As a Woman in Tech, I Realized: These Are Not My People

I was very popular with girls for about 2 years between 14-16, but was still hugely geeky. The idea that there are lonely men out there that think 'I can't get girls, I'll become a geek instead!' Laughable.

And then you became unpopular with girls suddenly? Because you became more or less geeky, or what? And what does being "very popular" at 14 have to do with adults being lonely?

I have no clue what your intention was with that post.

I think I became uglier as I grew up. My point was that my popularity with girls was independent of my geekiness. They fancied me in spite of my geekiness because I was beautiful (for about 2 years, I lament their loss). Not getting girls didn't make me any more or less geeky, just less happy.
