[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you get along with men in big groups?  This sounds more like an introvert/extrovert thing than a gendered thing.[/quote]

I do get along with men in big groups. I gravitate more toward them when we're at parties and other social events. I find them easier to talk to because a lot of times the conversation revolves around sports and that's something I know a lot about and enjoy talking about. Sometimes I think the other women think it's strange that I'm standing around with the guys rather than in the group of women.[i] I get frustrated that at a lot of these things, the women automatically form their own little group and basically sequester themselves from the men for "girl time".[/i] I would honestly rather chat with the men (one of whom is DH). I have a higher level of comfort with men than women unless they're my good friends.   -OP[/quote]

This is strange.  My social circle doesn't do this.

But I don't think it's a problem to hang out with the guys if that's what makes you more comfortable.  I also think you might try talking about sports when you're with women -- most of us follow sports too.  But if these events always look like the women in one room talking about their kids while the guys shoot the shit about the Wizards in another room, I imagine I'd gravitate toward the guys too.[/quote]

I also think this is strange.  My closest circle of friends, the original group of friends was a mix of men and women and we have brought in our spouses.  So there is no gendered hanging out.

It seems like you need some more interesting women to hang around with?[/quote]
