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.

LOL yep its the women that are the perves and you need to watch out for Grin

No wounder most of the men on mumsnet dont like having profiles or mr in the name as they just get chatted up all the time or worse discussed in a sexual manner Grin

Volleyball? Shorts?

No!!!

Gin lounges around in faded, slightly flared jeans and casual shirts.

LordAlconleighsEntrenchingTool · 17/11/2011 13:50

No, in my mind he does a David Gandy in the Dolce &Gabbana advert

Psammead · 17/11/2011 13:54

Ermm, NO.

I think you'll find he's actually inclined towards the ever so slightly grungy rock star look.

Psammead · 17/11/2011 13:55

Did you perhaps not see my gavel?

LordAlconleighsEntrenchingTool · 17/11/2011 13:56

Be that as it may, poor old gin has fucked off, scared.

cheeptrick · 17/11/2011 13:56

(does anyone else feel slightly wrong pervy discussing Gin's choice of clothing, or lack of?)

cheeptrick · 17/11/2011 13:58

I agree with Psam - faded rock star look.

I think he looks like the husband in Medium.

LordAlconleighsEntrenchingTool · 17/11/2011 13:58

Yes, I feel very wrong.

Sorry, gin.

LordAlconleighsEntrenchingTool · 17/11/2011 13:59

I LOVE THE HUSBAND IN MEDIUM!

I never watch it, it is a load of hokum crap with whatsername from True Romance, but her husband is lovely

Psammead · 17/11/2011 14:01

No, I don't feel pervy at all!

It's you lot on about short shorts and suchlike. Grin

Oooh is he? I don't like zombie movies but will make an exception.

Nowt wrong with being shallow. I bought a biography of Jose Mourinho, despite not giving a damn about football, just to have a look at the pictures Smile

Sorry twas in Tesco gathering num nums for the little one. and beer for daddy

Number One : I do not wear or own lycra. we had to ban one guy from coming out with us as he always wore this lycra one piece. he looked like a mime artist who'd been lost in the woods for three weeks. and we could never take him in the pub with us.

Number Two : If could afford any new clothes I'd be going into Reiss and Muji. Alas I'm testing the longevity of gap cargo trousers and worn tee-shirts. Luckilly it's almost standard uniform in my line of work.

Number Three : I look hot in a suit.

Number Four : You are all perves but I luffs you none the less.

flatbellyfella · 17/11/2011 14:22

Could one of you clever people with a good mammory memory put down a list of names with M or F on each to signify warn if it's male or female,we can all then have wall charts full of info that we fill in with little snippits of said person. Good idea?????

Psammead · 17/11/2011 14:27

You are referring to the MN spreadsheet.

I have mine on external harddrive.

My DH is too skinny to wear lycra - it would not be a good look for him (and i much perfer him to just be naked, but not out side riding a bike)

AnyFucker · 17/11/2011 17:48

I like swimming pools and beaches
