Many years ago . . .
. . I knew a psychologist lady who ran a monthly "Seminar for Singles" in Pasadena (not far from JPL). I attended some meetings, though back then I was a bit young for the average attendance.
Funny thing was, half the attendees were divorced engineers, all confused because they'd done "everything right and by the book", yet their wives walked out on them. The other half were women who wouldn't touch an engineer with a 3 meter pole, because they used to be married to one.
The psychologist eventually gave it all up, changed here name to Eartha and moved to a hippy commune somewhere.
