Interesting as a woman I always had the opposite problem....I couldn't stand being around the women because all they talked about what their kids & their home & stuff I had no interest in.

I was in a career with mostly men back in those days (it's changed over the years....computer design engineering). I had a daughter but that wasn't the center of my life & I just had more in common with the guys & their conversations were always more with my interests.....just never related to the women back in those days.....they always came across so helpless & so limited in their interests & many allowed themselves to be defined by who their husband & their children rather than having their own definition in life.....LOL....but yep....guys weren't defined by their wife or children....but were defined by their career & the sports they were involved with.....yep, I fell into that category myself......don't think one is better than the other.....they are just different & we are comfortable with those who we have something in common with.
