It's interesting you introduced the word "sexual". There may be more to this conversation than I'm aware of, but she seemed to mention only dating and getting together, both of which can occur without any sex (at least to begin with).

Thank you for pointing that out, Alicorn. I want to become more tactful. Allow me to revise:

"I am very surprised to learn that Katja does not get sufficient offers to go out on dates from nerds who want to improve the world."

ADDED. I misinterpreted Katja's words in the original, top-level submission. Katja, in fact, gets plenty of attention from male nerds with world-saving ambition, but somehow I latched onto one particular interpretation of Katja's words and did not let go till Katja corrected me.
