She even has a massively large geek watch.

Bored so I translated it.

0100 0010 0110 0001 0111 0010 0110 0010 0110 1001 0110 0101

Or in ASCII "Barbie"

you might be the first person to discover that

although i groaned when i heard about Computer Engineer Barbie, maybe she will inspire someone to be the next Jony Ive.

i'm impressed with the attention to detail. the laptop even looks like it has a standard keyboard

I hope so...I'm taking Computer Engineering in University, and the Male to Female ratio is definitely lacking.

Ugh, bluetooth headset.

65 people in my office, and one tech girl.
she doesnt look like that.

My wife's a geek girl and she's hot. She doesn't look like Barbie, though. More Italian. Way more Italian.

Also: not so leggy and plastic-y...

You might think the opposite ratio would be perfect, but it's actually very bad in a different way. The social dynamics change when you're the vastly scarce resource. I had a 1 in 10 male to female ratio in my program in college and everyone says that it must have been awesome, but when you're that badly outnumbered, there's a lot of social pressure for you to fit in. On the opposite end of things, can you imagine how much more awkward and hard it would be for someone in your program to go up to that one girl and ask her out when she's got at least dozens of other options and could quite possibly be already dating one of your classmates?

It's nice to enjoy a good male-female ratio, but it'd be better to have it in a more modestly lopsided way. Somewhere around 40-60 would probably be more natural feeling, but still very advantageous.

I like "fitting in."

ricercar · « **Reply #12 on:** Tue, 02 March 2010, 12:13:15 »

my previous company had 12 men to 13 women in the developer cubes. I wanted to stay.

itlnstln · « **Reply #13 on:** Tue, 02 March 2010, 12:15:58 »

Damn, that's pretty good. My job's about the same, but I don't work with programmers. They're all married, though, but that's fine by me, youknowwhatI'msayin'?

ricercar · « **Reply #14 on:** Tue, 02 March 2010, 12:42:56 »

Married or no, for me it's the view during work hours, not the fantasies of later.

LOL, lemme tell you what I meant by "fitting in." If you live in a world in which you're one of the only dudes and you had to stay on people's good sides for your own survival, you have to learn how to act like one of the girls. There are comments you quickly learn not to make and if someone just broke up with her guy, you learn to say two words that you practice in the mirror just for this occasion: "MEN SUCK!"

Like...

"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. What are you doing later?"

"Well, I just got this bottle of Patron..."

"**** that guy. Do you know why they call me ItlnStln?"

And many others...

Haha! You might survive.

Men are ****s.
I'm wrong. So wrong, I could not have been more wrong, as usual.
