In doing so they only prove their immaturity (which is not attractive). For this reason most men my age drive me nuts. I have found that the best ideas come through colaboration not competition. I am going to throw out a cheesey line, "we work better when we work together". I love working in research teams.

I am glad to see you like research... I do too. But as you get higher in your field, men start to harp of women who pursue a math or science career... Especially one that they perceive as attractive...
So how do you defend yourself with buttwipes in science? Make sure you know your stuff...
And remember, they are men and they do look... So you can use those items to your advantage sometimes, but use them wisely...
Remember most guys in science are geeks. So once you understand that, then you can befriend them better and have them on your side when you need them...
I have a Ph.D. in Molecular Biology... That's why I am telling you. I hope you pursue and advance degree, too!
