I recall something like this happening during the dot com boom of the 90s: Someone organized a big mixer so imported women could meet rich Silicon Valley guys - but it turned out to be the same day as Comdex, so no guys showed up.

(Couldn't find the full story anywhere, though. Anyone?)

It's 15 years later and we're still stuck with nerdy rich guy and gold-digger woman stereotypes. Except now we also have 'brogrammers'. Sad.

But isn't everybody in the Bay Area too busy "crunching it" to date anyhow?
