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.

(iirc the thread titles was I like the men on mumsnet)

Ahh yes I remember that one.... :o

LordAlconleighsEntrenchingTool · 17/11/2011 11:22

I think someone accused me of being a perve, in a Vic Reeves rubbing the trouser leg stylee, for starting a thread titled like that Grin

gin I remember the first thread you were on, god people took the piss (when you said you had nordic good looks or summat) and you took it very well indeed Grin

SarahStratton · 17/11/2011 11:28

Heh, I remember the Nordic good looks comment too. We made you put a pic on your profile so we could critique.

< leers >

MrGin · 17/11/2011 11:28

Thanks Lord... I was about an inch from flouncing :o

< swishes Nordic golden locks in slow motion >

MrGin · 17/11/2011 11:30

I think the only person who does Vic Reeves thigh rubs is Buppers. Where is she anyway ? She's usually on the dodgy threads...

LordAlconleighsEntrenchingTool · 17/11/2011 11:30

Yes - you put up your picture showing your Dennis Bergkamp likenesses, and took it off your profile before I could see it

LordAlconleighsEntrenchingTool · 17/11/2011 11:32

Confession: I was one of those cowbags who said you were a perve.

IIRC it was a thread about a woman meeting some bloke from Sexfriends.com in a park and they did a bit of heavy petting on a picnic rug and we all took the piss mercilessly. In my defence (she says a trifle defensively) I thiought it was a strange old thread for a newbie bloke to post on.

I fulsomely apologise - you were very funny on that thread and I think a lot of people fell a little bit on love with you.

SarahStratton · 17/11/2011 11:35

YY there were dappled deer and stuff involved IIRC.

LordAlconleighsEntrenchingTool · 17/11/2011 11:35

Yes, and crinkly eyes at orgasm.

SarahStratton · 17/11/2011 11:42

I still have no idea if the OP was having a laugh or genuine. If she was having a laugh, she was bloody funny. If it was genuine, then I am still Envy at her shenanigans and also she was a bloody good egg.

MrGin · 17/11/2011 11:48

I think she was genuine Sarah. I had a gander at AdultFriendFinder and someone living in my town was looking for exactly what she was posting about. And we do have dappled deer around here.

My profile is open ( for about 10 minutes ) Lordy if you want to perve...

LordAlconleighsEntrenchingTool · 17/11/2011 11:50

Sarah - look, quick!

Very nice gin. i will never take the piss again. Smile

MrGin · 17/11/2011 11:54

Honestly you can take the piss all you like Lordy.

SarahStratton · 17/11/2011 11:59

Seen it all before Lord. Grin

Psammead · 17/11/2011 12:26

Moominsarescary · 17/11/2011 12:38

MrGin · 17/11/2011 12:50

Moominsarescary · 17/11/2011 12:55

Moominsarescary · 17/11/2011 12:56
