Yes.

And looking back I wish I'd tried as hard as possible to get pussy.
SOOOO many stories of chicks giving it up I feel sorta ashamed I couldnt get laid. That probably wouldnt have been the easiest time and the fewest responsibilities.

I'm 48. I would be one hell of a loser if the answer was yes. Since I am not like the normal little boys around here the answer is absolutely not.

Not having a girlfriend doesn't make you a loser. I know lots of players that have never had a girlfriend.

Hell no...I already had kids running around before I started dabbling with computers.
Then again, I have grandchildren who are almost as old as many members here...

No, they hadnt even come up with commodore 64 yet, at that point my 3rd girlfriend began to realize the way it would steal time from her. But at that time, sex was still priority 1.

I was banging chicks in high school when most of you were still in diapers...or not even born yet. I didn't start building my own computers until I was in my 30s.

nope. built my first computer in undergrad. picked up the hobby from a friend down the hall in my dorm whose computer was faster than mine on benchmarks and cost less because he built his. i had a pretty top-of-the-line computer from dell. he taught me and showed me the ropes, etc.

I've built 'gf's before computers. I did tons of experimenting with 'fleshlight' like devices way before they came along. One of the most memorable was made out of a beer coolie and two cassette tapes... as for a real gf... only if 5 grade, for like 2 days... none since... 31 now.

Yep I did, and my second, third, and my first, second server etc...

In fact I still don't have a girlfriend, and I could not care less TBH. Maybe eventually the urge will come, but I'm happy single. Not to mention I can't really afford one right now. They're expensive to maintain compared to computers. :p

If I did have one she'd probably get mad at me for spending so much time coding or doing home improvement projects... no wait, she'd want me to stop coding so I can do home improvement projects that I can't afford!

Actually I've gone out with girls and stuff, but it was nothing serious. My first date was at Tim Horton's. FTW!
