I had a similar distrust and dislike of women which originated with my sister's long-time abusive behavior toward me. Her jealousy and hatred was particularly hurtful at school and it is because of her that I developed a reputation as a loner and avoided female friendship until well into my thirties. I'm working on developing closer relationships with women but as one noted, I can come across as aloof and lacking a sense of humor. Still finding my way to come across as authentic and trusting but it isn't easy to make friends when you're in your forties.
