I know that the irony there is that they are marketed and dressed in a manner to appeal to the male sexual mind, but I'd like to think we've evolved beyond that (chuckles heard in the audience).
"Tell me more about what you're doing/this product." seems like a good start.
Actually, that's a creative embellishment you've contributed. The quotes from the models do not support your inference. They merely portray the actions of the men, not the preferences of the models.
The writer labels it a "pretty common complaint," but the sentence “And then you get the creepers who like to take photos without asking” could be equally taken to be backdoor bragging. Plenty of women describe encounters from strangers in order to brag about their attractiveness. (See the movie American Beauty, for example).
Plenty of women appreciate the attention of men. In fact, later on, one of the models says, "I love my techies."
Downvote me if you want - this is a throwaway - but if you ever want to understand women, you'll re-read my words until you understand them.
Then: "The younger ones in previous years used to ask for my number a lot.”
The article is pretty much void of content, just a couple of booth babes giving personal (and contradictory) anecdotes.
