I hadn't thought of it that way, most of the forums here are male dominated. So not only is a female forum neccesary but a male forum isn't really needed. It's nice to see some constructive thoughts for a change.

I never said a female forum was necessary and male forum wasn't..... :?

I'm just saying there seems to be a lot more male members here than females.

Or is it just me...?

Maybe females aren't very good at being open about their issues like the males here. I find myself relating more with the males aside from some of the female bashing and negative assumptions that're made concerning romance.....hmmm.. :?

...I can't help thinking that you think it's " constructive " because it agrees with you/is something you like ! !! !! !! !! !!
A thread is not a board/division , no .
It's not life and death , whether there's a Men's Board , and , I imagine that may well tend to be true , of males tended to not go to male forums...However , I still think a Men's board would be a good idea .
However , again , not life and death...

If you bothered reading both my posts here, you'll see that my opinion changed because of Misscontrues post. Which is the complete opposite to what you've just wrote yourself. You can't be bothered to read my posts, don't bother replying to them.

Why? It was tried, it went badly, there was no reason to keep it other than people thinking it was "fairer" that way.

It comes up every few months, someone wanting a men's forum. And every time it goes absolutely no where. Putting up a men's forum will only attract the same it did before; it might be different for a little while, but it won't last. If you take down the women's board, where would you like us to put our period problems? Member's only? Not adult, because periods start before 18 for most. What would you suggest?
