The best relationship I ever had was with a woman who also was getting her
degree in CS. We certainly had much in common. Luckily, she had many
other redeeming qualities to offset this. Her previous background had
been in very different areas and I was able to learn many things from
her. Much of the time, our different approaches complemented each other.
It certainly was nice to have someone who understood much of what I was
enthusiastic about and who had her own insights to offer me. It seems that
she is becoming as much of a "hacker" (I use the term as a compliment),
as I am. She is undoubtedly reading this because reading these newsgroups
can be addictive to people like ourselves. 

I really would rather find someone like that again. The problem is that
there are not that many women in the field, yet. Moving to NJ from WI
also does not help maintain any contacts. Many of the people I have been
meeting, seem rather shallow when it comes to some of the important
things in life. It is frustrating to have to explain every third word
and concept to them (often recursively) before they can comprehend what
you do for a living. Anyway, I vote for more women in the CS field. In
case anyone is still tabulating ages, I am 27.
