June 8 news According to foreign media (DAME) reports, the rise of technology companies led the growth of the programmer team, these people in the Internet wave of successful career, which is mostly single men. Although these IT men make more money, they are generally ignorant, boring, and arrogant. The professional habits and special preferences of programmers make it difficult for them to get along with women and develop a normal emotional life.
Tricia Romano, columnist, described his own opinion of contemporary male programmers in an article.
Tricia clinched an IT male in Seattle. He was a burly man with beard. This friend only came to Seattle in the last year. He worked for Amazon for a while and is currently working at a startup company. He rides bicycles to explore the city streets and has a good taste for food and wine. As an engineer, he brings charm to the female author.
However, disappointing Tracy, however, the man seldom actively asked her about the situation during the conversation. The two people's appointments lasted for an hour. It was not a romantic emotional exchange that gave people a feeling more like an impromptu interview for Internet work. In more than half an hour, the men were talking about their work endlessly, so that Tricia was outside the IT circle listening to the cloud. Seeing a date was talked about as a work report, the original romantic imagination disappeared without a trace.
Tricia is a professional writer, and she usually stares at the computer screen all day longing for human communication in real life. In the appointment, the two men talked about the time when the restaurant is about to close. How will things develop in the future? Although the content of the conversation made the author happy, she did not plan to go home so early. The man proposed to go to his apartment for a good wine and was rejected by the author. Although the other party was quite handsome, Trisya had no interest in a boring man.
Tristis felt that this type of IT man was simply flooding in Seattle and San Francisco.
Jeff Reifman, a technology writer, said in an article titled “You've Got Male: Amazon's Growth Impacting Seattle Dating Scene†that the development of Amazon has brought huge cultural influence to the dating culture in Seattle. Even terrible effects. It is estimated that in the age group of 25 to 40 years old in Seattle, the number of singles per 100 women is 119, which is slightly better than San Francisco’s 100:121. However, if Bellevue, near Seattle, is counted, the ratio of single men and women in this area is a bad 100:144.
Why are so many bachelors in technology companies? It turns out that many men moved to this place precisely for their work at Amazon. Reffman estimates that since April 2010, Amazon has recruited 15,000 new employees. The new employees are almost all men. After graduating from college, they joined the tech giants and received 80,000 or more annual salaries. At the same time, they also indirectly pushed Seattle’s rent close to New York.
With the development of Amazon, the number of these bored IT men is also growing. San Francisco's imbalance between men and women has even prompted marriage companies to adjust their tactics, and they have also started to attract women from other regions to move to San Francisco.
From the standpoint of women, there are so many promising young people to choose from. This should be a good thing. However, a wise and experienced woman will clearly discern the paradox: Although the number of men is more, the "good rate" is not as good as before.
"I lived in Seattle for 7 years and spent most of my time single," said Annie Pardo, a 31-year-old freelancer. "The number of men is increasing, but none of them can make me dating."
For bachelors like Reifman, the number of male competitors also increases the challenge of finding a partner. However, Tricia believes that it is more critical to have her own personality than to worry about the number of competitors.
The sanctuary in San Francisco is as bad as Seattle. Violet, 33, has lived in the Bay Area for 8 years. She experienced the same dating problems as other women in Palo Alto. Although IT men are rich, most of them are boring. They are wise and capable in their work, but as a complete person, they appear to be stunted and have a lack of interest and concern for dating people.
"IT men are too many. I can talk a lot about them, but there are few positive opinions. What disturbs me most is that I feel my IQ is greatly devalued," she wrote. "I'm a smart woman with a master's degree in philosophy from Berkeley. I'm used to thinking abstractly. On the contrary, these IT men only understand literally. They equate the amount of information with IQ, and I often feel that they are despising them, even though they The perception of this world is very limited."
Carla Swiryn works for the marriage company Three Day Rule, which operates in cities such as San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, and Chicago. Schwehring said her female clients often complained of being “double hitâ€: “They complained that the date was either scum or nerd, and unfortunately it was a combination of two.†They complained that these dates were not social, although they looked A talented person has a successful career, but it is actually very arrogant and selfish.
Another woman, Bridget Arlene, who worked at the Graduate School of Seattle for three years, eventually left the place because she could not bear the male resources of Seattle. Most local males have a bachelor's degree in computer science or engineering and do high-paying jobs at Google, Microsoft, or Amazon. However, "These people have social problems, a slow mood, strange curiosity or misogyny," Bridget wrote in an e-mail. She once had a relationship with a Microsoft engineer who asked her to finish reading Neuro-Rover, a cyberpunk-style science fiction novel before she could date her. He really did, but it wasn't a joke.
In Seattle today, it's easy to find a personal date, but it's hard to meet an interesting person who is worth long-term engagement. Because of the magic of Amazon’s technology giants, more and more young men gather on the west coast of the United States. Most of them are in their twenties and thirties, and they also seek emotional life in their spare time.
Dating has become a way for these people to show off their salaries. Tricia talks about his own experience as an engineer. The other was a software engineer who trained at the Amazon headquarters in Seattle from the Bay Area. He wore a T-shirt with a 90s industrial heavy metal style band logo on his upper body and dipped in an ordinary "dad jeans." Forty-five cocktails with foie gras cost less than $200 in less than two hours.
He spends an entire hour talking about his work and future opportunities and prospects. In addition to the well-dressed dating objects and other things are interested. Due to the writers' instincts, Tricia tried to guide the topic to let him talk about himself rather than work, but the effect was bleak.
This is certainly not what a woman ideally looks like. Tracy recalls her experience in Seattle's Capitol Hill in the 1990s, when the area was a multicultural place filled with all kinds of interesting people and things: young gay men, old hippies, simple artists And musicians, lesbian softball players, punk rockers, heavy metal bands, wanderers and collectors. At that time, people were free to grow up in joy and happiness instead of making money for Bezos.
Tricia expressed her dissatisfaction on Twitter and many female netizens responded by expressing their sympathies.
@Iamuhura wrote: I sincerely appreciate that I am no longer a singleton. Today's IT men think they are old and look like they are arrogant.
A handful of male netizens also expressed their support for Tricia’s complaints, saying IT men will not only ruin your date, but more terrible is that they will permanently ruin your dating experience.
What makes IT men more unpopular than lawyers and white-collar workers?
They always show a kind of professional arrogance, arrogance and lavishness. Violet criticized many San Francisco men who only spend money on girls. Compared to artists and writers who are “poorâ€, dating, the idea that spending money to make girls satisfied is boring.
Tristis lamented that IT straight men had captured the two colorful cities of Seattle and San Francisco. The rise of the programmer army can be described as the most significant employment trend in the United States: The US Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that the number of new jobs for computer and mathematics related jobs in 2014 was 967,000. Because the programmers are mostly men, these crazy influxes are ridiculedly called “Brogrammers†(a mixture of the brothers’ nicknames “bro†and “programmerâ€).
As programming became mainstream work, nerdy programmers who were originally at home were starting to get to the table. Many places in California are nowadays listening to science and technology brought up on high ground, such as Mountain View (where Google headquarters is located), Palo Alto (where Apple’s founder Steve Jobs is located) and San Jose (minor name Silicon Valley Capital). These science and technology centers represent the high-paying and busy lifestyle of technology practitioners. Although different lifestyles do not have advantages or disadvantages, the development of technology companies makes the lifestyle of Silicon Valley too single, and people's emotional life encounters problems.
Technology needs refinement, but emotion needs diversity.
When everyone is the same, meeting a sculptor, actor or university professor is tantamount to walking into a different world. You will find that the other party's books, sought-after performances, and contacts are all very different from yours. Everyone is different, this difference is complementary, you learn interesting things in the interaction, and the other is the same.
One of the pleasures of dating is “meeting different people†and getting a different experience in a new environment. A too homogenized living environment can make people feel emotionally suffocated.
It seems that Brogrammers only think about how to use their skills to make money. This is different from the first generation of programmers in the 1990s. At that time, many programmers were also artists, photographers, playing DJs and participating in underground subculture gatherings. Those people are full of strange coffee. Programming as a creative activity is only one of the means by which they earn living expenses. Researching computers in the 1990s was very avant-garde. At that time, unlike the programming classes that were seen everywhere, programmers became highly paid professionals.
Violet believes that the technology practitioners of the 1990s were more interesting because they were actually engaged in sabotage but they inadvertently changed the course of culture with refinement and novelty. (Sun Wenwen)
