Working with Women

I feel like I have worked in quite a few male dominated industries. Certainly female tour guides are few and far between. At Aus Post there were barely a handful of us. And even in banking or wine sales there were definitely more men and men in higher positions than women.

It's an interesting position I find myself in now that I'm in a women only work environment. The energy is VERY different and I find myself in a distinctly different footing. I remember this feeling from when I was doing my traineeship at Tosolini's. A feeling of wanting to be respected by them. I guess I care a lot more what a bunch of women think of me than a bunch of men.

With men I know how to tease them and coax them into liking me and opening up to me. A handy skill which has often meant they've taught me and helped me in ways they weren't even aware of. With women I want them to like me and open up to me but on my own real merits, not just because I stroke their egos.

I am enjoying this new challenge. A house full of sex workers who's job it is to be dominate and humiliate men. These girls know what it is to have someone sucking up to them. I'm pretty certain they aren't going to mistakenly think I'm trying to do that. But for me it is still a challenge to be in such a different environment to what I'm used to. From Wonderbus and Destiny Tours to receptionist at The Kastle - who would have thought?
