Antinetworking (2)



Lately I assisted to some events where the ladies behavior has been quite rude. I don't know if this is lack of knowledge on basic behavior rules, or due to their feminine characteristics the believe they can do whatever they want. So you will find the following real stories:

Case A: I was at one of my information sessions. Commonly this events are held in a hotel room or in a reserved space at our school, and even if it is not mentioned, the code dress usually is "Business Casual". The specific session started at 9:00am and at 10:00am arrived a girl dress up in sport Lycra shorts and a sweatshirt, it was obvious that she was working out and came directly to our session. She was still sweating, her hair was on a messy pony tail, without makeup. Then she sit near me, ask for her breakfast, eats it and leaves the place. She didn't ask for information, didn't take notes, she came, eat and left.
Recommendation: If you are going to a social event, use the same dress code than the rest of the people. Take notes, do not go to the event just for the food. It is of really bad taste that your clothes smell, so if you do not have the chance to get a bath, at least put some more clothes on you and avoid your neighbors the bad odors.

Case B: A girl sit on the side of one of my candidates, during the complete event she was chatting with him, the people around her didn't hear well the information session, but she continue to get this boy attention. At a specific moment, she take out the presentation card of one of  my advisers, place it on its back and write herself information. Later she do the same for the guy's information.
Recommendation: Do not use the information events as a platform to a social/love encounter. If you want to meet people, wait until the event is over so you can personally interest in someone else. Avoid getting out of the session with the picture that you only were there to get a husband.

Case C: Other girl came to my information session in a very inconvenient state, she had on yesterday's clothes, and she was notoriously sleepy.
Recommendation: Do not visit an information session if you are not at your full percent, this means, bathed, sober, combed and make up. You are giving your best impression and that was not the best way to do it.


Case D: I was at the Foro Forbes de Mujeres Poderosas with Ofelia and we came back from the first break, and when we entered the room, our seats were taken by other people that arrived earlier, so we circled around and almost every seat has some papers on top, we decided to push to the sides 2 magazines and the conference started. Almost 20 minutes passed when 10 women came to "take their places" and they annoyed because we took 2 places. I have to clarify that the conference has no assigned places, and we get teases from about 5 women that those places were from them. We didn't move and ask them to be quiet because they have arrived late, and we haven´t taken anything from them.
Recommendation: If you are going to an event, and there are no assigned seats, do not try to move anybody from their seat, you will lose your style, there are no rules on this. If you want to be seated at a specific spot, arrive early and take your seat on time, do not think that is going to be held by anyone on the event.
Some of my readers, know me personally, so I would like to read your opinions and know, What else you would do different on my suggestions?
