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?

You don’t think ‘girl’s girl’ used to describe a grown woman sounds twee?

No.

No.

Ok, no problem.

Just a reminder, any woman claiming all women are mean to her/avoiding her is a) lying or b) delusional or c) treats all women like absolute crap.

There are no other options.

Appreciate all the feedback, hard to answer to all.
Dh definitely wasn't flirting and does tend to see the best in people-male or female. Her Dh seemed oblivious too or didn't seem to mind, perhaps he's used to it.
The conversation was about our dogs, so a shared conversation, but she barely addressed me or replied to my attempts to join in the conversation.
She is good looking, this isn't a jealousy thing to me, a couple of my friends are beautiful and good mates with Dh too, I have no problem with this, they don't act the same at all.
She is a different nationality/culture, perhaps it's that? Trying to give her the benefit of the doubt sort of, it's just so different to how most women I know act, especially at this age, have seen it maybe when in teens/early twenties

Why are you trying to give a rude cheeky fucker the benefit of the doubt?

And why is your husband pretending he doesn't know she's rude to you?
