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.
"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

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.

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

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.
