I’ve worked in tech for years, and have only recently realized I’m not genuinely into all these super-broey forever-optimizing-everything-hyper-efficiency-ice-baths-AG1 podcasts and content creators, but have consumed a lot of that type of content for years because that’s the personality type and culture prevalent in tech spaces.
I now can’t stand bro content creators, trying to rediscover what I’m genuinely into.
Tech is very male-dominated, and find it hard be authentic given the bro culture.
Have you ever felt you lost your identity trying to blend into your male-dominated field?

no
I work in a male dominated field and have many male dominated interests but I don’t consume content I am not interested in regardless of what it is or who is into it. Many of my coworkers are into things I am not remotely into and I just do not engage with it. I am not trying to blend into anything, I’m just trying to live my life.
No, but i only tried to do it once because I had a crush with a tech nerd 😂 He likes Elon Musk and speaks highly about him. So I tried to see that point and checked out everything Elon did, and with the help of delusion, I was convinced he was great for a day…But then I saw a lot other more BS pov he had and I just can’t do more self convincing haha
Early on in my career in a male dominated industry I would wear less feminine clothes to blend in and be taken seriously. As time went on I returned to dressing more however I wished.
I’ve never the need to consume male orientated content though.
