Not a shock that women are a bit friendlier. Whereas men try to be a bit more clever for the sake of fun.
I spent a decade selling cars and the part I miss most is the totally crazy humor between salespeople and management. You know how a salesperson goes to talk to his manager every iteration of any negotiation? Every single time my manager would have a funny quip when I returned. And I'd also try to have something funny to say about either the manager or the customer or myself.
OP would label all this as hateful or negative which really it wasn't.
