I think Shepard dogs are the most beautiful, but I don't know if or when I'll decide to get one.

What does this thread mainly relate to in the concept of a ''Mens Thread'' on W.P. Everyone seems to know what's in the women's and continual suggestions and comments that get made over on there, so was wondering if this thread is pretty much the same horizontally in paroling and stereotyping the male species. Politically, artistically, idiocratically or otherwise. :?

In my vote I say yea to the idea of a separate "Men's Discussion" forum since women already have the "Women's Discussion" forum.

I like women.

Sorry, I just do.

I like to interact and talk with them, don't care too much for sex and all that, but I enjoy interacting with women more than men.

^^i wish you all the best in your conversations with the fairer sex. in general [outside of family/kinfolk], women tend to avoid me. no common frame of reference there.

I'm with you BDarvo. Have always felt more comfortable around and enjoy conversing with women than men. Always responded better to women teachers and doctors. Can't say that I can concur with the "don't care too much for the sex and all that thing" as that is a part of why I enjoy the company of women over men. I also empathize with women for the historically unfair and abusive treatment they suffer at the hands of men. I look forward to the day when the United States has a female President.

Men who want or need a separate section should not be denied the privilege that women and LBGTIA people have because over six years ago a mens section was tried and it became a heaven for misogyny. Most of the members are different then back then. Those that are still around have more then proven themselves as worthy members of WP. The site is moderated better in regards to gender prejudice be it misogyny and misandry. Since then we have had the #MeToo movement so most involved are more aware.

That said this software is buggy and seems at times to be running on tinder hooks. It is better then a year or two ago when I was expecting to lose WP as a resource at any moment. I fear that any attempt to modify the software will introduce dozens of new bugs if not break the system. So IMHO priority should be solidifying the software we have if not rewriting it completely.

I walk a Chihuahua sometimes and no one has ever f****d with me while I've been walking with it but I do get funny looks ( I'm 6' 2" , 16 Stone with blue hair )

I only began to value male relationships recently, but this probably has a lot to do with my father, who didn't like me.

This seems like the best place to discuss the difference between having an AS mother and an AS father. I think that AS is more common in men because it has more adverse effects on mothering than fathering. I think that my mother got it from her dad, and wound up feeling closer to him than her mother. She would have been happy to stay in her career, but the economy shifted, and her parents wanted grandkids.
My parents came from different backgrounds, and the love did not last. As the second child, I was not a novelty. My sister was expected to teach me what she had been told, but would rather have stayed an only child, and was no teacher at that age. I was given everything my parents had wanted, but not much of what they actually had, like personal attention. Mother had low tolerance for noise, so I was just quarantined if I was crying but not bleeding.

I understood from an early age that my parents' job was to provide all the basics and some toys, and mine was to make them look normal and in control if I wanted to stay in the family. Mother gave up on looking normal and left when I was 15, and dad kicked me out at 17, telling mom that it was my choice. She only heard my side when she was dying, and then told me not to call her again.

Who though?, Madonna, Obama or Clinton? There's too fewer female protagonists as far as choices are concerned, these days.

Why am I getting dragged to the men's list to read a woman's opinion?

To feel manly, you should dress well, smell well, have a beautiful woman by your side and exercise, a lot

For me, reacting differently to men and women is enough.

Try dragging yourself away from The Daily Mail or the likes of The Daily Mirror or The Sun and you'll see why.

Depends on the way you view your opinion polls, and stand by it and I for one, am not biased by it.

Well, yes, I do agree with that but I don't approach or talk to anyone in the real world, just online.

I tend towards women more than men when talking online, I really just mean converserving, I have a few ideas why, but too many fembots on this thread to share anything.
