I'm getting an job in IT. IT is male-dominated and I don't want to end up like Bataar who works in IT, is past 30 and still plays with Magic cards.
I guess I need to consult with a professional match maker then
Honestly, I think you're a little young to be worrying so much about it. The average age that men around here get married is more like 30 than 25. If you hit 35 without any luck then you might consider professional assistance, but I don't see the point at 25. The field is still pretty wide open. You just have to figure out how to access it. I've missed most of the conversation but if you center on SF rather than South Bay the ratios should be better. Find activities that interest you and join groups that do those activities.
I have a job in IT lined up, but I'll be working from home or out in Walnut Creek. I'm already a member of a cycling club but a majority of the membership is older than I am and I'm always looking for other groups to join.
Then you should be on the right track. Ratios out in Walnut Creek shouldn't be too bad. Good luck, just hang in there. I met my husband when I was 34; sometimes that is just how it goes. Hopefully your jouney will be a little speedier, but one never knows. I do believe that things end up going the way they should go, but you don't know until you have the advantage of looking backwards what the positive spin will be.
I've never dated anyone I worked with, btw. Way too complicated. But my sister did marry a guy my other sister works with. In the world of indirect connections, all you need is someone with the right sister or friend. No blind dates; just nice opportunities for people to meet informally.
