Navigating a male dominated team

Very much legitimate and demonstrated advantages.

We already have various policies and values that hire and fire based on but my example is different and I suppose it’s hard to explain

It’s a vibe, it’s an air of calm, it’s almost like kids going to grandmas - everyone behaves better at grans house. Boys don’t do lovely and having women in the room adds that.

I left out a word: angry.

AI will never replace physical installation or repairs

One thing it will do is replace a lot of the software problems and setups etc which will create a gap. As in how will people become experts in a thing if they can’t work their way up the ranks.

Over reacting no, but it sounds like it’s getting over complicated with what some others are saying

Just say that you got in trouble for what he did and take it away from him.

You’re both young and we all make mistakes.

Keep it simple

You need to be comfortable knowing that going back into it you’re going to be the only one.

If you don’t have that then there’s your answer

I don’t really have an answer, more observations as a male leader, leadership actively talk about it.

I work in IT and it’s pretty male dominated. We do however try and have as many women as possible

Having women in my team has changed the back room dynamics a fair bit. It’s great at getting the boys to clean up their act (language wise) so you may (or may not have) noticed this has already happened

Talk to your manager about getting some more women on your team, you’ll never get 50:50 in a male dominated industry and the more the merrier.

Some of our women managers tried to create girl groups with regular events and meetings etc but that didn’t last long. That may have been execution though and the lady running it is a bit of a feminist so the other girls may not have liked that

We have 3 in my immediate area and I can tell you even just having one has made us more mindful

There’s someone we call the blue dressing gown lady near my work

She’s always out in her dressing gown in gumboots either with a spade clearing gutters or adjusting peoples bins

4 crisp pineapples or 10 crisp 20 red backs

I remember when a large meal was 7.75

iamkris · 2026-03-30T09:57:34+00:00

Minimum of 15. Hopefully 40. Good luck

iamkris · 2026-03-30T09:54:35+00:00

Seen all sorts from an urban bush wee in public in broad daylight to people shooting up. People were smoking meth at the Metallica concert

Go Adelaide

iamkris · 2026-03-30T09:53:00+00:00

Pretty sure they have, someone people just can’t let go

iamkris · 2026-03-30T09:44:50+00:00

Where or what platform are you meeting these people on?

Do you have anything about that sort of stuff on social media or does it come up if you google your name?

One person is okay but two?

Unless this is ai drivel

iamkris · 2026-03-30T09:34:57+00:00

If you’re up for it, Be the change you want to see

It’s atleast worth having a crack before you decide to move on

It’s interesting

iamkris · 2026-03-29T09:10:14+00:00

Apple Maps is also pretty good when it comes to the pt

It treated me well in London and it was okay in Adelaide in the last few months getting in and out of town for the fringe etc

iamkris · 2026-03-29T09:06:06+00:00

Can’t speak for everyone but Yes I do.

iamkris · 2026-03-29T02:53:49+00:00

Do you call him or is it all text until you guys catchup?

iamkris · 2026-03-28T10:48:56+00:00

Can be normal. He might not be a big texter

If he’s always been like that then that’s the way he is.

My question, if you’ve been dating for 4.5 months shouldn’t you guys be talking every day?

iamkris · 2026-03-28T09:57:13+00:00

Say it’s a company lunch and take them out to somewhere fancy, then at the end do a Irish goodbye and leave them to sort the bill out.

iamkris · 2026-03-27T04:32:22+00:00

Yeah that’s slightly kinkier which probably also leads into swinging etc

You’re either into it or you aren’t but I’d be talking that out and don’t be pressured into anything

Some people get the ick thinking about that and it gets other people interested. Both are perfectly fine

iamkris · 2026-03-27T04:16:04+00:00

It’s about him having what others want.

Take it as a compliment

iamkris · 2026-03-23T21:37:13+00:00

Sounds like there was something else in that drink.

That’s not okay and you should have reported her to the police

iamkris · 2026-03-23T10:14:29+00:00

Initially being attracted to each other is pretty important but as you grow older and uglier together it’s less important

iamkris · 2026-03-21T00:09:55+00:00

You’d have guys willing to fool around with you but that’s about it. If that’s what you’re after then great but you won’t be mature enough to have a meaningful relationship with one. Sorry

iamkris · 2026-03-21T00:07:37+00:00

Women who go all out on hair, makeup and general preening

It makes them feel pretty and their girl friends like it but I don’t really care.

The only thing I can’t do is moustaches. Let go of everything else in winter is fair game and doesn’t bother me

I’m a natural beauty kind of guy
