Speaking as another bisexual female programmer, I don't think we should portray programmer men as attractive mates for pretty little females at all. I think we should portray them as suitable mates for the scores of lonely scab-encrusted behemoth women who are intelligent enough to appreciate the beautiful internal logic of the warped minds in their gelatinous undersunned bodies.

I can't tell you how many times I frustratedly tried to get the attention of a seemingly intelligent male who only had eyes for airhead princesses who goggled stupidly at his witty comments. Although I tried to tell myself that they were just too insecure to want to date someone who was as smart as they were, I'm sure it also had something to do with the fact that they were unwilling to open themselves up to the possibility that they might date someone who looked less than perfect. As if dating an average-looking, intelligent women was somehow admitting that they also were less than perfect looking. Or something.

However, speaking as another bisexual female programmer, I also think that we should create a militant faction of cyberdykes and create a futuristic outpost somewhere in Montana where we will develop plans for our mind-control ray with which we will take over the world.
