Are architects dickheads?

Marcus Trimble

A recent debate was held in Sydney asking, 'are architects dickheads?' The theory being that we constantly stab our own proffession in the back, will work for nothing etc. Here is an article about it.

Well, are we dickheads?

Joe Young: Oh... I, I can't say that.
Maxxx Orbison: Say what?
Joe Young: What are they called?
Maxxx Orbison: The Assfuck Twins.
Joe Young: I can't say that. Can we call them something else?
Maxxx Orbison: But they're the Assfuck Twins.
Joe Young: Well I know, but um, couldn't I call them the Naughty Twins or something?
Maxxx Orbison: No, you *couldn't* just call them the Naughty Twins. They're the Assfuck Twins. Why would you call them The Naughty Twins when they get fucked in the ass all the time?
Joe Young: Well, that's pretty naughty.

I'm laminating that article and basing all pickup lines around it:

"Hey, have you read this article yet? Did I mention I'm an architect?"

ahem... INTERN (architect) kinda kills that sex appeal though.

yeah, the appeal is hopefully based on the skills and poise, not the title. But I have been known to be overly positive before ....

For a female architect, it tends to be an immediate turn-off for most men when I first tell them I am an architect. I usually don't offer up that information unless asked. Men are easily intimidated, they lean back, and the eyes open wide, they look the other way and change the subject.

But once they know me, male friends for example, tend to like that I am an architect and are impressed with it, they bring it up in conversation, "Well, what does the architect think?" and look at me, and that's cool.
My husband loves that I am an architect. Most of the time. Well, maybe some of the time.

PsyArch, you are no better than the acting proffession.

Strawbeary - female architects tend not to fit into the submissive roll, weak men can't handle it.

Pixelwhore - laminate the article to the back of your business card - that should do the job!

Strawbeary, the turn off for men is that they probably assume you're smarter than them. Not a desirable feature for average joe.
Yeah, PR exec.? My gawd, I would kill myself before I dated a PR exec. I can't imagine much worse.

Being a dickhead is certainly not gender specific...

We are all <insert mildly abusive term/dickhead>s, it's just that some of us are working on changing.

However, the perspective remains the same and no matter how much work one does to morph out of adolescence/dickheadism, we must all be in constant conversation with our "inner dickhead". Think of it as your id.

PR execs?
glitzed up, yes they are. no matter if they're 'hot or not', becuase marketers are cognitively repulsive.

"hey.. since you know about all of this buildings stuff, you can help me rip out a wall full of asbestos junk."

Interesting that our self image is lower than our public value. Perhaps it is due to us filtering out the outside world and public opinion. Then again, I am a student and my world exists in a flippin studio and computer lab. Oh Christmas vacation. I long for the day we meet again.

I tend to think female architects are hot. It is all I have dated for the past three years. The normal ladies just dont get it like a hottie architect lassie.
