And I have had other conversations other than lipstick and dress shopping with other women, it's just usually those topics that tend to break the ice before moving on to meatier fare. <br /><br />"Promoting"? I'm simply expressing my perspective, note how many times I use the word "I." That's how I feel, that's all. And now I have read how you feel. It's all good.

I really enjoy the company of my friends of both sexes. I'm not the kind of woman who likes to talk about lipstick or dress shopping, so this exclusively female conversation you're promoting actually usually makes me feel entirely left out and uncomfortable. I much prefer a mixed conversation, where the conversation isn't so heavily gendered.Peninanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017927177231080668.post-77906263272056047252015-11-02T11:48:34.974-05:002015-11-02T11:48:34.974-05:00STAHMs: Stay at home mothers.
In my experience, ...STAHMs: Stay at home mothers. <br /><br />In my experience, there are all types of men, as well as all types of women. I can't chat with ALL women. Although from time to time I have been blessed with a fellow geek. <br /><br />Princess Leahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17217157534383672867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017927177231080668.post-21992219935362168072015-10-29T09:53:22.568-04:002015-10-29T09:53:22.568-04:00What are STAHMs?
This is probably true, overall. ...What are STAHMs?<br /><br />This is probably true, overall. However, inasmuch as I tolerate large social gatherings at all, I think I prefer mixed seating. Male conversation I often find narrow in focus (usually sports or occasionally politics (which I invariably disagree with), I don't know people who discuss gemarah at dinner) and dominated by the 'louder' personalities. I have a tomboyish female friend who agrees, complaining that all-female company is dominated by fashion and make-up; she usually has to find men to talk about geeky stuff. I suppose I find women less judgmental and more tolerant, but that could be my neuroses speaking.<br /><br />As I say, probably most men and women would agree with you, this is just my take. Even in a mixed kiddush, I've noticed people tend to gravitate to others of the same gender. Davening is another matter, of course.Daniel Saundershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07087956908558706584noreply@blogger.com
