[quote=Anonymous]1) I haven't been to a party like that. Our parties usually were more mixed. Though sometimes a group might splinter off and talk about beer or sports or politics or the phantom of the opera.
2) I've never been involved in conversations that were so limited by gender, though. 
3) Yes, women talk about the kids. But ... so do the men! To those of you saying women's conversations are dull, I'm sorry to hear that you don't like to hear about families. But then, most men don't actually have their own friends. Perhaps you could spend some time listening to the concerns and engaging in personal talk with some people rather than relying on your wife for your friends.
4) Sports and beer? For sure, a little talk about that, men and women. But I avoid those conversations because I'm not s a fan of either. But if you find sports and beer interseting, why not talk about them? 
5) To those of you, women included, saying "women's" conversations are dull, I'm sorry you don't like or respect women or their typical strengths. Let's not forget that oftentimesmen don't have close friendships with other men, and rely on their wives or girlfriends for their socializing and emotional intimacy. Emotional intimacy comes from sharing challenges and problems, opening up up and admitting weaknesses (oftentimes about kids or other personal subjects) not about beer or sports (unless you are an alcoholic who has a sports gambling problem). Conversing about the small, the intimate, and the personal is how you become close with a person. Please don't belittle it.
6) Parties in general are about small talk and drinking and catching up, not about getting very in depth with other person. That's more of a one-on-one thing.[/quote]
