Speaking for myself, I voted this off-topic because it’s in some sense a canary for whether the culture tag is meant to be useful at all. The article here is both one-sided and unimportant; it expresses what are, no doubt, somebody’s valid feelings, but they’re meaningful only to her.
To wit - I tend to agree with the author that engineers can be boring to date, except as compared to football players, but the only possible relevance of this to anyone but her would be if it were a part of the class warfare, monoculture, privacy, or other issues where the industry should be striving for self-awareness. If the article were transposed, and it were saying that, say, salespeople (to pick the first non-technical traditionally-middle-class job I can think of) are boring romantically… Well, I somehow doubt that trade publications for marketing would be interested in it.
Just explaining my position, since I feel I should after down-voting.

I find this comment bigoted and offensive. Would you say the same about blacks changing your neighborhoods? Hispanics?
