Girl in IT here, we exist in small numbers.
I say I miss girls as well or better yet, "girl talk". I tried to compliment my coworkers shirt and got a weird look. I was just waiting for the "Oh! I got it at such and such" No luck. :(

There is a grocery store near where I work. There are many girls there. Everyone of the cashiers knows me by name. They are all female. Except for Charles. I hate Charles. Anyway. I like to go to the grocery store for lunch. And talk to the girls. They like my muscles. None of them are very cute. It's the happiest sad part of my day.

I work in IT and my IT manager is a woman. She's probably one of the smartest IT professionals I know. Also I went to school with 3 girls who all got their Bachelors degree in IT.

Try landing an IT job at a web startup. They'll all be several thousand miles out of your league, which will be turbo-depressing, but at least they'll be around :D

Night gathers, and now my shift begins. It shall not end until at least tomorrow. I shall take no girlfriend, hold no respect, father no children. I shall wear no suits and win no glory. I shall live and die at my desk. I am the monitor in the darkness. I am the creeper in the halls. I am the fire that burns against the cold, the light that brings the dawn, have the porn that wakes the sleepers, and the shield that guards the series of tubes. I pledge my life and honor to the Night's Watch, for this night and all the nights to come.

As an IT girl, it's difficult to find a date because I work with all the cute nerdy boys I know! I definitely can't date a coworker.

See bro? They wouldn't date YOU even if they worked with you, not even if they thought you were cute.
I made myself sad.

My husband and I are both in the IT field, but we didn't meet there. We met when we were 19 both working at Walmart. Most of my friends are "hotties" and go for the guys that are with in that circle, beach hoppin, beer drinkin, strip club jumpin, hair gel spiken, spray tan wearin, steroid taken, guys. They complain they cant find a good man but that description of the kind of guys they date, is the same list I used on guys to reject and avoid like the plague. I LOVE my IT knowin, comic book readin, mmorpg playin, action figure havin, internet surfin nerd. I feel like I have discovered one of the greatest untapped resources for woman, my husband can actually finish a thought without getting side tracked by baseball, his conversation actually teaches me interesting things like Greek Mythology and different cultures, he actually taught me enough in 4 days to land me a job in IT, and he is content to stay at home and just play computer games with me or play with our children, and has never made question his faithfulness. I couldn't imagine a more manly man then he is.

Girls think smart guys are sexy.
I hear this sentiment a lot, and it may be true in general, but in any situation where I've both helped a girl in an IT capacity (it's not my job, but I seem to get roped into it a lot) and also been aware of the girl being attracted to me...They were never in the same situation.
Which is to say: I have had girls who I've helped with IT show attraction towards me, but never in the same situation where I was displaying my technical competence.
I feel as though "intelligent" is a good on-paper quality for a basis of attraction, but it doesn't quite translate into being attractive when doing things requiring intelligence in the same way physical fitness translates into being attractive when doing things requiring physical fitness.
Maybe I'm wrong, or maybe I'm particularly unsexy when working with a computer (et al.), or maybe I just know the wrong girls, but that's been my experience.
