In my opinion, people are too concerned about attracting girls (or women if you prefer) to meetings.

Downvoted for failure to either correct or justify the insulting connotations of your word-choices.

Why do you think that I should care more about attracting easily distracted boys to meetings, than I should care about attracting adult female rationalists to such? To make it more specific, why would I choose to discuss with you, if that meant I had to trade away the capacity to discuss with Alicorn or AnnaSalamon or NancyLebovitz?

Frankly I think that your attitude would be much more distracting to me than the presence of boobs would be.

I wish I could say the same about myself! That is admirable.
