Men's Forum

Post Reply New Topic

I was just being facetious. But if there's a different option you can try, it might be worth looking into.

Yeah, when there's a better alternative that I can know of, I'll be sure to implement it.

But unfortunately for now, this is the best I can do. Anyway, it's only a one-time thing (when you first register). So just do what Moog suggested when you stumble upon an equation that's difficult for you to answer.

Bumping it up for the interested but unaware.

I can put it in my post sig to help advertize but I don't want to copy anyone's post sigs without their permission

You have my permission. As if I'm going to say no.

Then why wasn't the womens section taken down at the same time?

I don't get the lack of balance on this site.

the love and dating forum seem to be the closest to a mens forum because men are always going on about sex and wanting a girlfriend

us women have things we like to talk about that men dont have to go through like periods,pregnancy,childbirth,menopause
also there are more men here than women

if there was a mens forum it will just be sex sex sex and girls girls girls thats you men cant seem to think beyond your weiners

WP doesn't seem very fair nor balanced sometimes.



I was gonna say that I have a couple theories about this.

I never go in the Women's section but the description says "Having a male gynecologist is like going to an auto mechanic who doesn't own a car" so it could be designed for women to talk about things like their time of the month. As a general rule women do not want to discuss that stuff with men unless he is their romantic/sexual partner or a medical professional. Plus very few men would want to hear women talking about that stuff except maybe from their romantic/sexual partners; both my exes & current girlfriend talked about that stuff with me a bit & I wanted to know because I loved & worried about them but I don't really want to hear other women talking about it if you know what I mean.

Also Aspergers is much more common in men so men are probably the majority on this site. The Women's section might be trying to cater to the minority so they would feel more welcome. It's kinda like how there is an LGBT section here but no straight cisgender section.

You might be rite Caz about a Men's section being primarily about sex but I support the idea of a Men's section & I'm sort of on the asexuality spectrum. I do not conform to the male stereotype & I think having a Men's section could be a good place to discuss issues related to the male image. Us guys could talk about things like peer pressure & not fitting in with other men. We could talk about how to better relate to other men or how we feel better about it & be more OK with being the male gender. I've majorly questioned my gender & sexual orientation in the past due to not fitting with with other men. I have posted about this in the LGBT section some but I'm not really gay, bi, trans, or a lesbian so that section didn't seem to really fit. I have touched on it some as well in various posts in L&D & the Adult section but I think a Men's section would be a better fit for this.

Because it's not being abused.

There have been various attempts at starting a men's forum over the years but, like this one, they died through lack of interest - see this much earlier attempt for example, which lasted for seven pages before expiring in Feb 2011: viewtopic.php?t=101191#p2245384
There are more floating around WP; these dead threads all now consist mostly of people who no longer post to WP.

The Random & GAD sections have been abused by spammers many times & L&D section has had lots of controversy & threads that got locked with gender debates & those sections have been up since I've been here. You & other mods do a great job of dealing with it these days so I don't get why you guys couldn't moderate a Men's section

Being abused by spammers is not the same as being abused by members, and controversy in L&D is not what happened with the "official" men's forum - although it should give some flavor of it.

It's worth noting that this thread and the one I linked earlier, being just two attempts of many others at starting a men's forum, have all died through lack of interest - not abuse, or a lack of moderation.
For some reason they just don't retain sufficient attention to keep them alive.

Feel free to resurrect this or some other abandoned men's forum you might find. If it survives, I'll sticky it.
Maybe the end of 2021 will see the start of a lasting men's forum?

^^^I forgot about PPR. There's been a bit of members who ended up getting bans from posting in there, I'm sure after they've received a few warnings of corse. Very excellent reason for me to stay out of there. I'll get upset & then post something that would get me a warning.

Members here would be much more willing to go to a Men's section if it was part of this site than go to a whole new site simply because it has a Men's forum. Forums in general have been dying for quite a while now due to social media being more popular & WP & the other autism forums are no exceptions. WP has been the top autism forum for MANY years & it is now much less popular than it used to be even thou it is still the top one partly due to being majorly neglected by Alex. The software bugs & glitches caused lots of members to leave. Having a Men's forum that was well moderated might encourage some members to stay. More than a few of us autistics including me have a major problem with seemingly arbitrary double standards & having a Woman's section but no Men's section sure seems like one. I could even argue that the reasons given as to why we cant have a Men's section proves exactly why it is needed. We cant have it because us men will abuse it; & assuming that we will abuse it is applying a negative accusation to us solely due to our gender. A Men's section could be a good place for us to talk about others having wrongful assumptions about us due to our gender.

Caz72 is right, the men's forum would just be full of sex, girls and penis talk. Mostly what the adult and L&D sections are full of, so consider those sections as men's forums.

I don't talk about that stuff that often & assuming that I must solely on the basis of my gender is extremely unfair. A men's section could be a good place to talk about us being unfairly judged due to our gender.

Likely a case of "once bitten, twice shy".
That, coupled with the short-lived attempts over the years of starting one that lasts.

Of course you're always free to ask Alex about it.

I never said YOU do, I'm just saying that sex is a common subject discussed among men. I'd prefer there was a mens forum because at least then us women will know where to avoid when we don't feel like seeing thread after thread of sex discussions that are usually among guys talking about masturbation or sex with women.

It's a true fact, most men do have sex on the mind.
