We all love work conferences. They are an excuse to drink lots of alcohol, say funny things, get out of the office on the company’s dime and maybe learn a thing or two. So, what does the conference going male look like? Let’s breakdown some of the most infamous types:
- The Liar. Hello! We all work in interactive marketing. Your information is public on LinkedIn. If, for some very strange reason it’s not, a quick Google search gets you most of the information. Going to the public, but not well known “journalism” sites will get you the rest. So… DON’T LIE.
- The Completely Inappropriate Guy. There’s three people who can tell a girl she’s wearing CFM boots. (1) Her girl friend (2) Her Office Boyfriend (3) Her “Clients” if she’s a hooker. You are not one or two and I am far from being three.
- The Creepy Guy. He’s nice, but damn, is he creeeeepppppyyy. You know, the one that lurks around and always seems to be following you? If he’s uber creepy, he somehow finds out your room number and comes a-knocking… more than once.
- The Old Guy who Wants to Hook Up. This is the guy version of a Cougar. Totally acceptable at a bar. But at a work conference? Not so much. Especially when the girl says, “NO”.
Yes, there are several others. There are even the “good” types. But, writing about those wouldn’t be any fun would they?
Stay tuned for Part Two… The Conference Woman.
