[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some women in older generations don't really engage in conversations with men. It's kind of like they think women and men are supposed to visit separately. So maybe she was amazed that you were comfortable sitting there chatting it up with men like you were "one of the boys". [/quote] Same with some women from certain cultures and religions. I knew someone whose mother was all about "visiting" separately (after a meal the men and women would "visit" separately and would just stare at or make eye contact with the other women and not men in a mixed group (I guess she was uncomfortable staring at the men so would just kind of zone out while the men were talking and stare at the women). The mother was raised Orthodox Jewish which probably explains this because at weddings/social events/etc. the men and women and separated in the circles she grew up in.[/quote]
