    I wouldn't say that linux, or any OS in general are "synonymous with anti-sex... While it's fun to continually portray this type of behavior (hence the necessity for 250 does not apply to digg users jokes for every front page story featuring women or sex) --- I live in a far different reality. Having been in the industry for over 13 years now I've seen my fair share of super nerds that don't get a bunch of play, but there are plenty of those working at home depot and waffle house too. The overwhelming majority of folks I've met in the IT field are bright and interesting folks that have reasonable, if not "better than average" quality of life including relationships, marriage or otherwise.
    Sure, it's fun to play the uber-geeks don't get any play card but the reality is far from the (self perpetuated) perception.

    Using Linux, and not some common OS can be impressive. Impressive can be a means to having sex.

    All you have to do is get into her Konsole.

    I'm married to a Linux Guru and I think it's sexy. Although, he does totally fit the stereotype of a guy who has no idea how to talk to girls.

    A lot of girls are into geeks, but the geeks usually have no idea.
  • junwah nutle · 1 year ago
    It is not that anything related to Linux is anti-sex, it is that being associated with Linux is "anti-sex with anybody else other than yourself with a lot of porn torrents and free internet port viewed through open source tools". I'm spent.
  • LadyVader · 1 year ago
    Yeah, calinazaret is right. I've been with my Linux-user boyfriend for almost a year now. And I loved that he was a geek, it just took him awhile to notice, lol.
  • Jimmy Dean · 1 year ago

  • crazyguy444 · 1 year ago
    what an erotic article, *sarcasm*. I'm a linux user , but whoever wrote this article is a loser and never got laid. Being a plaboy and a ultra linux geek don't mix.
  • crazyguy444 · 1 year ago
    Unless all linux users look like this http://www.chinesenewear.com/maldivepunkfan/wp-...

    Then I can understand where the author is coming from, but that's clearly not the case.
  • FireGuyX · 1 year ago
    Question to Rami Taibah, have you ever gotten laid? If you have then you answered your own topic. But judging from your article, you probably haven't
  • linsux · 1 year ago
    Why do Linux neckbeards always feel the need to prove that they have sex lives? If you had one you wouldn't be on the net trying to convince us that you do.
  • Rami Taibah · 1 year ago
    @Crazyguy444 and FireGuyX: Guys chill out, it's categorized under humor ffs! The first picture of the guy on the car inspired this whole blog, I was thinking of him when I wrote all this...
  • buckykat · 1 year ago
    okay, this post is running with this conjecture: the posts here claiming to be written by females are actually written by females. two tips to them: linux geeks are bad at taking a hint, and we speak in a strange manner
  • Yonah · 1 year ago
    Linux users are most often assholes, but not the kind that ladies are normally attracted to. Many of them are too self centered and egotistical to even care about sex in the first place, viewing it as something for people who can't control their urges. Looking down on people becomes part of their lifestyle, so they reap what the sow in the end.
  • fijfeif · 1 year ago
    I never before heard this- user of 12 years. I guess those non-Linux users not having sex are just jealous.
  • Tracy Reed · 1 year ago
    I've been a Linux geek for 15 years and I've gotten more than my fare share of whatever I wanted. Now I'm getting married. She's smokin' hot, very smart, a lot of fun, and she is right next to me as I type this using her Linux laptop running pidgin to IM with her friends.

    Here's a link to some pics of her on my personal website:

    And here's her flickr account:

    You want to know how I met her? Because of Linux. Linux got me a great job which took me to cool places where I met cool people, including her.

    Now Linux pays for the cars I drive, the planes I fly, and the house I live in.

    Linux is da bomb.

    And yes, I have a Linux bumper sticker on my car. One of the same ones the guy above has (second from the right in blue-green letters).

    So anyone who says Linux guys don't get laid are crazy.
