Uncomfortable in male company
I wonder how many of us feel uncomfortable in groups of males? I find that I do. I was at a party and dinner the other evening and the males all grouped together while the females were at the other end of the deck. I found that not only did I find the conversation in the male group boring but I did not feel at all comfortable there and ended up sitting by the females and listening to their much more interesting conversations.
I experience this feeling frequently. I much prefer female doctors to male ones for instance and while I got along well with my male colleagues at work I found I particularly enjoyed my female colleagues. I abhor groups of loud men especially in places like sports bars.
I am not a "sissy" as the term is used pejoratively. My career has taken me to some very scary and dangerous places and I have dealt with those challenges successfully. I don't mind physical danger and I have had to fly helicopters into gnarly places and camp out and reconnoitre active and erupting volcanoes. Yet loud boring and excessively masculine groups just repel me.
What do others feel?
