Some interesting things were said... > Sanghvi - "I don’t like being called aggressive. And that reputation has stuck with me. Any company that I go to, any VC firm that I talk to, everybody thinks of me as the aggressive person who can get shit done, at all costs." This is a bad thing? >Sanghvi -"Men are just more comfortable with men than they are with women." Aren't women more comfortable with women than they are with men? >Sanghvi - "The first thing I would say is you need to live life with no regrets. Always ask yourself—when you’re doubting something or you’re afraid of something—ask yourself the question: “What would you do if you weren’t afraid and do that?” I say this because every decision in my life, everybody told me that I was a fool." That's some of the best advice to ever come out of a Wired article.

> Aren't women more comfortable with women than they are with men? Sure, why not. She also gave the example of having a drink with her CTO - the point was more about people who are more alike are more comfortable with each other.

>>Sanghvi -"Men are just more comfortable with men than they are with women." > Aren't women more comfortable with women than they are with men? Exactly. Men are generally more friendly with men and women are more friendly with men, where the ratio is, 70-30 men to women, 50-50 men to women or 30-70 men to women. Go look at the fashion industry and you'll see that the women are more friendly with the women and the men are more friendly with the men. The fact that men or women are the majority and in power is orthogonal to the issue of same gender affinity insofar are fraternization is concerned.
