So I, a woman, have my football team that I have been following and watching weekly games for years and know the in and outs of the league. Why then, won’t men who know this about me talk to me about it? I’m talking about situations where small talk is the vibe of the moment, like a bit of down time during working hours for example. Regardless if I start the conversation or not, I’m always excluded. The weird thing is though, if the conversation changes to something else, I’m suddenly visible again. Multiple times at work when there’s a new male staff memember and we find out we support the same team there’s borderline zero acknowledgment, but if they find out another male team member does thar can’t stop chatting about. If on Monday morning I bring the weekend game up to a man one on one it seems they can barely be bothered stringy two words together but I’ve had multiple times then heard them fully discuss it with another man several minutes later. I barely get any space to say anything in this regard, so it’s hard to know if I’m doing sonething wrong and I’m definitely not being pushy or trying too hard because I learnt long ago that doesn’t work. So men, is there something I’m missing? submitted by /u/Worriedpizza25
