All these are just examples to give an idea of what the question is about:
If you are a guy, do you refrain from swearing in womens company?
Do you open doors just for women, but not for men?
Do you drop the conversation about the latest sports?
If you are a woman, do you censor the talk about beauty products?
Do you drop the swearing?
Do you change your behaviour more just to fit in with different social contexts? In other words, if you stop talking about sport, for example, is it because your wife isn't interested in sport rather than because she is a woman.
Do you think you present differently to those of the opposite sex to those of the same sex?
How do you treat people differently based on their Gender (or do you)?
How do you treat people differently based on their Gender (or do you)?
No, I don't usually treat people differently based on their gender, only few exceptions:
1 - I am an affectionate and maternal person, have a tendency to hug, touch, kiss often and say pet names such as %26quot;sweetie%26quot;, %26quot;hon%26quot;, %26quot;darling%26quot;... because of such, in the past, few male friends had thought (during the beginning of our friendship) that I was interested in them romantically, which led me to either explain myself or tone down my way of being with them, only until they realised that this is part of the way I am with people in general.
Most women don't misunderstand my affection, even after they have become aware that I am bisexual.
2 - I trust my male friends more when sharing personal information, as they tend to be more discreet and not gossip (most, not all).
Other than that, I speak and behave the same around both, and entertain whatever subject comes up...I've discussed poetry, history, beer, romance, film, music, beauty products, art, cooking, cultures, football (soccer), politics, nature, sexuality, dance, and so on...
The gender is of no importance when exchanging with others, it is the individual - his or her interests, what they would like to discuss, I just go with the flow of the moment.
How do you treat people differently based on their Gender (or do you)?
I don't take the opinions of women seriously.
I hug men a lot more than women, I also trust male friends more than female friends, so I'd definitely say less private things to women.
I don't treat people differently according to gender [or at least I try not to]. I see people for who they are and treat them accordingly, I don't see walking and talking vaginas and penises..
I probably do treat the genders a bit differently subconsciously.. But I don't think it's anything big.
I really don't understand people who become a completely different person when they're around people of the same gender and when they're around people of the opposite gender. It doesn't make sense to me, all I can see when I meet a person like that is a liar.. They're lying to themselves and to me as to who they really are, IMO.
Which is why it drives me insane to the point of almost wanting to quit relationships altogether when I meet a man who is a gentleman around me but an *** around his guy friends.
I dont talk about %26quot;chicks%26quot; when im with my female friends, and I would never touch the rolls of an overweight woman!
At first I was going to say that I don't talk or act differently around men or women based on gender, but that's not entirely true. I rarely bring up politics as a topic of conversation with women but I will with guys, and I won't bring up gardening with guys unless I know they do some. If any women was to bring up beauty products in my presence my eyes would probably cross and I'd pass out. I hate that kind of chit-chat. I try not to swear in front of anyone but my husband and I hold doors open for everyone---men/women, old/young.
i treat people the way that i would wanna be treated if they are mean to me then i am mean to them doesn't matter what they look like!!
I dont treat people as a gender, i treat them as a person.
I treat people the way THEY want to be treated. I listen, observe and ask questions.
Take care.
I don't do it based on gender, but rather on the age of the person I am speaking with. If I am speaking to an older person I am much more respectful, and if I am speaking to a child I am much more playful. If it's someone in my age group or my parents age group I talk as an adult to other adults, relaxed and no guard up.
If I am talking to a woman I talk about the same things as I do with a man. It doesn't matter either way because I look for a common value theme and can discuss issues based on what we have in common or not...
I'm more apt to adjust the way I talk based on the person's intelligence as well.. some children act mighty intelligent and some adults act mighty childish. If I talk to someone super intelligent who loves to talk about philosophy and life, then I enjoy intellectual conversations. If I talk to someone who brags on about all the things they own and how great they are I excuse myself... if on the other hand it is a person who wants to tell me about all the places they have been in the world I will listen and ohhh and ahhh because one of my dreams is to travel.

i treat people on how they treat me.
if they are nice, i treat them back nicely.
even though im a girl, sometimes i treat boys nicer than girls. sometimes, boys actually have more interesting things to talk about than girls. and a lot of times, boys treat me better than girls.
i don't treat people differently based on sex, but out of respect of another persons beliefs, i don't swear in front of religious people, or rather i try to refrain from it,i guess it really depends on how well you know the particular person or not, but as a whole, I treat both sexes the same
I always try to treat people in the manner they wish. I try not to swear in front of women or men, unless they break the ice. And I'll open doors for anyone. Of course, one's behaviour must change if one hopes to fit in different social contexts - but that's merely displaying good manners - it doesn't matter what gender of the other person/people may be. About the only differenceI have ever displayed is that I never wanted to pick up a guy before!
