Dear Good Doctor,

I am an attractive, 19 year old sophomore in the Engineering college here at UNL, and even though the ratio of men to women is about 12 to 1, I still have problems getting dates. Most of the little techno-geeks that ask me out would make Quasimodo look like the campus stud. What should I do?

the doctor's reply:

There are several important factors to remember here, young lady. (A) Quasimodo was a nice guy. (B) One of those little techno-geeks might just invent something and wind up being richer than Bill Gates, which might make him look a whole lot better in your eyes. (C) When you can't drive a Rolls Royce, try a Chevy Nova. (D)Are you at all interested in an older, distinguished-looking gentleman? The good doctor is not doing anything Saturday night.
