I'm all for more women in engineering and technology, but
as I said to a customer recently,"I don't think I have
ever hear a female say,"I reballed the faulty nvida chip
with artic 5 in the a with a hair dryer at 3 a.m., didn't work and I spent the next 40 hrs. trying to fix it!".
Actually, I'm kind of glad most women aren't interested
in the stuff I'm interested in. As to power and money, most
guy's-- if their honest became rich because they knew it attracted women? Of yea, a rich father always helps. The sad part is it all works in reverse for wealthy women. Wealthy women scare off most guys. I have a very good looking ex-girlfriend, blond, wealthy, etc. move to Silicon
Valley hoping to lasso some guy--she is still single. I truly believe men are intimidated by her position in life.
In all honesty--I was extremely attracted to her, but
wanted someone with different values--yes--children, introspective--a Zooey, or Fran, but there's a part of me
who wondered if she was struggling would I look at her differently? I look at the personal ads and almost 100%
of the time the ad I want to say "It all works in reverse."
Meaning what's desirable for women is not desirable for men.
I hope this changes in the future.
