"Lots of single women I talk to who haven't found anyone yet say the quality really drops off -- and they cite immaturity of the man as the reason. Past the mid 30s, you either get the permanent single guys hopping from one club to another on the weekend or the unmarryable."

Send the ladies to me...

I should be viable alternative for most women, but I have never encountered an attractive woman who does not suddenly find a partner somewhere , just after she met me. Some girls even dump their boyfriends and find a new one that I've never heard of, while dating me....
I have no idea what it is about me that makes women suddenly fall in love with just about anyone except me, but the statistics are insane.

You might think I'm boring, stupid or unhealthy but I'm clever, quite funny, well educated (there are companies who could hire special troops to kidnap me within 48 hours if they knew about my skill and knowledge), sporty and....unfortunately, disliked for reasons I don't really know. Anyway, I'm just above 30 (although most people think I'm still in my twenties) and I am lost in a strange world where everyone else seems to get a nice career, a girlfriend/wife and a pleasant future.

Maybe my problem is more common than I think?

Go fetch your Amiga and build the converter required (?) to show off your demo at the huge TV set...

Make sure that you can analyze the software properly and break it down to well defined functions/modules/whatever-your-abstraction-is

Implement hardware modules for corresponding inputs/outputs but make sure that you do not use an automatic tool. For hardware, you can often
do things very differently since you have different ways to implement things and may use state machines, memories and logic in different ways.

For each module, check hardware and software implementation against each other using CBMC or some other software which can actually verify that your implementation is, if not correct, at least equally bad as the implementation in the other domain.
