You're a woman? Welcome to land of the red pill where men are men and men think women are men...on posting on poal that is.
That's an amazing job, congrats. Great money but you work your arse off. As far as being a woman working around men- just be you. Maintain your space; don't let any man touch you or speak to you inappropriately (you know what I mean, no inuendo, no over the top filth talk). Guys will definitely test you- you probably already know that though. Be yourself or as they say now "you do you".
That is good advice. Haha yeah, I am female, I've always gravitated twords places that had high testosterone and few woman. I've been online for a long time, and I'm not surprised when people don't believe I'm female. I am social and chatty so I may try for a second to convince them but their judgment of me is based on their personal experience so I don't get offended. I laugh when some men say I sound like a man because yeah, 95% of my life has been spent trying to get away from woman while talking, working and getting my education from manly men.
I've had to revaluate who I am so I can be myself in good taste. But I think I'm going to go for "gentle soul, soft spoken, modest dialect" which I wasn't doing originally. although dressing modestly and not touching people has always been part of my personality.
Part of the appeal of working in the trade meant I could dress professionally with the same style outfit everyday, not competing with other woman on dressing pretty or wearing makeup. I hate putting on makeup and smiling for clients.
I love smiling and bringing in home made snacks for my team though.
