You could have put a little more effort into this thread. Usually we post a little bit of the article instead of just dropping a link. It's not hard.

Needs more information. All we know is that some thirsty indian traded a job opportunity for a date with an HR woman. Without pics or any other information to go on i'm just going to assume she was probably fat and white.

Quote:During a job interview, entrepreneur and scientist Nitin Gupta says he was asked a strange question by a female hiring manager:

"If I do not offer you this job, will you go out on a date with me?"

For some reason, Gupta wasn't insulted. He actually decided to date the woman despite not getting the job.

Quote:Epilogue: I preferred to choose her over the job. When she asked me how I made that decision, I said that working under a manager who knows that you preferred the job over her will just be awkward; so I might as well go on the date. I did get the job, under a different manager, and dated the girl for a bit."

It is bit contradictory here. First it says he didn't get the job, then he chose her over the job?

Also, as expected, the man who was approached in an inappropriate situation is named in the article; you won't find the offending woman's name anywhere.

If you're secure in your ability to get a job then it's no biggy - at worst annoying if you don't dig the woman.

So when you flip the genders...

My only conclusion is that women (and society at large) are insecure about their value in the workplace.

An inconsistent story is the best way to know someone is lying.

This is just a guy that is looking for the spotlight and business insider needed something that seemed like it could be spun into a gender discrimination piece rather than the sorry excuse for one that it turned out to be.

So 2 definite trolls and one potential one:

1. The guy in the article (not surprised he's an indian dude looking to put the white light on himself)
2. Business insider for falling for it
3. OP - are you trolling too? The thread title says "decent looking indian man" but the article title doesn't. You've managed to turn a shitty article into a potential race thread. Very subtle
