You can find your answer earlier in the same sentence:

> Finding intimate relationships becomes particularly difficult when you can't achieve the inspiration since most young women aren't exactly excited to talk about code, or tech, or any of the things HN types tend to dedicate our lives to.

they are talking about their personal dating life (or lack thereof).

[Edit] One of the neat things about formal reasoning is that it forces you to be explicit about your assumptions. In this case, the original comment seems to be making the assumption that most HN types are heterosexual males and homosexual women, single and with poor social skills.

I took it to be a more personal statement, that they themselves fall into that classification and are thus making the statement from their own perspective.
