I feel that your comment goes a bit far in making an assumption that being attractive is somehow a full time job
It wasn't an assumption; it was her perspective based on her experience. She didn't claim it was universal.
I also love maintaining an active lifestyle.
That's nice, but I'm not sure how it relates to anything discussed here.
You write that you gave up on trying to look pretty and instead (which is the word to which I take offense) work on being valued for your intelligence. To me, these two ideas are not mutually exclusive.
She said, "It wouldn't leave much room for the hard intellectual yakka of actually doing programming." Again, it's her experience and her perspective.
