Losing many girls "because you are a programmer" is actually because you work long hours. And, the thing about programming is that work isn't restricted to work hours. Bankers can leave their work in the office. A programmer can work in the office, in the bus on the way home, in bed, in the bathroom , ANYWHERE. So, given that you love your work, you'll do it a lot, and it might eat into your time for other things.

I plan to become a programmer in future, and, trust me, I'll still have time for other things.

My brother, you are just getting started

galatico:
Yes if there is LOVE.

You know, it amazes me how people mistakes everything for love. Ask the grown-ups, you will know that common sense have to go along with LOVE
Love is amazing, but there are lot of things to consider when planning a family if you don't want to run into an abyss of doom.
Lets take this as an example:
You said you love your girl friend right? so you don't even bother to check your blood compatibility (Why? LOVE is above everything now.....)
At the end of the day, you are an "AS" and also your wife is an "AS".
What do you expect will be the result (A very likelihood of an "SS" offspring).
So who caused that? (bad luck?, God? your own fault?). So my brother LOVE is essential but not the only essential thing in marriage.
