you to be better.
I would have seriously written a 30 page paper on the theory of Calculus or anything.
You are a student. You are 18-22 years of age. You know nothing about finance, you know nothing about other professions, you even know nothing about women. This is the equivalent of saying dating chick doctors suck because you are in Biology 101 as 'pre-med' and met some other students you didnt like.
If you want to dunk on women in STEM then talk about how emotionally stunted they are, how much they get off on attention from dorky guys while holding plausible deniability about leading them on, how unfeminine they can be, and how in terms of personality they are basically just men with different anatomy
That being said STEM girls - real ones, not make believe 20 year olds - usually are much better than finance bro equivalents because they actually have a personality outside of their job, and while they are nerds they dont really care for the things that other similar income professionals do (ex: chasing titles, materialistic/status seeking, office politics) - again talking most STEM chicks and not FOB levels.fyi posters with no real identity and mental issues from their tiger parent upbringing. They do their job, make good money, drive a Subaru, go hike on weekends, and maybe do something else weird like play ultimate frisbee
Better finance bro comp is the 'girl boss'. But at least finance bros have a sense of irony in their superiority, while the girlboss buys into their professional identity wholesale
Oh yea playing frisbee is so much "better" than partying in st moritz whatever lmao
Fun casual hobbies that require a skill are better than hearing about people brag about ridiculously expensive vacations and act holier than thou since they dropped $20k to get fucked up on a beach internationally
Lots of assumptions in your response but I thought it was hilarious. I'm 28 years old, so I'm a little older and have been around the block longer than most in a more traditional schooling environment. I definitely know about finance, but I don't know anything about women... so you're right on that one. Sounds like you dated a woman in STEM and she dumped you for a Zuck. Shit happens bro. My personal experience was with a woman in STEM but like I said it's not confined to gender, even though I am talking about finance bro equivalents. I don't think STEM bros are as insufferable though. Girl boss is definitely a good comp though. Maybe a close runner up is real estate agent girlie...
Idk. I was a STEM woman- worked as a research scientist and majored in Biochem prior to switching to finance. Majority of my girlfriends are STEM woman as well (and I’m older than you OP). I would say we all worked extremely hard in school and my STEM classes were significantly harder than my finance classes/MBA even the comparable calculus/stats- I felt the business equivalent was less rigorous than my STEM required classes that were the same. Just getting through the minimum requisite classes to get into the major classes were challenging (calculus based physics/organic chem/calc 2). I think all of that hard work and watching so many peers not make it though inspires confidence in people.
I know well that STEM course work is way harder than business. What I’m saying is that I feel like STEM majors are more annoying than finance bros. Maybe finance bros are evolving idk. And by annoying I mean like brag about how many hours they spend in the library or how they make their whole personality them majoring in STEM. Probably could have worded it better on my part but it was a three cocktails deep post.
I probably just put myself right into the annoying STEM category by your definition with my response LOL. I can compare the two as I’ve lived both lives. I 100% confirm the grind was incredible in college where I lived in the library with a STEM major. About the same as the early analyst years grinding away in finance as well but TBH with STEM I would give it the edge because it was hours plus complexity.
