Has your view on the opposite sex changed in university?

I think it's because you're in engineering and that's all you have at your disposal. You're adapting, my friend.

"Major turnon" - HIMYM lovers unite!
That last line caused me to remove my like from your previous post.

HIMYM sucks balls now.

Hmm have my views/opinions changed towards the male gender...I would say not really. My high school was a mix of different kinds of people, I haven't found uni to be much different. All/most of the guy friends I have made here have similarities to ones back home.

Actually, almost every male I know would disagree

To answer the original question.. Not really. I mean everyone matured a little bit, but not the point where my view of the entire male gender changed from the transition from high school to university.

just b/c you're a gamer doesn't mean you have to be unnatractive and obese. I like playing video games after I go for a run.....

Me? Negative? I wouldn't have made it into 4th year engineering if I was negative. I would have quit after I got my arse handed to me in the first engineering test I wrote.

But anyways, that is not the point. You may have that point of view on the show. My opinion is not going to change, I will still argue that the writers want to milk the show. Besides that, isn't the name of the show "HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER"? So basically the first idea you would get from such a title is that the show is a story about how a guy met his wife. It's logical my dear Watson.
