Men Overran a Job Fair for Women in Tech
The Grace Hopper Celebration is meant to unite women in tech. This year droves of men came looking for jobs.
"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

The article says that it was an event for women and “non-binary” people. Non-binary literally means that you can be whatever the fvck you want…whenever you want. I hope someone files a human rights complaint against those bigoted binary feminists trying to keep non-binary folks from getting jobs.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

I have never groped a woman that I wasn't in a relationship with or didn't pay for.

The reason why more women aren't in tech is because most women are not interested in it.
Same reason more men aren't secretaries/administrative assistants or nurses.
That's the problem with trying to assume all jobs should be 50/50 men/women. It doesn't take into account thr nature of the job which inherently is going to lean, sometimes very strongly, towards one gender or the other and has NOTHING to do with discrimination or not hiring men/women into it.
There simply aren't many men/women interested in those jobs that lean towards the other gender. It's common sense but people don't want to accept that answer even tho it is the truth and want to go looking for something else.
