- pugworthy 5y agoYes as long as SS couples keep it secret. Anonymous surveys are a great way to say that you have a "committed partner" without going into details.
- nayaketo 5y agoEven with people keeping their relationships secret, I doubt SS numbers are that high in the software industry.
- Gigachad 5y agoI would suggest that in a field that is mostly male, including same sex couples changes the results disproportionately compared to more mixed industries.
- fshbbdssbbgdd 5y agoJudging from my social group, the gay male software engineers are more likely to be married than the straight ones (and I don’t think I could say that about any other profession), and also more likely to be married to another engineer. If I’m right about that, and the effect is strong enough, it could affect the numbers.
- mostertoaster 5y agoIn my social group nearly all of the software developers I know are married to stay at home moms (self included). So it probably is just your social group. You live in Seattle or the Bay Area perhaps?
- ausbah 5y agois there? are the rates of queer people reddit in tech that much higher than other fields?
- thaumasiotes 5y agoAre the rates of failure to marry that much higher?

- etripe 5y agoInteresting. Too bad it doesn't also provide specifics on bisexuals or the gender axis.
