"Maid of honor" suggests you identify as a woman. Experience suggests that women (at least in the US) have richer and more fluid social lives. I can easily find a good handful of "girls hanging out" social groups on Meetup in my relatively socially impoverished suburb. I suspect that my luck approaching random dudes with giant headphones on, staring intently at their laptop screens in a Starbucks will be pretty different.
- kbelder 4y agoYeah, while both genders can certainly experience and have loneliness, it's massively more an endemic issue in males.
- watwut 4y agoWhat I noticed is that doing something for social reasons is literally stigmatized in male dominated groups especially when it is online and has a lot if Amerucans in it. I am woman that spend a lot of my time in male dominated tech hobbies and profession. The messages I absorbed when young roughly said that if you code on Christmas instead of socializing with family, then you are true programmer. A lot of the gatekeeping of hobbies against newbies is all bout checking who is "true fan". And true fans are not social. Are you here cause friends invited you to be with them? That is wrong. Did you came with open mind, zero knowledge and intention to socialize? That is wrong too. Did you became interested because of friends? That is wrong too. You should not be interested in things because anything social. It is not pure enough. But among people IRL who socialize a lot, including males, they get interested in what others do. They change activities to where people are. They engage in a lot of give and take "I accompany you to your thing and you go to mine".
