I've never had that kind of assumption directed at me. I've had both men and women at bookstores say they couldn't get into (insert genre here), but no one has ever thought I was buying SF/F for anyone but me. Occasionally, they thought I was buying a YA book for a kid, but that's not a surprise.
*boggles some more*
Of course, I tend to spout author connections and information at any minor excuse, so I don't think they get the chance to even consider the possibility that I'm buying for anyone but me.
Now, when I run into young teen males in the SF/F section, they tend to look at me askance...
