Even university majors from more complex subjects like STEM will have less sex than the stupid majors like gender studies and art history . A whole lot of different factors play in this . To study stuff like gender studies or art history you gotta have some sort of financial security because you sure as hell won ' t ever make a lot of money . So more rich people . And that money is attractive should not be news to anyone . Also STEM ppl tend to be higher on technical intelligence than social intelligence , being socially inept sure as hell makes having sex more difficult . Additionally STEM in average takes a lot more of your time than lets say art history . Can be kinda hard to maintainfind a relationship when you don ' t have time for her . Another factor is that there ' s far less girls in STEM fields . At the start of uni most people you know study with you . If your courses consist of 80 % men it ' s less likely you meet a girl through studies . In my opinion the higher amount of virgins is more a side effect of the social awkwardnes that often comes with being highly intelligent .
