There are far more male programmers... As a programmer, be gay or stay alone... Choose!

    Can programmers only be with other programmers or am I missing something?

    "JSON parser 100% from scratch in Haskell in 110 lines" doesn't get you horny? I guess some people are just wired differently.

    I’m a programmer myself but my wife isn’t a programmer, that was my motivation for questioning.

    Don't worry. I mean nothing but humour by it. I myself am married to a physicist who takes absolutely no interest whatsoever in programming, but can talk happily for ages about something weird they found.

    There are those who transition, so a significant chunk of that male programmer population is "male" as in quotation marks, only that some transition earlier than others. Does not guarantee that you can get the transgender autistic puppygirl (or other variations) of your dreams, since many of them are lesbians.

    But also feel free to look outside your field for a partner. It's okay to date an artist as a programmer.

    I think programmer should be seen as a gender itself.

    I'm currently transitioning myself, already have a homeserver and a Linux PC, can't wait to be a real programmer.

    It's odd in the Australian public service, with COBOL programmers. They've been in the job long enough that they started when the public service was the only employer who would employ women as programmers. I'm on the systems analyst side of the fence, the programmers I have worked with include a bit more than 60% women

    I think all the programmers I know are married or gay or not interested. I think the gay ones are mostly married too.
