Rejected a girl for being a little manly! 😢
So I matched with this on JS she is F32 and M34. From picture she looked nice and good height and amazing salary as well. I had put my salary to be 50-70LPA and her salary was 70-1 cr. We texted each other for sometimes and she seemed like decent person who is grounded. Mostly work keep her busy and her friends keep asking her for events and all which she avoids as she liked less crowded space and prefer peace. Since we both are in tech it seemed like we can easily talk about things like AI and job market and everything else. Everything good on the paper.
But then I met her for coffee date in the morning. Now how do I explain this, no offence to anyone here. But you know when you go to a doctor who keeps a very serious face and takes time to formulate answers before giving you prescription, that was the vibe I was getting. She was still working today even though it's holiday and was visibly seemed reeling under the workload and feminine qualities were lacking, it was plain voice and rational answers and logical conversations. It seemed like I'm just talking to an IT bro. Even if looks can redeem her but no she was a serious corporate employee vibe and she is a decent looking girl but not the cute or pretty kind.
Now I get it, women in tech specially getting to a place where she can ask for 70+LPA package takes something extra. You are competing against a lot of men, and your team is only going to be men only. So you gonna be good at coding and mathematics and logical reasoning. I respect that. But all I could think is a dead bedroom scene. After coming back I thought this for a while. She asked me if I want to hangout in the evening later.
Well, man I thought for a while. I know it's too early to make judgement call as well. Perhaps she would open up if we get more comfortable but decided to not do this. So I politely said we are not vibing and if she feels the same way. She said either way if fine with her. I said, let's just be acquaintance she accepted. Feel bad, I do. And I also feel bad for myself, when will this end?
