That girl sounds like a horrible person who will probably end up alone herself for being so damn shallow. People like that are great learning experiences on the type of person you don't want to be.

Yes programmers do have girlfriends and yes they can be distracting and by god that's a great thing to have! Moving from that point in life where you are focused on just one self orientated thing to caring about another and growing as a person is marvellous.

I constantly aim to find distractions from work, also known as having a life :)
