Without realising it, I replied to a topic under the Recent Topics List (about clothing) having no idea it was on a Men Only Board. Today, again under the Recent Topics, a thread has appeared saying that women are not respecting men's privacy and are daring to post on the Guys' Room.

Please don't assume I, or any other poster is deliberately infringing your privacy or trying to find your manly secrets!!! When you open a Recent Threads topic, it goes straight to the thread and the "Women Keep Out" post does not show.

Because of the timing, I can't believe the thread showing concern about breaching your privacy wasn't a response to my accidental post!

Don't worry, boys. Your secrets are safe. I haven't read any of your threads. Will double check the source of posts before daring to answer anything. But if you don't want women to read your posts, maybe you should ask the administrators to make sure they don't appear in Recent Topics,

Any way to add a default to the titles of any topics posted in men's or the ladies' room that say "male only" or "female only"?

Great suggestion! I'll try to get this implemented asap!!

ALL my suggestions are great. DUH!!!!!

I would have to disagree that this website is all about women, but I agree that women post a LOT more. I'm guessing there are a lot more female members than there are male (I wonder what the surgery statistics are), but I think a forum website like this is what people make of it.

So, question, do you think more men would join and/or that men would post more if they felt they had true mancave where they could scratch things that itch in private? I do make an effort to stay out of the men's room (at least to respond but I gotta say I completely relish some of the discussions) but I agree it helps when there's something the title that lets us know when the poster is looking for male responses. I enjoy seeing the male perspective and sense of humor.

body switch with @@Lipstick Lady this should be interesting

:lol: :D

good one

can't add to that

Perhaps the men would post more if they didn't get assaulted for grammar and spelling. Guys seem to prefer posting privately rather than suffer wrath. Informal writing as with texting, has become so common in business emails, I've had had to bookmark netlingo for translations. From locked rants, it seems that people like bullying foreigners as well. I've done customer support for decades and have found that people don't even make an attempt at listening to someone with an accent let alone their written attempts at communicating. Just an observation and not an invitation for restarting the frequent rant about grammar and spelling.

I only came back here recently. Does it often happen that people are picked up for grammar? That is my pet HATE. I am actually a pedant! But boards like this are for everyone; the PhD, the kid who left school at 16; the teacher and the road-sweeper; the person with English as a first language and the one for whom it is the second language; the pedant and the person who uses txt lingo.

To criticise someone for confusing loose and lose or effect and affect in these circumstances would not only be unfair, it would also frighten off those in need of support.

I posted in there too and I didn't know how to delete it since I use the mobile app so I edited and said I'm sorry didn't know they got offend it :/

I feel like I should get a gold star just for staying out of the "mud flaps" thread. Just sayin'.

I read that to my hubby last night (yea, the title caught my attention) & thought he would fall off the couch. Said he had never heard that term before (which almost made me fall off the couch). I do think the OP was truly sensitive to his girlfriend's feelings though and I certainly give him credit for asking in the best way you possibly could...

Now my hubby says maybe he should join. I strongly suggested he should not LMAO

I read the mud flaps exchange to my husband too and we both laughed hard enough to bring the teenage son in to find out what was going on. Of course we couldn't explain so that made us laugh all the harder.

Seems like a lot of fuss for something stupid. Who cares, we read what we feel is relevant to us. I don't care if women respond to the men's forum. We are not children to get upset over stupid things like that. There is no secret knock to post on the men's forum so why get so upset about it? If you see something that is interesting to you or you feel you can give a positive response to then go ahead and do it.

Good, good, the sympathy ploy. @@Daveo you have now invited men to go post in the ladies forums instead of just trolling them. I see a good topic in the forum about bra sizes heading over there to post now.

It isn't you that caused the upset...it was me expressing my annoyance with this aspect of the forum. I do not go into the men's forum , read posts and look for ones to respond to. I often respond to new posts with no awareness of which forum it is in. Even this rant was in the wrong forum until I moved it.

I feel as though perhaps some are a bit overly sensitive and read motives into actions that are just not there.

I have no intention to "invade" someone space but accidents will happen until the posts are removed from the new posts feed on the webpage.

I do that too.

I see something generic under "New Topics", click and respond and then later on I can't seem to find it only to discover that it's in the guys forum.

Done! Hope everyone has an awesome weekend

I didn't even know there was a Men's forum.... Of course I only use the mobile app.
