Let me offer a bit of advice. I worked in a man's world and managed men in a man's world. It's very difficult to be taken seriously for your intelligence. I know we shouldn't have to play the game, but we are women and that's the way it is. I worked hard at playing down my feminine side. In the way I dressed, spoke and conducted myself. I'm not saying I took on a masculine roll just very professional.
However, remember you can use your femininty to manipulate men in the work place.....they're so stupid they fall for it everytime and you can make them do stuff for you by knowing how use it. Hone that skill....it's very subtle but, it works. |
Mary...do you think that about ALL guys?
To the OP, coming from a man's perspective, it sounds like they're just being juvenile. I'm sure if they invited you along with them, you would see just how little you're missing.
Try to seek out friends, male or female, that you're on the same plane with. They're out there...sometimes you just have to look. I've always had lots of female friends, but some guys can't be friends. They're locked into some skewed mentality that hopefully they'll outgrow.
BTW...I'm unanimous with everyone else in saying that you're GORGEOUS! Trust me, their attitude has nothing to do with the way you look.
