Title: Are programmers creepy? Post by: gweedo on September 30, 2012, 03:15:08 AM My friend sent me this a couple days ago, I mean are programmers still creepy? I know when I tell people I program, they look at me weird and tell me that I should be a business person or something else.

Prejudices work both ways. Title: Re: Are programmers creepy?

Prejudices work both ways. I came here to post this, thank you for beating me to it. Title: Re: Are programmers creepy? Post by: grondilu on September 30, 2012, 09:10:53 AM I'm pretty sure that when someone spend years in the darkness of a room, working on a computer, at some point it has to have some negative impact on his physical appearance.

Title: Re: Are programmers creepy? Post by: irritant on October 01, 2012, 08:39:43 AM it is creepy if you dont know how to program
;D Title: Re: Are programmers creepy? Post by: Lethos on October 01, 2012, 08:58:08 AM Most programmers I know (I am one too) vary from down to earth, calm and collected intellectuals to eccentric genius' who's grasp on reality is a warped. Their is everything in between of course. My favourite programmers are the ones who are bat shit crazy, they are so fascinating to me. I am somewhere in the middle most the time.
We vary a lot. Of course the only people who think we are "creepy" are usually the people looking for attention and actually get it from those who did not actually want it from. Not all of us are blessed with rock star chisel jaw lines. So if someone like herself from the picture provided thinks programmers are creepy, she properly thinks that about a lot of people and it's partially her fault. I fully admit to being eccentric, but I'm not bat shit crazy yet. Give it time, my fiancée says. Title: Re: Are programmers creepy?

Computer programmers make a lot of money which means they can afford good housing. They also usually have family loving wives and raise children.

Yeah, but I am a forum troll and not a programmer http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/7/78/Trollface.svg/200px-Trollface.svg.png Title: Re: Are programmers creepy? Post by: Kontakt on October 01, 2012, 03:55:51 PM I think she's going to attract the creepy programmers because of her picture. Stereotypes attract one another.
Title: Re: Are programmers creepy? Post by: Lethos on October 01, 2012, 04:08:18 PM Out of curiosity I found her on twitter, some stereotypes are too predictable, She's a Cam Girl.
Nothing wrong with it, just found it funny. Now I know why they acted "creepy". Title: Re: Are programmers creepy? Post by: Kontakt on October 01, 2012, 04:10:42 PM Nailed it.

Introverted people aren't going to interact with very active people looking for attention very often. |
