So many words to say the simple truth, women are not interested in technology and don't want to work at those jobs.

Also, the immigrants got perfectly good social skills, the only problem is that American women, especially from the left side of the political map, are racist. Men don't really care and will date anyone, conservative women usually grow up in lower socio economic parts of the country and are less judgmental. But good luck finding a white lefty woman to date if you are Indian or Asian. Not saying it never happens, but it is pretty rare.



I think your reading too much into what I said.

I was saying immigrant friendly to denote that the industry imports a lot of people, more than a less immigrant friendly industry, say hollywood. It creates a constant inflow of new single people more than other industries.

Us software people in general have bad social skills on average compared to say, hollywood or fashion people.

And I brought up how other industries that are more gender skewed in the other direction create an imbalance in the other way on the dating market. It wasn't passing judgement about the why of the gender skew.

My focus was about explaining the simple supply/demand math that causes issues on the west coast.
