I'm a male software engineer and I'm marrying a male software engineer, that may account for some the data too.

  Congrats! That's what i thought as well, from anecdata it seems to me the overwhelming majority of females and gay males in software development or IT live with males or females from the same industry. I wonder if one day the industry is more evenly distributed if we'd see a similar percentage as for lawyers.

  Maybe most straight male software engineers never get married?

    (M)y SO is a female QA engineer. I dont know why but there is a lot of girl there. On the SWE side we really need to alter the industry to improve diversity.

      Of course there are, someone needs to be there to nag about being no good and constantly correcting people. ;)

  A bit off-topic, but I'm wondering if the homosexual dating pool among software developers is bigger than the heterosexual dating pool. edit just to clarify, for men. Dating pool for homosexual/heterosexual men.

    Not everybody develops in Javascript on a Mac.

      I've been on HN for almost 10 years, and from what I've read I'm pretty sure they do actually.
