male or female

Let's put it this way, if you always had lots of girls chasing you, you wouldn't bother sitting infront of a computer either. Girls don't even have to be pretty. All they have to do is have an outgoing attitude and guys will chase them like dogs.

Nah, I still sit in front of my computer ;-)

So does Piptol :lol:

I was coming home from Victoria University, from a Biology field trip once, and since I needed to make the train station I ran all the way. By the time I got on the train (just on time) I was sweaty, hot and tired. So I sit down on a seat near the door, and this girl from wellington college sits down next to me and starts "rubbing" (if ya know what I mean). That was my first *real* contact with a girl, and she asked me out twice on the way home, but she only got a first name :lol: I had no idea that someone would like a guy who smells like a pig when hot and was pseudo coding a computer program on the train when she got on :lol:

Anyone else have a funny/wierd/interesting "first encounter" story?

My first encounter was slightly less interesting, when some girl I can't even remember asked me out in Junior high in one of those "Do you like me? Check yes or no" notes. I recall checking no because she kind of wierded me out at the time.

I can't figure out for the life of me, why programmers are so fascinated by the opposing sex. A programming girl is like some kind of alluring myth that haunts people all the time. There aren't a lot of female programmers for the same reason there aren't a lot of female video game nerds or female fan geeks. But you'll find a few anywhere, it's just so hard to care.

The weirdest encounter I had with a girl was one that stalked me at work. We threw a goth party at work early this year when Marilyn Mason's Golden Age of Grotesque came out, so I did myself up in black and red eye makeup and lipstick and made some fake piercings, two on my lower lip (still got scars on the inside from those ;-)), one on the bridge of my nose and a whole bunch of rings and safety pins through the ears. I was working on the floor (picking up glassware and such) and some girl thought I looked real hot and wouldn't leave me alone all night, kept trying to kiss me or drag me into the toilets. I think she lost interest after she realised the piercings were fake.

For those who have never been, heres what my work looks like on a quiet night:

heh heh, loose caboose... :lol: sounds boring

well, i was at this one dance. i was sitting, when two girls who i didn't know came along and started fighting over who'd dance with me. unfortunately, i just walked away. I was stupid then what is it with us programmers? we can't seem to pick up girls!!! :rotfl: Loose Caboose, toonski, oracle, me... must be the programmer inside us

unless, of course you guys have success stories. come one, lets hear them!

It always seems easier abroad, for some reason. I was doing a working holiday in a conveience store in Maryland, when a group invited me to their house party after I sold them some cut price beer. Ah, that was a great night I was several hours late into work the next day though, but luckily the (normally a/hole) boss was in a good mood so I escaped getting fired on that ocassion..
