I'm interested in all kinds of topics, including physics, but a man really needs to know what he is talking about, not just pretending to know by throwing smart-sounding words like "theory and philosophy".
On the flight home today, me and my brother got talking about the airplane, the wing, and lift. So I told him everything I remembered about Bernoulli's Principle. He sarcastically said, "Super. Thanks. I really wanted to know all that. Bet the ladies love you."
My response was that between 51 and 66% of women would enjoy hearing about Bernoulli's Principle.
Who was right?
EDIT: 51 to 66% of women would find physics talk more interesting than articles in People Magazine. Depending on age.
Hi JSizzle225,
I doubt most people would want to sit between two people discussing it. Especially if one of them is me since I do not consider that to be the best explanation of flight. Some people may insist that I believe it is. That poor girl already has to keep both her elbows in.

I think you have missed the point.
1) Only my brother and myself even had this conversation. Our third guest was asleep.
2) I'm well aware of how to pick up a woman. I was born talking, so that's not my problem when it comes to women...I just usually can't pick 'em.
I made a joke that it looked like the wing wasn't glued on very well. My brother corrected me, not knowing I was joking, talking about "lift." I told him, "thanks professor," and let him know that I remembered Bernoulli's Principle.
He then told me that would put most women to sleep. I retorted that most women would find that fascinating, and reminded him that I save most his screw ups in the bar.
He told me that women find Celebrity Gossip fascinating, which I told him I find boring.
So the bet was made:
In casual conversation, I said that 3/5 women would prefer to hear about Physics than Celebrity gossip. In a total cross section of women in the US...anything at 51% and above I would win. He wins at 50% and below.
I don't think 51-66% of women OR men would find the topic interesting. Usually when my hubby goes on a science rant, I just nod my head. However, I do find the TV show Big Bang Theory freakin' hilarious. It's like watching the hubby on TV!

My ex-husband also considers Algebra good bedtime reading material, but had he started with it, we certainly would've never shared a bed!

this could get hairy if I'm not careful. 
Well I could talk about you if you'd like.
