The perfect girl
-
Back in my rock & roll days, my definition of the perfect girl was reasonably simple. Above and beyond the obvious desire to have her look good in high heels and a little black dress, I just wanted someone who enjoyed the creative & party lifestyle of a musician. These days, prompted in no small way by, er, lessons learned (no bunny jokes, please :)), I find that my requirements are a bit more in depth. Someone who is naturally happy and positive by nature (harder to find that it would seem), intelligent enough for deep conversation, and while she doesn't have to be a full on programmer, a little geekness would go a long way. I mention this just in case Santa is reading CP, of course. How 'bout you guys - at least the ones who are single - who's the perfect geek girl for you? You never know, you might get your wish. Never underestimate the effectiveness of bribing reindeer. :-D

Writing apps? Developing sites? Hate marketing? We can help.I know a woman who in her rock and roll days married her perfect man: a musician. She worked in a famous (around here) music store growing up went to all the big concerts and was attracted to him as a musician. They got pregnant early in their relationship and they ended up getting married at quite a young age and having a son. Fast forward many years and he's still a struggling musician barely able to keep down a job, more often than not she's supporting everyone and I think she has a *very* different view of the perfect man. :)

Or maybe I should just start liking video games and settle for Morgan Webb. I knew some girls in calculus class back in high school that were pretty appealing.

I like girls that are as smart as me, but not much smarter. My ego can't take it. :((

So smart is a requirement then, eh?

Yeah, most parents are either afraid that their sons will grow up to be rock musicians or that their daughters will run off with one. Looks like I cover all the bases there. :)

Heh, that's what I love about high school girls. I keep getting older, but they keep staying the same age.
Okay, now you're just scaring me. :)

Back when I was married, I was a brand new programmer and my wife was a seriously senior level QA person. In other words, we both made about the same money. As we changed jobs we'd leap frog each other in salary. While we had some fun with this, I never had a problem with it when she made more than me. As for smarter than me, well, that doesn't really set the bar very high. :)
