Yesterday a VC friend of mine used the following analogy (which I happen to think is hilarious):

“Being a VC in a room full of entrepreneurs is like being the hot girl at a nerd party”

To provide some context, he was sharing his perspective that when he goes to conferences or tech events, he tends to get a lot of attention from the entrepreneurs in attendance (kind of like when an attractive girl walks into a room filled with guys and becomes the center of attention).  People listen to what he says and think that he must have something particularly insightful to share (or at least people pretend to) since he’s a VC.  His self-deprecating response was that it’s only because VCs are like bodyguards standing in front of a pot of gold (the fund) that the entrepreneurs want access to.  I appreciated his humility and thought the quote was one of the funnier ones I’ve heard lately.
