Women do not often find themselves studying computer science.  Plenty of reasons contribute to the lack of the female gender in these programs including a inadequate social structure for women.  Professionals and teachers are rarely female, and there is little female peers.  There are, however, plenty of men to fill the dating pool of single females, but, in the words of a female computer scientist, "The Odds are good, but the Goods are odd." A significant effort is being made to change this with female-centered clubs and events for women. I feel that this underlying social structure will be the key to attracting more women into the field of computer science.

  2. Dude... we're definitely not promoting our club in order to fill your dating pool :)
    We are trying to create a supportive community though so dead on there.
