Year 2000: Tech Guys Were Inept at Dating & Silicon Valley Was a Sausage Fest

Mark Cuban didn't find an LTR until he was nearly 40 years old and I don't think a lot of it was by choice. Cuban is 64 now. He was able to meet a woman at the gym was he was 39 and she was 25. Billions of dollars can make you a better cold approacher at the gym. Also, there were fewer earbuds at the gym in 1997.

Back in 2000, a few big time tech executive males ended up dipping their pens in the company ink and marrying women in their company's PR/Marketing departments.

The wild thing is that these guys were borderline incel as Boomers and early Gen X'ers, who had better social skills than Millennials who followed them.

What do you mean "was", it still is a sausage fest. A lot of places are sausage fests with insane ratios of men to women like 5:1.

The weird thing is you will never find a place where women significantly outnumber men.

In the year 2000, Silicon Valley was a sausage fest. In 2022, it is still a sausage fest. That's a correct assessment.

In high school Cuban couldn't get a date to the prom--he had to be set up by a family friend.

It's OVER for PreBillionaireCels.
