As much as I hate working with women, I will admit that the group of ladies that are currently in our office (barring a few here and there) are some o the best chicks I've ever had the pleasure of working with. Of course, part of that ma be that they don't take crap from anyone. No cattiness, if they have a problem they talk to you and it's over. Then we go out for beers later. I suppose were more like guys and that may be why we get along so well

Is the OP a transsexual? How could a real man not stand to be around other men?

I was thinking the same thing. What does he do at the office gatherings when all the guys are hanging together?

The OP has mentioned that he was homosexual in other threads. It depends on his personality, since all homosexuals are not the same (some are more macho than others).

I think the real issue is you. I mean women at my work, all they talk about is clothes or celebrities and gossip. I hate talking about those subjects, but it doesn't mean I hate working with women. I don't participate in those conversations but when I can find something to chat about I do.

So you don't like working with men because all they do is talk about sports?! Really? That's an issue to you? In the scope of things, your issue is real pathetic. There are tons of other workers with more serious coworker issues, yet the fact the men at your work talk sports all the time has convinced you that you hate to work with men. Sounds like your are one of the four 1)Just whiney 2) too sensitive 3)too self absorbed 4) Not getting as much attention from the men as you would like or all of the four combined.

So fine you don't like sports, but I am sure the millions of people around the world that love sports are not pathetic. Yes, most other countries like in Latin America and Europe put an overemphasis in soccer. Us Americans aren't the only 'pathetic' ones. So it is part of the culture. Part of the culture that you don't like, that's fine, but I think you really come off as real whiney. I suggest you revaluate what the real issue is here, because I don't think it's about your coworkers talking about sports.

I mean what are some topics you would like to talk about?

Well it's not that I hate working with men. It's just that I hate how they only want to talk about sports most of the time. It makes me feel too different. I enjoy talking about pretty much anything other than sports. But I am not into sports or cars at all. I would rather talk about computers, technology, politics, traveling, working out, and many more topics. There are guys out there who enjoy those subjects as well.

I'm gay and I can't stand working around women. I know it's stereotyping, but it seems like all they do is chat and whine
