For The Men

[LoneKiller]

Would you feel uncomfortable being the only male in a room full of women? I've been there. It's a scene man. I didn't know what the hell to talk about, nor did I know anything about what they were talking about. I think bringing up sports or porn was out of the question. Me just sitting in the room eating a piece of cake without a sweet clue as to what the hell they all were talking about.

I gotta admit, I was very uncomfortable.

Would you feel uncomfortable being the only male in a room full of women?

Nope.

When I'm alone and surrounded by women, I tend to ham it up and become the idiotic center of attention. I don't even care if it makes me look like a total moron. I like showing off and being an idiot for women. Most of the time they love it and generally everyone has a good time.

Here's a hint: Just be yourself. Don't try to modify your behavior or thoughts to fit what you think they MIGHT want to hear/discuss.

If porn is what you feel like bringing up, then do it. Honestly, women talk about a lot of the same things that men do. If a guy would find something in porn funny or interesting, then chances are a woman will too. Or she'll laugh at the ridiculous subject change.

Either way, she'll definitely enjoy the fact that you were sure enough in yourself to say exactly what you were thinking.

I never thought of it that way.

Yup.

Just have fun. It's ok to be weird or even be slightly off-color with what you say.

It has happened a lot. Honestly, the vague sense of being an outsider to any cliqueishness is what bothers me more than gender.

I just change my conversational topics to ones more appropriate for women or the audience at hand. I don't really talk about sports or porn as it is, so its not exactly difficult.

You wouldn't feel awkward?

You wouldn't feel awkward?

Not really. Its something that I have a lot of experience in, though, so to speak. I worked in a job and had hobbies before that involved contact almost exclusively with women, so being surrounded by women with only a few men became something that I was more or less used to.

Women clique more than men, I think, so that's the only part which I'm most awkward with. But as BJD noted, its not really that hard to just ham it up and be a bit confident; its amazing what I've gotten away with saying, honestly. Any sense of discomfort is a good thing - it means that you're pushing your boundaries and facing some fears. Bravo.

Heck, if you want to think about it that way, how it is /not/ advantageous to be the one guy surrounded by women?

LOL Good point.

Adapt and be aware of the situation that you are in, but never lose your identity. Its an universal rule. That kind of mild and ultimately harmless discomfort can be seen as opportunities for growth, so I try to welcome them into my life as much as possible.

Also, you should whip it out. Women love it when you do that.

 

[IgnoredOne]

I would whip out your Janna and impress them suddenly.
