The problem with male colleagues talking with each other is that more often than not, they are talking about women, sports and other typical male discussions that are, to a certain extend, not interesting to women.

Also, when you try to join a conversation between men, they tend to feel uneasy because the have the feeling that they have to behave differently because of a female presence.

I did experience in the past that a great number of men don't like it too much when there are women in the conversation because it forces them to adapt their conversation topics to something that is also suitable for women.

I also feel that may be single colleges thought I like them to join the conversation 😂

Of course that could also be true.

It is up to you to go up to your colleagues to start talking with them. You have to take the initiative to give your opinion. If your male colleagues appreciate your comments, then they are more likely to invite you to their conversation. However, if you notice that they ignore your comments, they indicate that you are not welcome in their group. It is up to you to judge.

Well, you should participate if you want to and feel comfortable doing so.
Being social can be fun, you can meet new people… Make new friends.

This is about networking. The more they know about and understand your thought process, the more likely they'll consider you for opportunities they hear of. If you stay isolated, you may not make waves in your present location, but you may be limiting your expansion into other locations.

It always helps your work relationships when you socialize

You don't need to lead the conversation, just a comment here or there
