我們的傳統觀念中，一直都有“男理工，女人文”這樣一個角色劃分。在現實生活中，學理工出身的男士的確不少，卻經常因為沒有生活情趣或者不懂制造浪漫而被女朋友埋怨。不過，在近幾年，這個趨勢好像有點逆轉了。“理工男”似乎在一夜之間成為了萬千女性追逐的目標。他們到底有哪些特征呢？

Science geek refers to a group of highly intelligent men who majored in science and technology. They boast extensive scientific knowledge, love high-tech inventions and challenging computer games, and are curious about life. However, they may lack some common sense in regular relationship with other people.

“理工男”指學理工科出身又擁有高智商的那么一群男士。他們的理工科知識面很廣，熱愛高科技發明，喜歡挑戰電腦游戲，同時對生活充滿好奇。不過，他們在人際交往方面似乎缺少一些必要的常識。

The heroes in the American TV drama "The Big Bang Theory" might be the most typical representatives of this group. They play 3D chess, create Row-Sham-Bow that is much more difficult than the normal one，and do various experiments that are totally unknown to the world.

美劇《生活大爆炸》中的幾位主角應該是“理工男”群體的最典型代表。他們玩立體國際象棋，玩增加了N個難度級別的剪刀石頭布，做各種莫名奇妙的試驗。
