[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow. This is fascinating for me to read. I am not like this, but I work with the woman who is. It really annoys me and frankly makes me not like her. She always directs her attention to the men in the room. She pretty much ignores women. Even if the only man in the room is an intern, she focuses on him. She flirts a lot with men and doesn't seem to like women very much. It's like she sees women as competition.

I guess my point is, it's good that you are aware that you do this. I suggest you make a concerted effort not to do this in the workplace.

There are men who are like this too. I dated one and now know that I do not want to date this type anymore. Some people just crave attention from the opposite sex and like to flirt with people even if they don't want to date them. Interestingly, his mother abandoned his family when he was preteen.[/quote]

I understand your frustration with her behavior, but please try to understand she hates it more than you do. None of us want to feel like this.[/quote]

Op seems self aware. But many women who are like this are not. They says stuff like, "I'd rather be friends with guys! Women are so bitchy" and "I'd rather work with men than women," which is bad for other women.[/quote]

Totally disagree.  I'm not one of these women that craves attention from men.  In fact, other than my husband, I don't care much either way.  BUT I'm am a woman who generally prefers working with other men, and have some good male friends.  I also have dear girlfriends, but overall I find most men less annoying and less maintenance (ie more secure) than most women and I simply don't want the drama, especially at work. [/quote]
