As a lifelong geek girl... (Score 1)

I tend to think that, given more exposure to technology, most girls would pick it up as often as men do.

I've been doing various "geeky" things all my life -- good at math, had a Commodore 64 in 2nd grade, and so on. On the other hand, more than one of my male friends has introduced his girlfriend to our heavily-geeky crowd, and it *always* results in her taking a much stronger interest in technology, sometimes to the level of wanting to program herself.

And I don't know if it's just me, but having dated one geek man, I found that other men -- of any sort -- didn't measure up. I'm marrying a geek.
