You're surrounded by a bunch of nerds all day. What is your experience like? Do you mostly find them unattractive? Do you seek out the few who are actually dateable because the ratio is 10-1 and you can just have your pick? Do you seek out men who aren't in tech, or are at least not engineers? I guess that I'm assuming women are not attracted to the stereotypical engineer. I'm a guy, so I have no idea, and I'm curious. I just imagine it being easy, and I'm probably wrong given that half the guys I work with are married in spite of being short, unconfident, unattractive, and kind of boring. (How??)
We don’t think of them.
So a bunch of those nerds you are talking about are women. Just sayin.
Wrong
I don't agree that here are some weird nerds. Maybe some are, but still there is just a lot of attractive, intelligent guys, who have a lot of great hobbies. Actually most of my female friends in tech who didn't find a partner in CS college found then at work in MS, Google etc
Guy here. You’ll be a far better coworker for women if you don’t think of them as hunting a spouse at work. They’ve got a tough enough time dealing with all the BS they need to overcome in the sausage fest that is tech.
Blah blah. This is not going to cause OP to change or curb their inquisitive mind about this topic. So let it be discussed without passing your judgement.
This comments seems like too much reading between the lines. The original questions seems like a genuinely curious question. I’d like us all (people from all genders and backgrounds) to be able to put forth their questions and discuss them — and not be judged by some over-zealous application of PC 100% HR-compliant policy.
We are mostly just thinking about our jobs.
I don’t think about them. I just live my life like a normal person. They’re not “a bunch of nerds” or “men in tech.” They’re just people.
Dating is for immature people. Majority of people in tech are married professionals. They have a family to support and don't think about dating much.
Couldn’t care less about your gender. We have a job to do. All I want to know is that you’ll pull your weight, we can learn something from each other or at the very least, you’re not a douche.
Aren't most tech women also nerds?
“Seek out the few who are dateable”... at work? Most people don’t shit where they eat.
Many people also have friend circles that are primarily filled with other tech workers
That’s much more true of men than women.
