Pmann’s Reasons Why Women Won’t Talk To Me (You) Thread

[Strixaluco]

Her

Well in that case it at least doesn't hinder her from finding a spouse. Plenty of exercise with guys.

Except some men are afraid of clever engineering women. I've learned not to tell my profession and level of education when I go dancing. I may answer vaguely even when asked. (Depends on the one asking of course.) Then again... those afraid aren't worth it anyway, at least not as spouse candidates!

I’m in electrical engineering and it’s not even close. Civil and environmental engineering tend to be the most female friendly engineering fields out there. Go to electrical, mechanical or, god forbid, software engineering and you’ll just be excited if they have ever even met a girl.

I'm the first (and only) female on my team of 50 engineers.

Oh, I do miss my having a thread due to setting a tone. It is so hard to find a thread now. I am a simple gal, but it does go back to reading the room. Artsy too artsy, sexy women too saccharin and reserved, the dozen get naked by dudes thread too get naked by dudes. I'll tolerate titty Tuesday as eh fine, but then what about if I want to flash my tits another day. Now back to reading the tone of threads and trying to find one that is close enough. screw it. I'll spam people randomness. the struggle is real.

very true, especially in younger years, reading is very necessary. So yes I accept not all can as well as others, give latitude, and try to just take things as the best way possible.

Your threads are missed. The banter combined with your sexiness and occasional raunch was a highlight of my day. Hope to see a comeback.

I think we can agree that while gains have been made in having more women in STEM fields, it is spotty and insufficient. We are not exactly on track for equity in educational access, cultural norm adjustment or pay.
I seriously expected more gains in my lifetime.

They're happening. The investments made in the turn of the century mean that the ratios of current STEM grads are equalizing. It takes a decade or two for measureable results in education initiatives.

For what it’s worth, I don’t think getting a degree in a STEM field is gonna get girls to talk to you.

.... Girls...

So... "Girls" does not like STEM... Oh.. who should have known

I bet they are terrified of you, cos pussy

Bahaha
They're confused

I'm also the only one who is married, has kids, etc. They cannot compute my life.

I adore my team. They're such nerds.

I went to a mostly engineering and mining school that was 70% male. They were pouring millions into trying to get women into STEM fields when I was there over 20 years ago and it wasn't really working.

For what it’s worth, I don’t think getting a degree in a STEM field is gonna get girls to talk to you.

You're not going to meet any women that way. Half the women at my college spoke no English whatsoever. Some disputed the obvious downside of this, but communication is very important to me.

There’s a strong drive towards women adopting a nerd now

supposedly they make better partners, and they research and practice everything till they get it right

we all like a thorough man

 

[Justadesperatewifeandmom]

Systems Engineer and still the lone female in my local and remote teams as well separate but similar teams. There is not much turn over, so I am not seeing any changes of the next generation yet. It will be interesting as years go by. What I find amusing about my teammates is the have expressed concern about possible hypothetical female additions....to me. They do fear working with this idea they have in their head of a woman, but I am excluded. Occasionally workplace banter will include personal discussion where they will try to understand why a woman or women do something at which point I get elected to speak for women kind, as I "am kind of a woman." It seems what they actually fear is social interaction with the concept woman. Weird little geeks.

Like as a pet?
Indeed.
I’ve been thinking about opening a nerd rescue facility…

Speak for yourself! I love chatting with engineers and other smart people.

Confused and nerdy are appropriate descriptions. Often socially awkward as well. I love my team for all those reasons.

See? That was just an example to show the sexism that exists in the industry. It was a very clever lesson and was totally not me being a misogynist.

And I, of course, am the exception to all this nerdy engineer stuff. I’m not a typical engineer. My belt matches my shoes. I don’t play video games.

I mean, I have never even seen Star Wars.

Oh typical, I've also been excluded from women at times... I especially remember the case when my BOSS complained to me about the women of the office.... So what am I then?

Usually it is not about misogyny. That's the important part to realise - the vast majority of people keeping sexism alive are not misogynist and usually don't even realise they do it.

They did a test in Sweden. Childcare specialists who swore they treated girls and boys the same, did nothing of the sort. They didn't realise before seeing themselves on video.

You nerd in your own way…long finger nails, chronic masturbatory habits, etc.

But no Star Wars?!

I mean, I don't think you're wrong.

That's kinda how I learned what I have. Once I started having sex, I tried to learn everything I could to be a better lover. Not that I get to apply it much, haha, but my wife has joked I have a near-autistic drive learn about things when I enjoy them.

I was just kidding. I am totally not a misogynist. (Saying that doesn’t sound convincing at all)

It was an assumption made on the number of women I see in the field. If someone tells me their kid is an electrical engineer, I would assume it’s a guy. If someone tells me civil engineer, I assume it’s a girl. I know way more female civil engineers than male, but the opposite is true of electrical.

First off, the fingernails are for guitar. Secondly, the masturbation is out of habit.

But yes… No Star Wars, to the dismay of some here.

But that kind of assumptions, when spoken out o acted upon, are also partly keeping it going.
