Should A Programmer Marry A Programmer?
« on: July 28, 2008, 12:29 PM »

Was having a chat with a friend some days back javarules. i told him i am hell bent on marrying a programmer and he was of the opinion that "nurses" make the best wiives for programmers, cos they are trained to be patient. He also said "u know we programmers are sometimes annoying, so a patient woman is best".

Wats your opinion on this, cos nothing can change my mind ooo. I dey find programmer wife ooooo Cheesy

I dont see a direct relation between your profession and your choice of spouse.
Probably the most important thing is how compatible you two are.

Honestly,

I dont think a programmer should marry another programmer,  Think about all the things your discussion would be based on??? And I personally would like to marry someone who is not in the same profession I am in, 

And also think about when you talk to her about technology, she'll think your the most smartest person in the whole universer,  oh well. that's my 2 cent.

@ Javalove

Will you guys ever have time for eachother as husband and wife, let alone lovers in love? Don't let me imagine what rearing kids could look like for the rest of your lives,  Beware!

lol,

@ange

u right but dont u think the kind of husband i make too is worth considering. I'm the cool type, who is always helping to give a helping hand. She doesnt have to raise d children alone, we would do that both. I would also be willing to help wash the dishes, cook while she draws up a job specification. She would also be there to play with the kids (Abdul Azeez and Raliat Cheesy i dont have dem yet though Cheesy) while i do the damage with my codes,  it would be a symbiotic thing really.

our discussion would be based on what our lives is built around - programming.Won't that be nice. We will crack programming jokes 2geda, read together and probably not have time for anything except each other,

Ride on brother! You may not be me,and I'm definitely not you. Your meat may be my poison any way. Maybe we could look at it from a fictional point of view. Ever seen the movie, "24", i mean the Season 5? Chloe O'brian of CTU, is (or was married) to a Moris O'brian. And I mean these guys are pure, hardcore technoids. My point? Your wish can be a possibility, and who knows, your family could be the greatest programmer-family in the world. As far you love your wife for who she is, no shaking!!!

Please javalove stop living in a fool's paradise. If u marry a programmer and it works, believe me its d exception and not the rule. Well its true most of us are exceptional, but our lives are based on rules. u get my point?

If you are a programmer like myself, then this is your picture

My room is unkempt 75% of the time
I eat out 75% of the time
I dont sleep most times b4 12am and u wont find me in bed most times after 5am
I hate doing things that I can't automate, eg washing/ironing
Whenever I am coding I go into "offline" mode(i.e I am physically there, my mind is somewhere else)
People who meets me in the office always thinks I am an asshole(I laugh with them one minute, I snub them the other, not that I do that on purpose, I have gone to offliine mode lol)
I think think think, before I do(i think more dn I do)

Now if a husband and a wife have these qualities, picture in your mind what kind of home their home will be, what kind of children they will raise, what kind of relationships they will have with other people etc.

Again I will recommend these books,

Why u act the way u do (Tim Lahaye)
The four(or five i cant remember) languages of love (author? cant remember too)

Lastly, its because u have not met a lady that is a techy, if u have met one or two, they are not always the kind of pple dt u can take out for dinner  Grin

have met so many ladies that are techys and are great, why cant you take them to dinner?
we have went to dinner, polo, club, golf and lots more,  are they any different from ordinary people?

i dont know why you have to think alot cos you are a programmer, maybe its the environment

The heavens is not going to fall down if two programmers marry each other and beign a progammer is even not as brain demanding as say being a Maths or Theoritical Physics professor

I have seen one male Maths Professor married to another female Maths professor and they don't spend the whole day solving Quasilinear Partial differential equations to the Nth order in spatial space in the house

well na u know that one oooo. we both can live that way if we choose, we can work late into the night and when the brain gets jammed, we can have a few rounds of (clears throat) to get back on track

The bottomine is that i love intelligent ladies. I love pple who can scare me to death with their thinking.

When 2 programmers marry, i believe its the best "security" they can have, cos u get to know each other inside out, code togeda, play 2geda, hang out togeda. u probably will have the same agenda daily except going to pee Cheesy

Hi, there is virtually nothing wrong in getting married to whoever that suits you and whoever you fall in love with. just make sure you "shine your eye" before marrying anybody. Marriage is not all about profession nor beauty

It would really be a bad idea for a coder to marry a coder because from experience it would be a disaster. I work for a company and we have a flat where i and three other programmers stay. last weekend we were  so busy that one of us forgot that he had a kettle on a gas cooker, by the time we realized that something was smelling in the flat; Low and behold our sparkling kettle had be turned into an aluminum paper on the gas cooker.It was that close, the entire flat would have been in flame.

same here. But I'd say ladies like aren't many. The only lady programmers I've met are the few asians/indians in my class. I've seen many ladies register for a CS course, take 2 lectures, and just bail out.
I tell people I am a programmer(or CS student) and they just think GEEK!!
So, I'm still waiting for my programmer(or just intelligent) girl.

My room is unkempt 75% of the time - check
I eat out 75% of the time - (0.1%) My thinking time is cooking time.
I don't sleep most times before 12am and u wont find me in bed most times after 5am - check : 4am to 10am
I hate doing things that I can't automate, eg washing/ironing - Mr washing machine(check),  my clothes look ironed(without being ironed) to me, till someone tells me otherwise
Whenever I am coding I go into "offline" mode(i.e I am physically there, my mind is somewhere else)
People who meets me in the office always thinks I am an asshole(I laugh with them one minute, I snub them the other, not that I do that on purpose, I have gone to offliine mode lol)

From my own point of view, it is not a bad idea for a programmer to marry a fellow programmer, but consider this: you spend almost the entire night
trying to fix a bug, and your spouse does same, how do you build a family then, the children are negleted just because each other are trying to meet
thier dead line for a particular project.

The parent work till late in the night paying little or no attention to them,
From my own perspective i think, due to the nature of our job, it should be best to settle for somebody whose job is less demanding than your's
for me i am thinking of a nurse,teacher sha,  at least person wey fit control her time Grin
