Wired headline: "no one wants to date tech bros" because of how they "are now widely regarded", as if there's a faddish opinion
Body of article:
23-year-old Gary ... explained to a woman why he took an engineering job at Palantir, ... Raking in a $250,000 salary would allow him to help pay off his parents’ mounting medical bills, he explained.
4 paragraphs later:
sometimes he makes up stories out of thin air to justify working for Palantir—like that line about the medical debt. His parents don’t have any, nor are they ill
Maybe, just MAYBE people don't want to date people like this for reasons beyond perception and regard. Maybe it has to do with what they are ok doing? Lying in a first conversation, working for Palantir - maybe these are not fully separate?
