Are girls in STEM fields are nicer and smarter than in humanities?

Perhaps, this post can trigger you but it's solely based on my personal experience.
I study physics and somehow am mostly attracted to similar girls. I have tried otherwise but always find that girls from other backgrounds like humanities are generally ruder.
They have more free time and science courses are time-consuming so can't afford to spend too much fun time every day.
You can talk to science girls about anything and the opposite isn't true.
Girls from humanities spend much time on looks and guys in humanities are generally from rich backgrounds.
If they show interest in a science guy it's for their own benefit. One girl from geography showed fake interest in me and flirted so that I help her write content for a conference.
Girls from science are more passionate about it and most of their social media are not about just looks (even if they are former models) but their work and passion.

I got the opposite impression on the nicer front (not necessarily intellect) but I'm a computer science major and software engineer by trade. Most of the women I've worked with along with men always came off a bit dry and cold to me: high IQ but low EQ, so to speak.

That said, I have met some really nice and friendly women in different parts of STEM like biologists and medical researchers.

I tend to be more drawn to women in the humanities though. I like very passionate women with a zest for life and adventure, and so the women I was drawn to most included artists, historians, dancers, and I ended up marrying a very sociable literature major with a passion for traveling.

It might be case-by-case with respect to the specific field. Instead of breaking it down to STEM vs. arts and humanities, I think a breakdown might be more people-oriented vs. things-oriented. I tend to get along best with women who are more people-oriented, but that includes some in STEM.

Computer science girls are different than in core science research fields as they are more job-oriented. Literature major girls mostly want already successful guys who have much free time and you fit into that description at the time of marriage. Science girls generally date guys when they have nothing and built with them.

CompSci types in general might just kind of misclick with me. I'm an oddball as I'm an extrovert in spite of it. I think physics sounds like it would often yield more interesting company. I click much more with the likes of Richard Feynman than Stephen Wolfram. My physics professor at least was a very fun and outgoing guy, even though I didn't talk to so many of the students in the course.

I think it all just depends on the person. I don't think it is related to STEM or humanities.

I disagree, and think it’s a pretty broad generalization. I met a pretty diverse group of people from all fields of study in college and didn’t see any particular difference in behavior. Those I associated with, like me, took our studies seriously and weren’t party animals.

Maybe? STEM fields require a certain sort of intelligence that humanities do not.

I disagree. They’re equally smart and nice.

I don't know all the girls I have had horrible experiences with being friends with or in general, always turned out to be girls in humanities.
STEM girls were always better friends in need, nice to me.

I’m sorry. But that’s not universal. Most of the girls I knew in STEM were very nice though.
