I've actually seen a pic of him, just not on CP. Nothing like Bob at all... I think.

No good - there's no "bloodshot" value for eye color in that app...

If I can't wangle one for myself how can I be expected to help another?
Maybe petition in Bugs & Sugs for a Lonely Hearts forum, sort of like the Get-Togethers forum.
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

All you need is a million dollars. Not sure why you make it sound difficult.

Money can't buy you love. But you can get a good substitute (or something that rhymes with it)

You do know you're talking to nerds and geeks right Jeremy?
We can't all have the professional head shots like you to attract the ladies. There is strong competition, Vivic will have to wait or battle it out like the rest of us to be found by someone who can ignore or overlook our geekiness. Or start to make the big bucks... face it, people with money can pretty much do what they want. 
Some of us do get lucky. I did, although it could be about timing as I met my wife before I was a software engineer. 
It was broke, so I fixed it.

Quite. Mine was very appreciative of a program I wrote for her that saved her many hours of a repetitive task where we were working at the time.

Yup. I also realize there are a lot of women out there that don't hate smart people. Being into tech doesn't make you bad with women. Being too afraid to talk to them does however.

There's a lot of good looking guys out there that can't find a chick. You'd be surprised just how much personality counts. Besides, Vivic is a good looking guy. He just needs himself a woman!

The problem is that 'being into tech' frequently implies 'being too afraid (or incapable) to talk to them'.

I totally agree. But, it doesn't make it impossible. Just gotta get out of the house/office a bit more.

That would certainly help. But the comfort zone has it's name for a reason. Dragging yourself out of it is difficult even if it is for your own benefit.

I think that may be why the stereotype exists, all time not spent with the fairer sex allowing one to focus on the tech without distraction.

Hmmm, so you are saying Vivic needs to get a personality?

You are correct sir! But, we're still human. And as human we need some distraction every now and again if you catch my drift.

Nah, he needs himself a local chick. Text does not a relationship make.

Oh I dunno. Kids these days text each other from the same room.

If he's lucky there *might* be a local one. Or he could emigrate...

I'm not sure how available most of them are, though, even in the general case and not the specific case of being also close enough to Vivic and liking him. It seems like CP isn't a great place to try to meet women, really!

Exactly. You don't go to the desert to fish. That's why most tech guys don't find a woman. They need to go where the fish are and start fishing.

Is that through bitter personal experience?

I concur. It's not the way I do it. However you can guarantee that they'll tolerate nerdy behaviour.

I'm not nerdy enough to have resorted to trying to chat up female CP users :p
