Are you a girls girl? Annoying neighbour isn't

[Dogwalkinthedark]

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?

When I'm in mixed company I'm more likely to end up chatting with men because most of my interests tend towards things that are more commonly favoured by men - politics, current affairs, science, maths, engineering, space, sci-fi - and are of less interest to most women I meet. When I meet women who like the stuff I like, I tend to get on really well with them and most of my friends are female so I probably do prefer women.

Yes i feel the same, i have no interest in whatever the heck a girlie girl is i just speak to people who interest me so a mix of men and women a lot about what you mentioned but the men i meet seem more interested than women but I do have women friends also

If I am at a party so meeting people for the first time it does tend to be men i talk to first and no i dont want to shag them i also don't make up my own stories about other women's intent even when they talk to my husband i am not back in school

I’m a bit like this too. I tend to prefer more traditionally male subjects and want to cry when the conversations turn to knitting or make up.

However if someone’s wife or another woman was present I wouldn’t hog the man in any way. With regard to conversations I prefer them to flow snd anyone who wants to join in is appreciated. So I most certainly don’t block a woman from the conversation with a man, particularly if it’s her partner. I think that’s very rude and attention seeking. That’s the red flag more than the general chatting.

If a women gets weird because I am talking to their partner i may start saying we are having a grown up conversation i dont want to sleep with them its ok you can let them off the leash

Maybe it is mn making my cynical but other peoples partners dont do a thing for me
