I hope things improve for you . Out of interest, at what point would a guy in Iran think about getting married? (I always seem to be asking you questions... )
Iran is a traditional country , so many people think they HAVE TO marriy because of what religion and tradition say and also because they shouldn't be alone for all of their life, but in developed part of country age of marriage get higher because of bad economical condition. Also again in developed parts , hemosexualy increased(because of many reasons) and marriage become less again(Marriage does not mean same sex mariage here). I myself one of people who belive in marriage and think everybody have a person which suite him/her in this world which should/can live with him/her all of his/her life.

 Excellent philosophy!
As an aside, I've just noticed we share a birthday, although you seem to have survived 6 less of them than I have

By social life i mean spendig time with my family and friends. Having diner at a nice restaurant with a good wine and a few friends, or going to cinema or theatre, someones birthday, stuff like that.
I don't think my social life is diferent from any of my friends who are not developers, or even involved with IT.

Like Paul Watson, my social life might not fit the norm. I have a lot of special-interest friends/groups: CP people, gym friends, work friends, old friends from college who are flung across the country, etc. I don't, however, have a lot of general-purpose hanging-out friends, so while my weekdays are generally pretty packed, I don't always do much on the weekends.

Is it true that when people speak of "having a life", they generally refer to fast cars, good looking girls, cash...?

B'coz i fit and live as geek!.
Nothing in my life except for compo's.

programming and testing. Anyway my only

Yo fit into the geek's world. What is so bad about it?

Get over this stereotyping about this geek=="cool" or "not cool". Just because we're technically competent doesn't mean we have to be socially/verbally/asthetically chanlleged to remain a "geek".

My Social Life (in the typical sense) is mostly poor now, but I intend to improve on it, and in 3 years or so hope to have an excellent social life.

p.s. Also helps that I am not really a geek - not half as much as the active CPians anyway. I consider myself to be a non-geek coder

Because the few odd occasions when I've been to parties or public gatherings, I've felt that I wasn't enjoying it enough because I felt awkward and shy and couldn't really keep up with everyone else. Maybe if I do that sort of stuff more often, I won't be the shy silent odd one out every single time

Fair enough, so long as you don't let it make you feel inadequate. Being a social butterfly doesn't make others better than you.

Shyness is crippling; no one knows better than I. But being the life of the party is a shallow existence, at best. Somewhere in between is optimal.
Some people think of it as a six-pack; I consider it more of a support group.

That is why i stay away from places that activate my shyness. The only thing i can do, is smile until my jaw bones get stucked.

Me? Me a farmer/software-engineer and lives in a little hut beside a beautiful mountain full of purple flowers and a fresh water stream. In front of hut, there is a corn field. Snow in winter, rain in summer... sky is beautiful here. In day, I work in that field and in night I use my oil lamp and study books or use my Laptop to connect to net via mobile phone. I have also got an old truck. I go to the village (about 60 miles away) on truck to get fuel for my power generator and to get things to eat.
Life is amazing here...
tin tin tin... seven O' Clock... get up... otherwise will be late for office... and the dreams ends!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All days of life are same, all evenings are same; every morning find myself on same raod; same faces...
mE!

What exactly does "social life" mean?
a) meeting family and friends
b) talking to other people on the phone / via eMail
c) talking/writing to lots of people who are not really friends
d) ...
A CPian who spends one hour each day in the Lounge talks to many people from all over the world, what a bright social life!
Somebody who understands "social life" as "going out, meeting idiots" would say that the CPian had no life at all.
