Are most of programmers overweighted ?
-
Just heard that phrase from a friend today. In my case this is not true because most of the programmers/sys. analysts I know are normal weighted (like me) or slim. How about you guys ? Do you know more overweighted or slim programmers ? Mauricio Ritter - Brazil Sonorking now: 100.13560 Trank :jig: I've gone sending to outer space, to find another race :jig:

The phrase over-weighted sounds like you're saying programmers hold more value than they're worth, as in "the odds we're weighted in his favor." I know what you're trying to say though. In Canada we say a heavier person is over-weight. I would say that the older a programmer is the more likely they are to be over-weight. These young whipper-snappers coming out of these fancy colleges now-adays with their new-fangled degrees... they still have social lives to motivate them into fitness. Why not throw away a dime? I throw away ten pennies all the time.

I use to work with a gigantic coder in Sydney. When we went in the elevator he would shout out as people got in, "The Elevator is almost Overloaded", and people get out of it. :-) I'm unsure how much he weighed but they had to build special furniture for him. For myself I have a tendency to gain weight, so I spend a couple of hours almost every day working out etc. But I have noticed most coders are thin it seems to me. Regardz Colin J Davies

I am very glad that the stereotypical image of a programmer is being slowly expunged from everyday life. Now that it seems like us IT guys are raking in the bucks, we are not so nerdy and ugly after all. I remember the days when if you were a programmer you were either a fat pimply nerd or a scrawny pimply nerd. I was a scrawny pimply nerd when it was time to pick the Rugby squad, and a fat pimply nerd when it came to girls, go figure. Never normal, always to the extreme. Most of the programmers I know are normal guys/gals, from thin "pizza is not a good diet" pimply guys through to fat "pizza is not a good diet" pimply guys, and everywhere inbetween. Just like any other profession (I know a fat dietician, does not do all that well, but he still has clients if you can believe.) I wonder what the next profession to be targeted as nerdy will be. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love, and to be loved in return - Moulin Rouge Tim Smith wrote: Over here in the third world of humor (a.k.a.

I could definitely afford to lose weight. I don't overeat or drink beer, but working at the PC 16 hours a day doesn't leave much time for exercise. Not healthy, for sure. :( /ravi Let's try putting "civil" back into "civilization" http://www.ravib.com ravib@ravib.com

I could certainly afford to lost 1 or 2 (er. 10 or 20 ...er... 30 or 40) pounds. I'd say that its 50/50. Many of the programmers I have met are overweight, but many are not.

My doctor tells me I need to put on weight, as 130lbs is too light for my age/height. I think I look pretty normal. And I know more slim programmers than fat ones, if you're talking about young people (-25). Simon I need your clothes, your boots, and your copy of VS.NET.

Well I could do with losing some weight, sitting at a desk all day doesn't do much for ones body. I've never worked with any really 'large' programmers and most of the programmers at the conferences I've attended have been pretty normal sized too. It is the old sterotype of a overweight guy with a pony tail and beard, wearing a bermuda shirt and shorts. However PASCAL programmers died out a long time ago :-D Michael :-)
