How many bloggers is too many?
While we're on the topic of relationships... I asked my housemate Sock Hui, who works in IT support & development, whether she would consider being together with a guy who isn't IT-savvy. I mean, what if he's one of those people who never checks email (gasp! But such people do exist, hard as it may be to believe), doesn't care to find out how to use instant messaging programmes, and has no idea what an OS is, not to mention is unaware that there are alternatives to IE? Am I speaking Greek to you? *grin*
I never thought about it before, but incidents with certain people recently made me wonder. I'm no geek, if anything I only know enough to be dangerous -- heheh -- but still, it is a bit unnerving to realise that some people honestly have no idea when it comes to this kinda stuff. It's almost like we live on different planets!
Sock Hui said it wouldn't matter in a relationship, but I said, this is your work, a huge part of your life. Wouldn't you be frustrated that the guy doesn't even have a basic understanding of what you're doing? I mean, like if a guy I was seeing were to shake his head and say, "I don't get it. Why do you have to blog? What's so great about blogging?" I don't know what I would do!
Then again, it's to be hoped I would have the good taste not to go out with someone who's closed-minded ;)
I've also wondered about what it would be like to have a partner who blogs as well as opposed to someone who doesn't. In a way if he blogs it will be fun to get a "his n' hers" sort of view. And it always warms the cockles of my heart to read men unashamed to write openly of how much they treasure their partners or children. But then maybe one blogger in the relationship is enough?
