Writing code and dating

I can point out some disvantages:

"Writing code..."
1. Doesn't have tits.
2. Can't give you a bjob.
3. Can be fucked but you won't take pleasure out of it.

Well, this was aimed more at those who haven't reached your level of exploits, owl. a.k.a. the socially inept, like myself.

What would you do if it did? [grin]

My favourite way of dealing with my girlfriend problems is talking with my girl friends.

1. It doesn't talk back or say nasty things to or about you... it does say some nasty below-the-belt stuff about your skills.

2. When used properly it increases rather than decreases your bank account... but then again you could pimp your girl.

3. It doesn't dump you... it dumps cores instead.

4. It's loyal and always there for you... unless it meets a faulty hard drive.

5. It is based upon fundamental properties, called rules, while relationships are based upon luck, physical appearance, and luck... unless you're a C programmer, at which point you get undefined behaviour for breakfast.

6. Since computer languages are designed to eliminate ambiguity, it cannot be misinterpreted... however, computer languages are not designed to eliminate ambiguity.

7. It tells you when you mess up in short, quick, and brutal terms (as opposed to not at all)... so does your girl, but she does so after only six months.

8. It doesn't laugh at you... it makes you cry.

9. Code doesn't require food, flowers, or candy... and your male firstborn if you're using COBOL.

10. Many online tutorials are free... but not disease-free.

11. What you can't find in tutorials can be asked in online forums... such as A.S.F.

12. Getting started is easy and can be free depending upon the language you use... for instance, French always has great romantic success, poupée.

13. You can get a job with the skills you learn... because nobody ever wants to be a gigolo.

14. It doesn't even require you to leave your dorm room... or your girlfriend's.

15. It makes you love everyday things like cold pizza and soda... while a girlfriend makes you love every day.

16. Code doesn't just stop talking to you or block you on AIM... it actually never talks to you at all.

17. It doesn't call or text you in the middle of class... although you might skip class because of it.

18. It makes people wonder what you spend those endless nights on your computer doing... whereas nobody wonders why you haven't been sleeping, although you were in your bed all night.

19. Knowing code makes you look smart(er than you are)... to other deluded hackers.

20. Progress can be determined almost instantaneously by a simple click (compile), then click (run)... especially when using emacs/g++

21. Programs (usually) impress people... when they die in colourful ways.

22. It teaches you how to type, really well... in uppercase, and separate words with underscores.

23. You learn all the funky symbols on your keyboard (!%^*()-=_+{}/?,<.>~)... because you'd never use punctuation or smileys in a mail or IM program otherwise.

24. It gives you something to do when you can't find a date on Friday, or Saturday... when you should be looking for a date.

25. Comments give you a place to express your jokes that no real person would laugh about (except you)... which is a pretty sad thing indeed.

26. It gives you an application for your physics and vector geometry classes... whereas sex lets you master such physical concepts as thrust and friction. And let's not forget anatomy.

Speak for your own code, mister.

PICTAR!

my refutation:

1.) code is not soft and squishy
2.) there is no need for a two.

all i know is I don't want to find bugs in either of them...
