I think the social requirements are the same as any other computer nerds. Caffination cravings during crunch time, taste buds honed for cold pizza, disgust in pop music, hellish nightmares involving pixilized avatars and floods of ones and zeros. As far as interpersonal communication goes, that wouldn't really change at all. Heck, I'm a rock star and I date less than most computer programmers.
Too many bad memories of fetching my guitar from the pawnshop after a messy breakup and being stalked...
You can eat my cat, call my mom, set my porch on fire, just leave my Stratocaster out of it!
*plays some Yngwie Malmsteen-esque solos and lets the bad memories all slip away*
