To have an MN name which doesn't show that I'm a dad not a mum?

[Cleggy36]

I assume that most people's working assumption (if they think about it) would be that posters on MN are mums not dads. Sometimes I feel that it's slightly cheating to have a name which doesn't clarify things, so I always end up trying to make it clear in anything I post that my point of view is that of a 46 year old bloke not a 23 year old woman.

(character from Battlestar Galactica)

I think I've made myself clear

what was that faint noise?

i really am called norah, and i am ruddy of cheek.

I was once so convinced a poster was a woman that even when he let slip a reference to a female dp i assumed he was a lesbian - just didn't occur to me that it was a man...only on mumsnet eh?
To be fair i think he was half-trying to conceal his gender...lots of posts where it would have been more natural to refer to a partner's gender and didn't...

Kara Thrace is a bit of a let down when she is not being Kara Thrace. Ruined my lesbo fantasy she did in just the same way that seeing Spike from Buffy being interviewed smothered my fanny flames

That actually was Nick Clegg BTW taps nose

huh? that wasnt meant to be in bold. Bloody stupid board software

If you are not sure if someone is a man or a woman then have a quick scan of the mooncup advice threads.

if they are not on there then this helps to build a picture. (although iirc jasonthunderpants once posted accidentally on a tampax thread)

tbh I don't care if I am talking to a mum or a dad. It's only trolls that bother me.

I am not a bear, my ears are not snobby and I am a damn sight younger than 4000. I am a man though and happy to report that most MNers do not react as if I've walked into the ladies change room with a camera phone when they find out.

Most of them.

I'm a man.

Although as I work in a virtually all female profession, have long hair, have a girl's nickname and fancy men, it could be fairly easy to get it wrong.

I am not actually called Noah

Numbers are cool. Sadly 27 is not my age, but it is a number that I will remember, and Monty was already taken so I added the 27.

But do you have a whale?

Molly - do you like Thin Lizzy?

Thin Lizzy? Nope. Guess again...

You're a Barrister?

I think Molly'sChambers gonna change your mind about that Monty.

@Monty27 - You never forget your first prison number, eh?

Are you the whale then

I wonder about this thread.. It's a bit look at me don't you think?

Are there not boards for blokes though on this Hinternet jobbie....

I sometimes wonder why blokes post on Mumsnet..

Elephant - spill the beans then.

Tiggy - How did you guess?

Hands off. He's mine!

I am really a Greek deity.....with the sexual proclivities of a goat.

I tried the "i am really a bloke" thing, but with a bit of sensitivity about where and how you post it doesn't really matter, for most folks on here.

I came on this site because I'm a nursery Nurse and wanted to hear what stuff my customers are talking about. And to give a nursery workers view of things.
