A reason why I dislike homogeneous environments is because I feel like the odd one out. If most people in a room are of the same demographic, and I don't fit that demographic, then I feel like an outsider.
It is hard to interpret your question as sincere when you imply that people want diversity so they can pick up women.

I had assumed that you were not a minority in this context.
It is far more logical to me now that I understand that you prefer to be among people like yourself, not so much that you want to maximise diversity for diversity's sake. I echo that and appreciate the candor.
I'm asking sincerely. I don't know anyone who would ever express such a sentiment. It comes across as odd, and even suspicious, to me. Do you hope to increase your chances of finding a like-minded woman there?
