During one incredible(難以置信的) month in its dotcom heyday(全盛期), Silicon Valley(硅谷) was minting(創(chuàng)造) 64 millionaires(百萬富翁) every day, many young and mostly male. Magazines and Internet sites profiled(描述) male tech magnates in all their Palm-Pilot splendor(光采), inviting women to drool over " Hunks of the Web."
But when the dotcom bubble(泡沫) deflated(泄氣), hot air left the singles scene, too. Men are less arrogant(傲慢自大的), women less choosy(挑剔的).
where ads in the late 1990s hinted at(暗示) expensive lifestyles, today's wishlists(希望得到的東西的清單) are "more down to earth." And where women once demanded men with impeccable(無懈可擊的) social skills, they're now focusing on " his values, if he's interested in family" and are more open to " nerds."
