 Yeah. Clueless.

I find it interesting that the women I know of, who think they need men the most, are the unusually-talented women in typically-male professions, like engineering, construction, or logistics.

Once you hit the 90th percentile, or so, it's just you and your bros, and you barely scraped over the finish line and are mostly valued for your ability to enjoy doing stuff they hate doing.

The air can be really thin, at the top, ladies. 
 "thin" meaning way too much choice and they are almost all entirely oblivious to your advances?

yes

ordinary stuff like reproduction and perpetuation of the species are marginal concerns to those with big engineering problems on their mind all the time 
 I meant that there aren't many other girls there. 50 dudes and you.
No problem getting laid, with those stats. 😂

"She's the cutest girl in the machine room." 
 well, i can see both sides of this and i can assure you that being oblivious to advances can be a thing too 
 😂
