Would you rather work with girls or guys? Why?

Question

Does it make a difference in your opinion?

TDDMS · Accepted Answer

I'd prefer to work with competent people. In my decades of work, American women all too often use the work place as a place to socialize. I've seen this in white collar offices, low wage jobs, union jobs, everywhere. And I don't mean they spend a minute here a minute there chit chatting, I mean this is full on wasting time and yacking, not talking, for a few hours at a time.

The only good that came out watching this nonsense was American women inspired me to design an item to benefit them. I was riding the train and one day. There were a group of young women talking at the other end of the train. Myself and others could hear their conversation. I ponder to myself, "How would these girls continue their conversation if their phone's battery died?" And it hit me. Being an engineer, I put my mathematics, scientific, and creative skills to work and developed the patent pending Thermocock. It can be inserted into a woman's pussy or up her rectum where it then converts here internal heat into electricity. At the end of the thermocock, are various power outlets. She can conveniently put her pussy to work while she chit chats, talks, or yacks to her heart's content.

Now observing you girls, I will end with this, I have noticed American women have three modes of conversation. First up is the chit chat. This is where a woman will mindless say something to another woman. The content of her message is utterly useless both to herself and the recipient. But it's just there to fill up time and space. Then we have the talk. . . the conversation. This is where both participants are taking an active role in the conversation. One converses, the other listens, and vice versa. And finally we have the grand pooba of them all. The Def Con 1. The creme de la creme. The head honcho. The mack daddy. And that is the yack.

This is where a listener's ears are sonically assaulted with repeated MOABs being dropped every second. Neither participant is taking an active role in the conversation. Trying to converse in such a situation is no different than trying to converse with a howitzer.

With all that said, i would prefer to work by myself. Have a lovely day now. :)

I've found it's better to judge coworkers by their character and not their gender.

JustAnj · Accepted Answer

I'm biased lol

I grew up with boys and was raised by my brothers so grew up a tomboy.

I find guys are easier to talk to, chiller, not secretive, open, and really treat you like an equal unless you do something dumb then you just gotta show you'll do better and it's cool again.

Guys also talk about a variety of stuff and I love learning and geeking out.

In my experience with girls they are more focused on trends and relationships or boys they will never ask out.

I love helping others in their love life but I know it's not a 24 Convo I want to have.

Guys always change subjects and talk about lots of stuff that is interesting.

BlueScorpio · Accepted Answer

I don't care, I've always worked with both sexes. Most of them have been pretty nice to me and only had a few bump in with people but other than that, nothing much. To me the gender of someone doesn't matter, it's how they treat others that do. I've had good and bad experiences with male and female coworkers.

Miladin · Answer

Definitely men. They are focused on solutions to problems and often go extra mile for that while women are more like "don't bother me much". I've seen many male colleagues work extra-hours , me included, while I've never seen female co-workers do that.

Men are straight to the point and they also have fun in the meantime, while women are again "don't bother me". Those women that are like men in that regards are often tomboys.

You also have to be very careful when around women, that kills it a bit, because what often makes a work day bearable is the ability to talk about lots of stuff and to be able to joke around without feeling that someone is going to be offended or they'll twist your words or gossip around or just judge you for some reason.

I've had several great female colleagues, but the majority were just lazy, boring and not very helpful.

Not to mention that an ex female co-worker spread false gossips about me for months to other co-workers trying to destroy my reputation and to turn some people against me which drove me to a small nerve crisis and respectively medication, but I'm over that already. I came back stronger.

When I was younger I had the chance to work in all female environment, I said a joke at the interview so that I can break the ice a little bit, but they just looked at me like I'm a weirdo with a cold stare and never called back. Honestly, I'm so glad I blew it.

I don't want to sound anti-female, but my comment is just based on my experience. And in the end I'd say that I like mixed teams, but only when the girls are motivated, open-minded, have sense of humor and are not judgmental.

It depends on the role.

If it's something like a project management role then I'd rather it be a female because they are generally better at herding cats and keeping multiple plates spinning at the same time. Women are better at organizing. Their brains are better suited to it.

If it's a leadership role where tough decisions need to be made and a strong sense of vision and leadership where someone needs to be able to cut through the BS and focus on leading a group or organization and navigating rough waters, I'll choose a man in most cases.

Also, if I need a leader who can manage a group with a lot of women in it, I'll usually choose a man. I have personally had mostly good experiences with female bosses myself, but in my experience female bosses can be really difficult for female employees. Not all, but more than with male bosses. It seems female employees usually prefer working for male bosses. That's just my observation.

If it's a tech role, especially developers, I favor males too. They just seem to be more efficient, more focused, more effective and more productive.

In a role where really good communication and people skills are needed, women tend to be better.

As far as just working with peers, I don't have a preference. Well, maybe a slight advantage to women just because I enjoy them.

NathanDavis · Answer

it depends on the job...

as much as the type of the workers they actually are, regardless of their gender

if the job is to build something that is VERY physically demanding, and it's summer down here in Texas with temps over 104F, I would not call my female best friends, I would call the dudes... lol

but if the job is not physically demanding, then I rather work with whoever is more apt for team work with me... and they could be men or women, that doesn't matter to me, lol

sage2021 · Answer

I worked in so many corporations and companies throughout my working days, and I definitely found that the guys were so much easier to work with and we got along better.
Of course there are some guys that get a big ego when they get a promotion - they change for the worse. But we just stopped liking them when they changed. We threw big parties after work on their birthday but didn't invite him. We stopped joking around him. There is a price to pay if you're a guy with a big head and you don't treat your coworkers right.

NotTacocaT6969 · Answer

Guys have been much less stressful to work around for me.

Mostly because they like to be silly to make normally boring situations fun.

A woman will walk into work on a cold day and mention that it’s cold.

A man will walk into work on a cold day and inform you that the front door needs to be replaced due to his nipples cutting the glass.

ManOnFire · Answer

Both have their challenges and pros and cons. Working with mostly women can be problematic because they often gossip and can try to exclude you because you’re a guy, but at the same time you can have better conversations with women.

Working with mostly men might be worse because you always have the varsity groups or at least one dude who wants to control the room. Guys also want to talk over you in a group if they think you aren't cool and not of the same cloth as them. Bur the upside is guys don't complain about shit like women do, and you can say what you want and nobody really gets offended.

DenizLikesTennis · Answer

If you want to have my very honest opinion, yes I'd rather enjoy to work with a woman a lot but that also doesn't mean I exclude or ignore men.

It's like the conversation, the mood and everything feels soo well :). It makes me want to work more motivated etc. Especially when she is friendly.

The only slightest bit difference is that with a man it's more army-like (serious tone/mood). But other than that, I'd also opt for "I don't care"... so I don't mind at all.

Cynicaldreamer · Answer

In a perfect world? By myself with no one.
But if I had to choose a specific gender? Men for sure.

I've worked with both genders over the years and men tend to be more "to the point." Yeah they kid around and have fun as need be, but they tend to have WAY less work drama and nonsense than women.

Looking back at everyone I've worked with over the years: from peers to upper management, ALL my issues stemmed from women.

DEXTER_LIVES · Answer

I worked with all guys when I was on a welding crew out in the Canadian Oilfields, and I worked with all women when I was a maintenance man for 2 schools and I had a crew of female janitors. Some of the guys were assholes, and some of the women didn't show up to work half the time. I don't like working anymore.

MCheetah · Answer

100% guys. Can't be accused of "sexual harassment" or saying Hi to someone or have to not tell jokes or have fun in the workplace, when you're only just working with men.

I'm a teacher and half of my coworkers naturally are women, but at least they're cool (and more vulgar than the men, who are pretty professional), but most of the time, you don't get that lucky.

shark58 · Answer

I dont want to be an offence to anybody, but I ll tell you what happened in that area I was working: comments like... we had peace in our district up to the point when the woman came...(they were only men before)... In my culture, some institutions opened up for woman, eg the police, the army... at the army I heard similar comments... because of them we had to reconstruct our restrooms... it seems that there was a tendency for groups who were composed only by men... so woman were basically wellcome, but not to all...

Hairylegs222 · Answer

In general, yes guys. There are great women workers out there too of course.

A precaution as a male I face are the restrictions I shouldn't say out loud when a female co worker is around compared to when a male co worker is. She might get offended, go taddle tale to HR, get me fired. I have to watch my words carefully around women in the workplace.

All the unnecessary drama, competition, etc gets old quick from most women workers.

All the complaining... Just shut up and get the job done lol.

If I don't look at her in the eyes everytime, she might accuse me of sexual harassment saying I was gawking at her, who knows. Those things worry me around women.

Chazmatazz269 · Answer

I can generally count on my make colleagues and coworkers to pull their share of the weight. I have not been able to consistently rely on females to do the same. I don’t get paid extra to do more work, so i prefer to work with people who do their share.

KostasKouvalis · Answer

WOW! The results for A are surprising to me. B doesn't surprise me, as I've noticed a lot of girls argue with other girls. I thought it would be the same for guys, but apparently not. I am genuinely surprised.

Maybe it's because I'm single so it's much more meaningful to me, being in the company of girls, but also I'm a lot more sensitive then the average guy, so I feel I vibe much better with girls.

melanieeeB · Answer

Out of my personal experience:

Working with men: you get the job done, without getting stressed and you have fun during lunch breaks and joke around

Working with women, Ithink there are mosyly three types:
1. they talk shit behind your back and run to your employer because of every little thing or
2. they stay on their place and don't wanna hang out or
3. you do hang out but it's all serious talk about fashion or dating

Fuentes · Answer

Guys woman have that time of the month and they can be annoying because you will have no idea what mood their in and you just don't even wanna talk to them & they also have this weird ish they pull at work if they become your boss that If they like you then you must reciprocate or forever be treated like shit lol at least working with dudes I'm not dealing with emotions or worried about them having a crush on me.

Nazgol · Answer

Oh yeah for sure makes a big difference. I work in a female dominates field, childcare. There's always tons of competition and gossip. It's very annoying and toxic actually. I had my fair share of dealing with them and being burnt out too 🤦‍♀️

EspressoTeen234 · Answer

It depends on there's one girl in my biology class that really just has the best personality I like to be around in a single person project. Or in general cause I find them cute. However if it's a multiple person project I prefer a mix of girls and boys that you find not annoying of course.

TransAm85 · Answer

I work with all guys. They’re simple and easy going. The only thing bad w/men is the drinking after work though.. I have worked w/women and lived w/many females.. drama over the dumbest shit. Competition to the max! Bitch I don’t get food stamps or Welfare, I paid for all that I own. No layaway or lease or w/e other new hood shit they got.

xJeremyx · Answer

there's something just fun about working with a bunch of dudes. We can get things done, no ladies in the team that will cause a rift because 2 or more dudes like her, etc, and there is just that bond we develop, like a bunch of bros.

But I tend to communicate better with ladies sometimes, and whats to say they csnt be fun to hang around with either. They are also beneficial to have around, given that they are sometimes better at handling administrative tasks and multitasking.

JDavid25 · Answer

I slightly prefer women because I can usually joke around and talk to them a bit easier than guys.. But that depends on if I have a girlfriend though.. Then it would be guys, because like Jamie said lesson a chance of becoming attracted.. Well really no chance.. LOL.. All in all if they are cool co workers men or women I'm good.

andreasderjuengere · Answer

After I had attested incompetence to our lady ''production manager'' she began bitching around instead of improving her performance.

In my own experience ''career''-women in 'leading functions' (or what they believe to be) tend to ''scheme'' more often than men do.

As for working in a team - disregarding any hierarchy stuff - I experienced women as... functional enough to work with.

SnowedIn · Answer

I picked "don't care" but I'd rather one of the choices be both. Because I do care. We need the perspectives and experience of both men and women at work.

Anonymous · Answer

Working in a technical environment, men are generally more capable of grasping mechanical concepts than women- and can make decisions based on technical judgement rather than spiteful emotion. I'd rather work with men, because if you second guess a woman or make her feel stupid; she'll ensure you are miserable for the rest of life.

According to several studies women work together better as a team on than men do. . Women are better at collaborative work than men - Digital Journal

CallmeTheKnight · Answer

It's a whole lot better to work with men. Most Women are catty, petty, wasteful, and irresponsible when working with other people, especially other women.
I honestly am disappointed in the fact that they have children or a family, yet they have bad habits such as not cleaning up behind themselves or finding ways to get out of doing difficult tasks

Anonymous · Answer

I can handle working with a even mix of men and woman. It’s not problem. But I’ve had horrible experiences working with large groups of women. They get all catty, gossipy and chit chat. I have been in this situation 3 times and it sucked

Truth is men are easier to work with because they usually focus on what’s important.

TonightYouu · Answer

Guys aren’t as lazy women don’t really want to work they just want a check I can’t complete a project with a crew of women

WeirdoFriendly · Answer

I'm indecisive...

I think guys are more likely to do something stupid or have fun or be totally serious (depending on who they are)

In my opinion, girls always bring drama and I try to stay away from that sort of stuff. But, I do love the site of women 🤤

It would depend on how Straight Laced either would be. Providing that there isn’t any personal attacks. As long as most talking points are allowed. Then it really wouldn’t matter to me.
Of course. Either would need to know their job responsibilities.

Blueeyes81 · Answer

My job is mostly male. That being said the vast majority of drama stems from the women. I've worked with some cool ass women but the rest just seem to make a mountain out of a molehill and create drama out of thin air. So I prefer to work with dudes.

all_hayl · Answer

Option D: I’d rather work alone. Guys like to banter and bullshit and try to one up each other. Women like to gossip and have their own set of nonsense that they talk about. I don’t particularly enjoy either.

Pinay_ako · Answer

I worked with both dominated genders … I am fine with both. After graduation, I worked at a female dominated company with a female boss and three guys. Now, I work at a male dominated company with 4 women only including me…

hahahmm · Answer

Depends... girls who don't try to be men & don't dress like attention whores: fine. Girls who try to be dudes and claim that if they don't make the same pay as the guy who put in 30 more hours/week than they did it's unfair: pass.

Heolurt · Answer

There's too much negativity around working with females as an ugly guy, always walking on eggshells and watching the way we talk, plus when it comes to heavy lifting, females don't work as hard as the guys do, I see 4 females at work doing the same job as 1 guy and in twice the time, tell me why I'm supposed to say I'd prefer working with that situation over a situation where the jobs already done.

Matthew2024 · Answer

depends on what your doing. I work in carpentry and I'm a volunteer firefighter. No offense to women, but 95% of the women I work with can't handle the same work load. They can't work as fast, lift as much, the slow my down, and there dramatic asf. I want to get in and get out.
