Tell him "Men are better than women at being insensitive assholes." and see what he says.

Sounds like he's your ex for a reason. Why would you even bother still talking to someone like that?

Furthermore, if anything I've found the complete opposite to be true.

My lover has a higher average than me in linear algebra

SShhhh!! You weren't supposed to tell!

/sigh, that was our secret...

EDIT: But seriously, Lusikka, that's the completely opposite of what I've found as well. We have a few female programmers at work and they are WAY better at math than I ever was or will be.

well statistics show that naturally males are better at things like math, science, history, etc. and females are statistically better at reading, writing... BUT! personally i believe that female programmers are attractive and awesome!! lol because... its kewllllie... i dont know... lol but anyways!
these statistics are GENERALLY (NOT always, obviously) true...

Sounds like an amazing programmer to me.

(see my signature).

Lusikka, having stated all of the above (the latter part at least), how can you POSSIBLY consider him a better programmer? I'm mind boggled.

you've got yourself out there, and that's all that matters!

Gender doesn't (or at least shouldn't, but doesn't as far as I know) determine someone's proficiency in a certain field, hard work and commitment does that, and you have that in buckets lusikka (theres a lot of tangible evidence)

Everyone on this forum, is breaking taboos and stereotypes, we're not a bunch of textbook nerds who spend all day in their rooms,talking about things we might do if we had the skills, but instead sitting on our arses, playing MMO's, then calling ourselves "l337 Hax0rs" because we can change our screensavers.

we're all, in some way, tech heads, who want to get ourselves out there, and gain a better understanding of our people. Gender nor race nor appearance shouldn't come into this argument, only intelligence and perseverance, as these are the two (I believe) prerequisites to becoming a competent programmer!

Tell that to Brandon

rofl.

Thanks you guys.


Shit, I just remembered that he owes me $100, so I guess I HAVE to talk to him again.
(Actually, half the Wii is still mine so he owes me more like $250)
But he's currently working as a dishwasher so he probably won't pay that back any time soon. >_>

OMG ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!! Agreed, go for it lusikka! "I can just see you hitting brandon with a glass of orange juice yelling "Where's my money!?!?!"

UR EX IS RIGHT MEN ARE BETTER AT PROGRAMMING THAN WOMAN THEY SUCK AT IT LOLOLOL
CRUISE CONTROL off

But seriously... I've found that most women are smarter than men to be honest with you...
Now, I'm defiantly a better programmer than my girlfriend (she doesn't know anything lol) but overall between men and women, it's most likely equal.

If I was you... I'd punch him in the balls lol...
Alright maybe not but... you get the idea...
