been to many shows haven't really seen bothbabes. Seen sale's reps that are pretty but they are about as knowledgeble as the male reps so don't think they're there for the looks.  But then again I hear bothbabe and think of E3.

I was talking more about the social dynamic I've witnessed rather than the reps themselves. Nonetheless, as a tech-gadget hobby, there are still plenty of headphone boothbabes out there: http://hifisenses.com/event-report/astell-kern-ak380-launch-event-raffles-hotel-singapore.html

A lot of us just silently let everyone think we're dudes by default because we don't think it matters until it becomes too much of a hassle to clarify so we stew for a few days and someone posts a thread like this and we yell THANK ****.

I am not male. I'm vaginabled.

I hit edit not quote!!

this weird enough I want to be memorable

The few females I've known and talked to in the hobby have all had one thing in common: they receive PMs from creepy guys trying to hit on them.  The average audiophile is probably considered a little weird by social standards, but these guys were a skip away from the institution based on some of the short exchanges I've glimpsed. 

Could be worse. Could be the stereotypical unwashed basement dwelling anime/comic nerd heathen.

I've been the game-room organizer at anime conventions, and have also run panels at gaming/fantasy cons. There's plenty of nice normal folks, but plenty of... neither. Watching the crowds swarm around the womenfolk is interesting too. Look down from a balcony and you'll see the social microcosms. There's the few close by within touching range, the meandering excited types, and the creepers that hang back just far enough but their body posturing is all pointed towards their girl of focus.
