I'm kind of autistic and don't much care for people or music or art, but I love romantic stories [1]. I guess the tiny mating part of my brain survived being crowded out by electronics.
That makes sense evolutionarily. If engineers weren't romantic, they would be selected out of the population and everybody would be artists.
There must be a reason that some women, generally great women, like enginers but I haven't figured out why.
