Skimming through it, it does seem pretty even-handed. Although I'd like to point out that you're writing a "guide for nerds" and consistently addressing the reader as if they were a man. Women can be nerds, too. It's fair to have a guide for male nerds, since the experience is bound to be quite different for men vs. women, but it'd make sense to actually point that out.
- stared 9y agoI address it in the first part, where I clearly point that out (http://p.migdal.pl/2017/07/23/dating-for-nerds.html http://p.migdal.pl/2017/07/23/dating-for-nerds.html). First, some pieces of advice are gender-specific. Second, I don't have a living experience of a woman. For nerdy women (dating man) some problems are similar (and I got quite a lot of of positive reaction from this group; and a few requests to write a text for that setting). For nerdy women dating women, it seems that most problems are the same (see also: Emma Lindsay's blog posts).
