albertwesker, I'm with you on women [unintentionally] giving misleading advice/suggestions. That's exactly why we need a forum for men here.
There was one once, supposedly, and it was identical in content to the Adult forum.
That's just what I heard.
There are many issues that men can discuss about other than penis' size and masturbation:
-Shaving-related things.
-Body hair
-Men clothes
-Working out
-Masculinity issues (ie. guys who are seen as effeminate by other guys and how to deal with it , ie. guys who don't feel too masculine.)....
-Man-to-man bullying and belittling.
-Male beauty products
-Typical and untypical male interests
-Body issues : beer belly, small arms, over-huge muscles...etc
-Fatherhood instinct.
-Male-to-male harassments and sexual harassment issues
Those are off the top of my head, I am sure there are much more men-related stuff to discuss.
The excuse of "Men's forum will be just an adult form and therefore has no reason to exist" is pretty offensive to me as a male,
we're more than just penis on legs.
I made a quick glance on the women's forum (I almost never post there) , and here some of the threads on the first page :
Quote:
Inadvertently Flirting
Shaved legs and sensory issues
Is not wearing make-up such a big deal?
nature of special interests: different for AS girls?
What Women like most in Fashion ?
Beer belly bigger than my breasts
Keeping relationships platonic?
Female Aspies with Color Blindness Issues?
How old were you when you were diagnosed?
Any aspie women work in childcare/daycare?
Any Other People Have Food Allergies Drug Sensitivities?
How many female aspies are here?
[ Poll ] A question of gender: Would you rather be male or female?
What is your dream job?
I am NOT romantic!
unusual Japanese beauty products
Female aspies who were loathed as teenagers?
Maternal Instincts in an Aspie Female
emotional aspie female?
[ Poll ] Do you find clothes shopping so boring?

Can't the "Flirting" be posted on L&D? and even "Keeping relationships platonic" thread?
Is " Female Aspies with Color Blindness Issues" really an exclusive female issue? can't be on the Autism forum? Same for "How old were you when you were diagnosed?"
What about the "[ Poll ] A question of gender: Would you rather be male or female?" and the "Dream job" threads? both can be on other forums.
Maternal instinct? this can be on parent forum.
There's absolutely no excuse why a men's forum shouldn't be there besides a women's forum.
Hear, hear!

But still, everybody in this thread needs to watch more Star Trek. And I don't want anybody back until they know what "Darmok and Jallad at Tanagra" means.

That's my all time favorite TNG episode!
I would postulate though that if I had more social knowledge and less sci-fi knowledge, I wouldn't need to be reading this thread to begin with!

It doesn't work like the movies. Friendships don't become relationships with heartfelt admission of your longing and epic romantic gestures.
Great thread! Finally finished. I copied/pasted a lot of the comments here and will be printing them out for further study.
If anything, this has reinforced the idea that I need to hire some type of psychology tutor/surrogate date to work on confidence, body language, and related issues.
