Newbie Guide:
It requires serious preparation to be an effective part of a group. Experience is the best teacher, but I can tell you some of the basics.
For now, your occupation or gender matters little; the most important thing is to find people you can trust and work well with.
When you look at your party in the compass/radar, on the top right of the screen, notice that your party members are marked by green dots. On the left side of your screen, you can double-click the Party window to move towards a nearby member. Also on the left side of your screen, you may double-click on one of your party members to automatically follow them.
Remember too that a monster usually concentrates its attacks on the person who is most seriously injured. A monster will also generally attack whoever attacked it first. Therefore, if you are in a party with another Fighter, try to alternate your attacks so that the monster divides its attacks between the two of you instead of concentrating on only one. Doing so will help reduce the injuries you receive while increasing your combat effectiveness.
