Very often it happens that at work you are surrounded exclusively by men's society. Well, is not this every woman's dream - is there someone for whom to dress up, with whom to flirt and whom to pokryat? But unfortunately, it is very difficult for a woman in a male team to avoid increased attention to herself and distrust of professional opportunities. If you are going to get a job in such a place, be prepared to play against the rules.
So, you started working in a new place and on the very first day you notice that your colleagues are looking with interest in your direction, and vying to offer their help. At first, such attention is flattered, but after a while, it starts to get angry and get on your nerves. We will talk at once, to the lonely, who are looking for a life partner, these lines do not apply. But if you belong to the majority of women who already have husbands or permanent lovers, such intrusive attention of colleagues will very soon become a burden, especially when several employees start actively and persistently seek your location. For work there is no time, because you are constantly distracted by conversations, which invariably slip on slippery topics. And often this happens even if your colleagues have wives or permanent mistresses and absolutely nothing is going to change in their life circumstances. Simply, they themselves, almost without their own will, became victims of the current situation. It does not matter whether you are a beautiful woman, a coquette or a shy woman, most importantly, you were the only woman in the team.
Many men believe that a woman is not able to be a high-class specialist and make responsible decisions. And do not be surprised if you feel that interesting projects are slipping from your hands, you are constantly entrusted with secondary tasks, important meetings are trying to hold without you. It's sad, but the fact is - in a man's team, a woman has to prove her competence every minute. So you should prepare for a serious struggle for survival, often without any rules. Your professional achievements will anger the men and injure their hypertrophied sense of self-worth. Our dear strong half is much easier to reconcile with the superiority of another man than to be defeated by the "charming silly woman". Therefore, many women, once in the men's team, begin to feel like someone like a spy, thrown into enemy territory. Do not take the situation so dramatically, and yet some precautions will not be superfluous.
Do not conduct long conversations with your friends on the work phone, detailing yesterday's meeting or quarrel with her husband. Note that men are no less curious than women, and just like to gossip. In general, it is better to keep your personal life with seven seals. And even more so, do not discuss, even with a secret, with some colleagues the advantages and disadvantages of others: male solidarity will still outweigh, and your words will be immediately transmitted along the chain, and, most likely, in a distorted form.
In the fight against tiring courtship, try not to go completely to the extreme - to become a sort of "your boyfriend": men of equality still do not recognize, so you will not get respect in this way. Feel free to emphasize your femininity and weakness when, say, you need to move the table or open the jammed transom. But to correct make-up in front of everyone or to refer to poor health during "critical days" is absolutely unacceptable. It is not necessary to ask often. Your colleagues can be bored for a long time.
Neat clothes, low-key make-up As for everyday work clothes, of course, preference should be given to a strict business style. Categorically excluded are tight dresses and trousers, short skirts, that is all that emphasizes your sexuality. Of particular importance for you now are neatness and accuracy: clean hair, beautiful make-up, in pastel color, a pleasant but not strong smell of perfume.
Keep your workplace clean and tidy.
