Anyone in a similar position to Martin?

Vander:
I know this has probably been asked before but couldn't find it in a very brief search and decided to ask anyway since I am insatiably curious.

Personally I think part of the reason that I enjoy the comic so much is that I am in a similar position to Martin, being that I am straight and the group that I hang out with most of the time is all female. Some of the situations he has run into have in fact been so similar to my own that it has made me question whether I am in fact living in a fictional universe.

Or maybe it is a more common situation than my friends and I believe.

So I'm  wondering just how many blokes out there are in a similar position to Martin, in that that the majority of the company you keep is female? Any women in the reverse of the situation are of course included in this question.

Since no one else replied, I guess I will.

It's pretty much the same thing for me. I don't know, I prefer the company and humor of women more then men. Then again, most of the male species I know are nothing but horndogs. So I go through very similar situations with my female friends. It actually makes life more fun you know? I'd imagine there are a lot of people who are like this.

Surgoshan:
Well, sort of, I suppose.  The vast majority of my peers are female and I'm male.  But that's mostly because I'm a middle school teacher and males are fairly anomalous in the teaching establishment, particular as the ages of the students decrease.

   I'm not in Marten's position now, but I was there at roughly his age.  In my part of the world, boys socially mature more slowly than girls, lagging behind by about two years in our late teens.  Through various circumstances, I found myself growing rather quickly in that respect, to where the testosterone-driven social interactions were simply annoying.  I was more comfortable with people who didn't feel an overriding urge to compete at that level, and that company had a notable majority of women.  I found it much easier to have reasonable conversations, and the grouping tended to attract like-minded people.  I'd say that the general sex ratio was about 2:1.

   Now that I've answered your immediate question, was there more discussion you wanted on the topic?
