“Women are actually different than men. And in a lot of ways, that makes us worse entrepreneurs. We’re horrible at demanding money. We’re bad at being self promotional. The crowd was asked to name their favorite site and only two people named the one they worked for. In a room of men you’d have to say “Name your favorite site, other than yours.” We network in a...
QUESTION!
For next week’s column in Time Out New York …
How do you feel about PDAs? No, not your iPhone and your Blackberry … old school PDAs! Like making out with your boytoy in public.
Do you like holding hands, non-heavy petting, or making out in public?

Carrie-d Away TIME OUT NEW YORK by Julia Allison
My grandmother is 84 years old. She’s never voted outside the Republican party, she was married to my grandfather from the age of 20 until the day he died, she can count the number of Sundays she’s missed church on one hand.
