Since the author is new to being a man, here's some advice:
The reason the girl in the computer lab asked you wasn't because she thought you had any exceptional skill, or that none of the women in the lab could help. You were judged the only one supceptible to her charms.
They will either act cute/helpless, sexy/flirty, or they'll issue a challenge ("are you good at this? Do you know how to help with this?").
- starpilot 16y agoThat's pretty much what the author describes, actually.
- nandemo 16y agoHe mentions the flirty instance but seems to be pretty oblivious to the phenomenon described by johngalt: >She has every confidence that I, the only male in the room, can solve her printer problem. (...) I am still the same person inside, with the same skills and abilities as before, but society’s expectations have dramatically changed based on my new gender.
