I just don't buy into social stuff. People at work to work. As long as she is treated with respect and provided the same opportunities as everyone else it should be cool.

People have different interests and it is totally fine. At our place some people are into Fortnite, some people into crypto, some people into playing the piano.

So when Fortnite people stay after hours to put some games in, it doesn't mean I have to stay back and play with them.

That's not really what I was getting at. Most of the guys are just like you described. We usually can't even settle on a video game to play. However, even with the one thing in common with the whole group (slight interest in board games) we just didn't hit off. And it's not like a singular attempt or case either. It's like there is a cultural divide. Now that's not the case with everyone, my example is anecdotal. I have female friends that dig board games and some video games and there's no divide there but just in the workplace, that is not the case. From my current experience and environment it seems very unlikely I'll ever meet someone like that though.
