How to find a girl programmer tips

Although the programming profession has  become fashionable for both genders following the successes of Facebook, Apple and Google , the gender inequality in the industry is still very tangible. Female programmers, sysadmins, heads of IT departments and IT companies meet, but mostly IT departments are male territory. "Why is programming so little girls?" - is given a question one of the participants questions and answers platform Quora. This gives rise to another problem: it is very difficult for a programmer to find a girl at work, and outside of it he does not come so often. 

 We have selected the most useful (as well as the funniest) of the tips in the discussion:

But, seriously, what's wrong with this advice?

2. To meet female HR specialists or project managers, doing a test task for the company or getting a job. The main thing is to write your resume correctly. You can also try to get acquainted on specialized resources like LinkedIn.

3. Meet while playing sports, in the gym, jogging, rafting, etc. And where else to look for girls with a beautiful, athletic figure?

4. Approach the task of finding a girl as a work assignment. “If you give an IT analogy: a man is an investor, and a woman is a startup (family) organizer. Both are interested in finding a reliable partner. But an investor can afford to wait, but it is desirable for the founder to find an investor as soon as possible (still relevant). Therefore, you did everything right: if you want to find a partner, first let us know about it, ”writes lead software ENGINE er, hiding behind the nickname Beaver Green.

5. "Spinning" in areas where there are much more girls than guys (literary evenings, dance classes, thousands of them), go to the corresponding events. The list of female interests can be studied on forums, sites with a predominantly female audience, and women's communities in social networks.

6. Get a pet. Taking a dog for a walk greatly increases the chance to interest female dog owners. Again, there are a lot of girls on the forums of "dog lovers" and "cat lovers". Even on the forums of lovers of aquarium fish, iguanas or spiders they are. 7. Act according to a socially approved algorithm. The algorithm was formulated by one of the participants in the discussion Sergey Shustikov: “… I get to know each other on minibuses, on trains, I ask my friends / girlfriends to introduce me to beautiful girls (but what? I need to expand my circle of friends). Almost always the scheme is the same - you talk, make an appointment in some cafe - have a cup of coffee. You come and see - she or not. If you want to continue communicating with the girl, make an appointment with her again, but not the next day. If not, then the person is not yours or your level of development has stopped at the level of 15 years ... In general, I advise you to develop. If you don’t have any girlfriends in your circle, then you don’t know how to communicate with them. ”

8. Try social networks (Facebook, Instagram, VKontakte). Or go to dating sites. “But first, of course, you need to invest in yourself - to pump up the look, style, and clean up,” writes Anton V. Or, you just need to remember your Photoshop skills.

9. “Easier than ever - hire 2-3 pretty girls to the team, and others will catch up with them,” advises programmer Natalya Zheleznyakova.  10. To score on girls. Remember: GTA 5, Dragon Age 3, Witcher 3, Assassin's Creed: Unity, WoW: Warlords of Draenor, Far Cry 4. A girl in this regard will only be a hindrance.
