Booth babes need not apply

41. Ever been to a comic con?

Being middle aged I havn't had that kind of energy in a a few decades. But having been there done that spent the time in engineering school etc. I think gives me a little different perspective on what he is trying to say. I have done the trade shows where the Molex's and Amp's of the world have their models to try and get more of the male dominated audience to visit the booth. Pretty faces that didn't know the difference between an amp and an ohm.


Having experienced that culture I have a distinct view of what he is trying to tell me. He is complaining about an influx of attractive women putting on store bought costumes without understanding the substance behind it. Observing that those males with brains still located in their pants are attracted and fawn over them However the more mature, such as himself, members of the gender find them single dimensional, uninteresting, in his own sexist term a "6". Where if they actually were geeks as well he would have rated them a "9". Note this IMO is an ex-post-facto description applied to one the author deemed shy of being Jerri Ryans character "7 of 9".

OTOH Maybe it's just the plus-sized PowderPuff Gal trying to knock the competition?
