Female engineers are surrounded by men all day. I have two female friends who are in said profession, and they have their choice of men. Unfortunately, engineers (male AND female) tend to be very picky.
I used to be an engineer. But I just quit to be a “housewife” with my new baby. I was an engineer for 15 years.
Sometimes, it just takes time to find a good person to marry who is also available.
In some ways I have had it really good - solid education and career, then I’m starting to be “just a mom”. Maybe I’ll go back later, I don’t know. But in any case, now, I’ve had it all, in a way.
My husband is an Engineer. We met in college. Our oldest is going to major in Engineering (she’s a Senior in high school now). He says that female engineers are few and those females when he was in college weren’t in his social group. Our kid is also an athlete so maybe it will be different for her. She’s also a “social butterfly” so who knows.
Engineers are very picky, lol. They’re so detail oriented. We think we met in the right place at the right time.
