Had the same effect, and indirectly, the same cause.
Of course there was the additional problem of him feeling inferior to someone as smart and attractive as you.

For someone who has math anxiety, the anticipation of doing math prompts a similar brain reaction as when they experience pain—say, burning one’s hand on a hot stove.

Barbie said math is hard. Some people even believe philosophies taught by a doll.

Which proves a serious need for iconoclasts.

Why study math when they'll never use it ?

Actually it would be math teachers without "soft" or basic human skills, who make math hard. I learned it whenever I needed it, but was programmed by math teachers very early on to never enjoy it.

Odd how different experiences can be...

My Junior year high school math teacher turned me on to mathematics.
He also taught Biology and Chemistry, but I don't remember which years those were,
but I remember them classes as "good" classes.

In today's vernacular I guess he would just be called a "good teacher".
