Apparently, I've joined the girls' club

I've always been amused with how I seem to blend into the background at social gatherings. I presume many times I just don't have a strong presence and people forget I'm there. I think in certain social groups, it might be something else...

Take for instance, how girls seem to always forget that I'm around. Ever since my second year of college, I've noticed that if I'm the only guy around, girls would start talking about tampons vs maxipads, what kind of guys are hot, etc. At my current job I have lunch with my coworkers, and being the only guy there I've noticed the same trend. Just a couple of weeks ago, my co-workers were discussing boob sizes, how to get fitted for a bra, how everyone thought this one person's boobs were bigger than they are (she's pretty skinny so I guess her breasts look bigger), and what brands of bras everyone wears. That got a little uncomfortable when people were pulling up their bra tags or something(I started looking away...) to show each other what brand they were wearing and proving their boob sizes.

This past Friday, there were two drunk women at a table during a semi-formal party I went to. They started poking each other's boobs and commenting on firmness and body figure. That got a little weird and I decided to leave at the next opportune moment to join Steph at a different table.

Most of the time, I'm amused at the topics of conversation - I suppose it satisfies the voyeur in me: "the secret life of women that men never get to see". But I think a select few of these conversations are: a) unusual in themselves and are no indicators of "normal" girl conversations b) provide Too Much Information (TMI) at times c) tempts me into joining the conversation for social reasons, which in turn would make the conversation even weirder i.e. "I don't know - I think your boobs seem pretty firm. *poke poke* yeah - you're right, hers are firmer than yours"

So here's my statement to the opposite sex: PLEASE BE AWARE THAT I AM A GUY. THE OCCASIONAL GIRL CONVERSATION IS OK, BUT PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE BE CONSIDERATE AND COURTEOUS WHEN YOU'RE ABOUT TO GO WHERE NO MAN HAS GONE BEFORE
