So this is networking...was at a networking event (in SF). There were about 90 men and 10 women. One old guy and two younger guys approached me; that's it. As for the other ladies? Maybe they talked to some of the guys, but when I took a look, they were sitting by themselves, talking with each other, and standing by themselves
I guess one side of the argument could be, none of the 90 guys were interested in meeting women and/or off the dating market. However, it was a networking event. Maybe one of these women was a CEO for a big company, a recruiter for a startup, a top attorney, etc? So, why not mingle with the opposite sex?
It seems to me the sexes are drifting apart. I don't know why but gay relationships are on the rise at the expense of heterosexual ones. Too bad
ReplyDeleteI think people these days are more and more insecure, as well as worried about making the 'wrong impression'. As a result, this makes people less inclined to socialise and network/meet new people. But that's a theory...
ReplyDeleteInteresting, if that's the case, that would mean it's not just SF that's filled with really insecure people
DeleteI blame online dating. It's easier to get rejected online than in-person, so a lot of available people don't make an effort in person.
ReplyDeleteI didn't think of that! I've been focusing on SF vs the rest of the country/world
DeleteIt's why guys go to bars to hook up, not meet their future wife. They can do that on Match or OkCupid!
DeleteI feel like guys in SF are more academically/startup driven and don't care very much about finding a nice girl, the white picket fence, etc (at least not until they are well into their 40s)
DeleteIt's Peter Pan land to the extreme.
