Are you a girls girl? Annoying neighbour isn't

I'd say i'm a girls girl, if you call it that?
Enjoyed the company of men as friends more when younger, but had mainly female pals.
Just been for a dog walk around the neighbourhood with my family and ran into a couple around the corner. Any time we do, this woman just lights up around Dh and chats away (have seen her do this with other male neighbours too)
I've tried hard to be friendly and smiley but she's just not as friendly as with Dh and other men, laughing at his comments (he's not even that funny really 🤣) and chattering away, turning her back on me.
I don't know, maybe she just doesn't like me, which is fine, but she seems to love talking to the men, not women. I realise that sounds bitchy, I don't mean it to be, I just find it a bit annoying especially when we walk off and Dh says 'She's so nice!'
I have a feeling she maybe isn't!

Anyone had this or know what I mean?

I know women like this. I generally steer clear of them as they aren’t my people. She doesn’t sound respectful of you.

Well, all my closest friends are women & I’m generally more comfortable with them,
but ‘girl’s girl’ sounds very twee.

Some people just aren’t going to like you. Rather than try and make patterns about who they like (men, women, people with blue eyes, people with brown hair, etc.), it’s easier to just embrace it. I’m sure you have enough friends anyway. I think maybe you’re clouding the issue in saying you don’t really have any male friends, so women with male friends might stand out more to you. I’m sure you don’t like everyone you meet!

How do you know what she is like with other women and men?
