>It's all attraction in general. Like attracts like. Hackers tend to like other hackers.

What study did you find backing this? Actually, I have already read and heard the contrary, for exemple here is what one of the numerous articles on this subject[0] says:

>Heterosexual men and women with dissimilar genes are more likely to get married than people with a similar genetic heritage.

So it seems, on the contrary, that people genetically tend to want to live with people different from them. Except when they have a psychological aversion to them, in which case I believe we call that "xenophobia", which is usually synonym with "racism".
