The thing though is men are seen as potential harassers, which women virtually never have to deal with. Even though we aren't, enough men are to color relations with women and add wariness to interactions; women would see us approaching, and not see us as professionals alone. And guys know they see us that way, and its not unwarranted; they don't know we won't be creepy tech guy, and there's a lot of proving on our end to assure them we wont be.

That extra subtext isn't there as much with men.
