You Should Not Date a Communication Researcher
0
You should not date a communication researcher.
He is hard-to-get. He thinks he is special because he knows there are only a few like him. True enough, he might even be the first communication researcher you’ve met.
Winning an argument over him is like a snowball’s chance in hell. He will make the most out of his expertise in theories. He has every reason in the world! He will throw incomprehensible -isms to you like they’re just lucid justifications. You would wish you didn’t even start to engage in the bicker.
He is a perfectionist. His hobby is revision, especially if things do not go his way. He will tell you to retire smoking and drinking, he will ask you to walk faster, he will shut you up. Worse, he can scrap a relationship as easy as disposing papers he’s not content with.
He won’t have time for you. You couldn’t blame him; it’s the nature of what he does. If you’re unfortunate, you would chance upon someone who’s on theory grounding. He will literally have to remind himself of your dates through post-its and mobile phone reminders.
He has trust issues. Validity and reliability is of utmost significance to him. He has an internal code book where he can construe even the slightest flick of your finger. So be wary of your actions.
Most of all, he is boring. He will talk about theories, variables, and measures nonstop. He will acquaint you with Focault and Barthes and Althusser. His room does not have framed paintings or photographs but is a library of scholarly journals and photocopied researches. His laptop is filled not with music and videos but gathered data and more academic writings. He will exhaust you of dullness!
Do not date a communication researcher.
Still, a communication researcher loves beyond compare. He does. And no qualitative or quantitative approach can measure the affection he devotes.
