RE: Working With Women

At a previous job, a couple of chick coworkers *hated* me. They were both blonde, but neither were very attractive despite what they thought of themselves, and each took every opportunity to bitch to my superiors about me. The fact that I didn't give a fuck about them, that I didn't try and kiss their ass like my own manager did nor find them cute, caused them to hate me. The fact that the job was shitty did not prevent these chicks from thinking I was scum. IMO, in higher status jobs, the chicks don't behave that way. It's like the girls know deep down that they are trading on their looks, while men compete on status, so the fact that she too is working a shitty job does not make her any less contemptuous of you and your low status.
What annoys me most is that if you have a decent looking chick ragging on you and disrespecting you, 95%+ of guys will fall over themselves to side with her and laugh at her jokes. The men will immediately cede authority to her on what is and isn't socially acceptable, and I fucking hate it. And if you call the bitch out, or make fun of her in return, she will rat on you in seconds. While I'd love to say something that'd shut her up and make her feel like absolute shit, eg draw attention to the fact that she's fat, the punishment would be swift and severe. Your only real recourse is a light, condescending response in good humor. Also, be dismissive of her overall - act distracted when talking to her, as if you have more important things to ponder.
There's a classic parallel here. That is, as much as we bemoan and complain about women here, men are to blame. We know this.
The workplace dynamic is no different. I can think of every problem I've ever had with a female coworker (thankfully, they are few and far between in my line of work) My problem was never about the female, because truth be told, I don't give two shits about female coworkers. Like basil mentions above, I just treat them lightly and dismissively, like wallpaper. I know for a fact that I can run circles around any of them, and at any given moment, it's just a matter of time before a woman's own incompetence will get her fired.
What ruins it is the female cunt/beta male alliance. If I don't fall for her shit but my male coworkers do, then I become a black sheep and an outcast, and the voice of the minority when openly blasting her incompetence.
Thankfully, working in restaurants is one of the very last bastions of the boys' club. My only problems with female coworkers have only occurred working in hotels with HR departments.

RE: Working With Women
As a male nurse, this thread is pretty amusing. All your analysis are spot on. Women are vicious to each other and you have to be careful of the crossfire.
I've only been on the floor for 6 months, but I've realized that you don't work with women -- you work around them. Otherwise you'll inevitably fall into one of their stupid cliques and alienate yourself.
I can't comment (specifically) on sales, however I will say that the only way to get better is to work your ass off. Re-evaluate after every customer and analyze, why, how and where you went wrong. With every success analyze why, how and when you nailed it. Create a template in your mind from what you've gathered and consider each new customer as a blank slate.
Anyway, that's how I approached nursing and now 6 months in I've already got a reputation as one of the best nurses on the floor.
Edit: For what its worth, I'm still very new to game. However, when I go to work I do not game the girls (nurses, students, techs, docs). It sends their hamsters into overdrive.
