Well, yes. It's not that hacking in and of itself is not sexy; it's that hackers and social awkwardness tend to be fairly highly correlated. That doesn't mean hackers, as a categorical rule, must be scrawny and squirrely and awkward. But a lot of us are. I don't consider myself to be, nor do I fault those who are for being that way. I just think we'd be slightly naive to assume the myth of the nerdy hacker is no longer reflective of reality whatsoever.
