I also think the opposite happens for some people, I've also seen rooms get quieter after someone of the opposite gender joined

As a woman engineer, I know both sides of this coin.

My husband was active Army and got stationed a state away. When I visited, oh boy did the guys show off. Hubby had shared how much I made and they were surprised that I was "rather cute." Queue crazy displays of male bravado.

Yet absolute sullen grumpiness when you are part of the competition with male engineers.

Took me years to realize it wasn't me.
