Even girls doing computer science courses don't seem to be that interested in technology. Of course they are much more clued up about it than your average woman.

Yeah the whole 4 out of 30ish in my case, how many you got out of interest?

Sister - Brought up with animals, horses = great interest in animals/horses and would never spend £450 on a pair of shoes but would easily spend an equal amount on the horse.

See my missus was brought up with horses etc. and will spend both, the £450 on a horse AND £450 on foot wear that she will, put simply, never wear.

I'm so glad it's her account it comes out of and not mine

Well there were 2 girls in my ICT A-level class

But I think there were a few more in the year below me.

There are a total of 4 girls on my Computing degree, two I'm good mates with and 2 I've only spoken to a couple of times. None of them are ugly or geeky, 3 are damn hot

...but that's out of 80 people in all.

Why do MOST women have little interest or knowledge of tech stuff?

My wife recently got a pair of £450 shoes, which are "amazing", but would think I was if she knew I was buying a gpu for half that .

This isn't a sexist thread or anything, just wondered what you all thought.

Oooooh bet theyre nice

Which ones did she get?

I have a thing for shoes too.
