This article is of particular interest to me. I spend a good deal of my time as a young single guy immersed in technology and hacker culture. However, when I'm around women or trying to meet women, I instinctively will only discuss generalities as in "I write web applications" and leave it at that unless they are adamant about finding out more, which very rarely occurs. I'm not necessarily saying this is a bad thing but at the end of the day it does feel kind of bad to feel the need to push a pretty big part of your personality off into the corner because a majority of the women you'll meet don't care and will get annoyed if they have to hear about it. Nothing feels worse than telling a story and watching your audience dart their eyes, grow bored and try to think of ways to feign interest.
