I participated in a daylong workshop last week, where I probably knew only one person out of roughly 150. Despite most of us not having met one another before, practically all the guys there immediately formed a pretty strong rapport between breaks - joking around, roasting each other, freestyling, some throwing a kickball outside, etc. It made the experience a lot more fun, and some of us even made plans to try to hang out again. Even the ones I didn’t get a chance to spend time with greeted me with a high five or a dap when I saw them, and were very complimentary (”like yo shoes, king!” “Looking like a playboy with that cut, my boy”) On the other hand, I noticed that a majority of the women pretty much kept to themselves, and when they did interact, it was almost exclusively in mixed groups of men and women or one would join in with a group of all guys here and there. Mainly, they all stayed on their phones or would break apart with one other person they already knew. It kind of surprised me that during the 12 hours we were there, none of them really tried to create the same type of bond or familiarity that the guys had. Of course, I know we weren’t there to socialize or make friends, but it seems like you’d want to make the best of it. I’m curious if you all have had similar experiences, and why you think it may be easier/ faster for us to build this type of camaraderie? submitted by /u/Alarmed-Tradition-88
