uh, no. very attractive women don't have kids with the legions of dorks that give them unearned help throughout their life. in any industry.
women aren't stupid. they're actually very smart.
- dopamean 13y agoYou're ruining the dream bud.
- Amadou 13y agoYour assumption does not follow from what I wrote, in fact it is practically the reverse since my point was that any industry is vulnerable. It isn't just "dorks" who give even marginally attractive women special treatment - there are very few categories of men who don't (primarily gay men). Try this experiment out in real life - any time you see a man helping a female stranger with anything consider if he would do the same for a male stranger. The number of times a straight guy will go out of his way for another man who isn't a friend is practically zero. women aren't stupid. they're actually very smart. The idea that women deliberately take advantage of "dorks" sounds vaguely bitter and misogynistic.
- beachstartup 13y ago> there are very few categories of men who don't. yeah, exactly. those are the guys who are getting with the attractive women. specifically, high value men who don't give handouts. also, dorks isn't exclusive to IT. every industry has dorks.
- gaius 13y agoOh, you're a "PUA". Good luck with that.
- beachstartup 13y agoi'm not really sure what you're referring to, but i'm talking about pretty basic human psychology.

- kbenson 13y agoI would hardly call not falling over yourself to help a pretty member of the opposite sex purely because of their attractiveness the same as the targeted psychological games pick up artists use. One is manipulation, the other is having some self respect.
- a3n 13y ago> The idea that women deliberately take advantage of "dorks" sounds vaguely bitter and misogynistic. And human. It happens enough that it's a (probably undeserved) stereotype. People are no damn good, regardless of gender. Or at least, enough of them are no good to give a bad name to the rest of us. We suck.
- gaius 13y agoWomen are people. Some are very smart, some are stupid, in the same proportions as men. For every male IT worker who's been duped by an attractive women, there's a female secretary who thinks her boss is really going to leave his wife for her.
- beachstartup 13y agoi agree - men thinking a commitment/favor/gifts will get them sex is about as stupid as women thinking sex will get them a commitment/favor/gifts. anyone who's ever been in an adult relationship could tell you as much.
- MrBuddyCasino 13y ago> stupid as women thinking sex will get them a commitment/favor/gifts You can't be serious? This happens a lot, I can't imagine how one cannot see it.
- xerophtye 13y agoI believe this was in reference to the girls duped by guys into giving up sex. Where girls think that now that they have had sex, they are bound together. Like that comment about the secretary hoping for the boss to leave his wife
- ye 13y ago> in the same proportions as men Women are actually smarter than men on average, or so IQ tests tell us.
- icecreampain 13y agoThat must explain why men are outnumbered in science and business, right?
- rglullis 13y agoLooks like someone need a lesson about standard deviations before making snarky comments.
