She's likely to just ignore me like the rest of the women I approach. I can hardly blame her, but you'd think the women who actually post personal ads would respond to me. My opening lines can't be that bad, can they? Here's my ad: "Foul-mouthed, compulsive male seeks gorgeous female who grocks pointers and encyrption math. Must enjoy spending long hours in dark rooms coding until her eyes hurt, then be overcome with the desire to mountain-bike for miles on end until she can no longer stand. Women with previous modelling experience who look good in swimsuits preferred. Money and expensive toys are a plus." I'm thinking about changing it a bit. Perhaps I'm too picky ... I mean, as I grow older (and more desperate) I'm starting to learn that just because she's confused by pointers doesn't mean she can't write useful code. I mean, many of the high-level languages don't even use pointers, right? -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com
