  • There's no line for the ladies' room.
    Most of your female counterparts are working booths.
    The other girls forget to wear comfortable shoes.
    The guys ignore you at first. . .
    Until they don't ignore you at all.
    But Macworld is no place for a single girl to find love.
    Trust me: This is not the place to find a date.

    What Macworld Is Like For a Girl

    Now, I'm not going to reinforce the stereotype that there are NO women at Macworld. Because there are. Just not a lot. But the biggest issues of being a lady at one of the biggest tech conferences of the year have nothing to do with being outnumbered. Check out my slideshow for my experiences of being the fairer sex at this year's Macworld.

    Bwahahahha! I thought this was going to be a post about products targeted for women. This was so much better!

    When I was really young and single I went to a couple of sci-fi/comic book conventions with my dad in hopes of bumping into a cute, smart, quirky fun guy that would actually understand statistics. Nah. That hot geek never appeared to me.

    This is equal to the boobs and beer commercial. I was there and it was interesting to see software matched with green bras and cleavage.

    Things have really changed over the years. There actually used to be less lady attendees and less booth bims. I think there was a whole booth bim backlash like 5 years ago and they were nearly obsolete.
