to think that not every man on mumsnet must be "dodgy"

A thread on mums net to settle an argument about mumsnet...
DH thinks that if a man is on mumsnet then he must have an ulterior motive, to chat up 'mums' - he wants me to add that he thinks they must be devious. I think, perhaps naively that there are probably some genuine male parents, aka dads, wishing to discuss parenting issues. DH believes men should be on dadsnet.
Genuinely looking for opinions.

You are all dodgy Grin

MoreBeta · 17/11/2011 08:36

cheeptrick - I honestly thought you were a man. Blush

Psammead · 17/11/2011 09:02

This thread is ace.

What the merry Jeff is a friend list?

It's tragic that I don't know that as I am obviously not on anyone's.

Psammy no-mates Sad

cheeptrick · 17/11/2011 09:55

MoreBeta - i will take that as a compliment, thanks Smile

A friends list is in the my profile bit and if you add someone as your friend they can see your secrate photo's that other mumneters can't see.

Its all very secrate and eggy Smile

Psammead This line from one of your posts

I like having men here. Honestly, I think nothing of it. They are just like people

reminds me of a client of mine, thirty years ago and I won't say from what country he came, who sat with me in court listening to Her Honour Judge Blank hearing his case, then whispered to me "This woman, she is just like a real judge, a man".

Well, you don't get to choose your clients . . .

I'll be your mate Psammy....... I'll send you the direct debt info in a PM

Psammead · 17/11/2011 10:21

I added a coupla peeps. No idea what benefits they get.

rycooler · 17/11/2011 10:23

Psammead; Mumsnet mates has been around for years, it's a facility that allows friends only to see your photos, that's all. It doesn't lead to Narnia or anything.

cheeptrick · 17/11/2011 10:24

if it dont lead to Narnia - i want my money back Angry

Psammead · 17/11/2011 10:31

That's what you think. Between my last two posts, I was in Narnia for 30 years, actually.

It was brilliant.

cheeptrick · 17/11/2011 10:35

Oh i have no friends to try it out on, guess i'm stuck here for now Sad

I would have loved to visit Narnia Sad

Or the place where peter pan comes from.

Moominsarescary · 17/11/2011 10:35

I don't even know how to pit pictures on

rycooler · 17/11/2011 10:37

And when I say 'mates' I mean people I have spoken to anonymously, they're not really my mates - they seem nice and normal on here, but for all I know they could be accessing Mumsnet from the secure wing of Broadmoor.
You just don't know.

LordAlconleighsEntrenchingTool · 17/11/2011 10:37

I love the men on MN - i started a thread saying as much about a year ago. Some of my favourite MNers are the blokes.

Psammead · 17/11/2011 10:40

Ohh, I can resize pics and everything now.

Swish.

cheeptrick · 17/11/2011 10:43

LAET - I remenber that thread it was good Smile

cheeptrick · 17/11/2011 10:44

Ry - i also wounder if some people are locked up and posting on Mumsnet Grin

Moominsarescary · 17/11/2011 10:44

I'm going to have a go now

LordAlconleighsEntrenchingTool · 17/11/2011 10:46

I also think that any bloke who comes onto a site which is 99% women, and just gets stuck in and just gets it, must be a good chap.

I am rather disappointed though that in 5 years od MNing I have never had a pervy PM. SadGrin

LordAlconleighsEntrenchingTool · 17/11/2011 10:46

cheep that thread as also an eyeopener, I found out that loads of Mners who I thiought were women were actually chaps!

cheeptrick · 17/11/2011 10:50

Me too, i was surprised by some posters.

I have had pervy PM's but mostly from woman - maybe i should change my nn Smile

Moominsarescary · 17/11/2011 10:52

Maybe we should start another, all men sign in here!

I've found how to put pics on but I can't do it from my stupid bloody iPhone

cheeptrick · 17/11/2011 10:55

I think it was put in Chat and called - i like having men on mumsnet Grin

LordAlconleighsEntrenchingTool · 17/11/2011 10:57

It must have been in chat - just done a search (iirc the thread titles was I like the men on mumsnet) and it is not there.

rycooler · 17/11/2011 11:01

Who needs PM's? - I pulled AF last night in 2 minutes - the floozy.
