Even In Silicon Valley Women Are Searching For Men With Earning Potential
from the sickening dept
Well, I'd really like to believe this isn't as prevalent as the article makes it sound, but apparently, even in these good economic times, many women in Silicon Valley are still looking to snare a husband with "earning potential". Of course, there are no hard facts in the article, just anecdotes. I can support it with an anecdote of my own. Just a few days ago a friend was complaining to me that her silly roommate just started dating a guy who worked for a volunteer agency rather than a "dot com", and then pointed out that she herself was a little upset that her current boyfriend wasn't a "dot com billionaire".
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

Re: Reality Check
back home to marry and bring their new wives back here. Many of the caucasian guys are
going to the Philippines and to a lesser extent Thailand to find a woman, the former
Soviet Union is becoming another destination but many of those women are single moms
which you can already get here.
