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.

I haven't got a candlewick bedspread - how very dare you!
I'd like one though - very retro. >

But but but - it's what goes on under the sheets that's important AF - you should know that, being M'nets agony aunt n'all.

northernwreck · 21/11/2011 16:46

I thought Sarah and Gin had had a blind date all arranged, like, aaaages ago. Did I make it up because I wanted it to be true?
I asked but was rudely ignored Angry

cheeptrick · 21/11/2011 16:48

If they did they are being very coy about it all Grin

AnyFucker · 21/11/2011 16:50

ry I am most certainly not MN's agony aunt. Some people hate my guts (can't think why). Although if you make a habit of posing seductively on candlewick bedspreads and showing any ole stranger, I may have to go all Fem on yo ass Grin

or just give you a slap, whichever you prefer (don't answer that)

MrGin · 21/11/2011 16:55

northernwreck I hope I'm not giving too much away buy Sarah used to live in the same small town as me before she moved oop North. We just didn't know each other then. Ships that pass in the night and all that...

I was probably fondling cucumbers in Waitrose as she was at the deli.

MrGin · 21/11/2011 16:57

buy = but

AnyFucker · 21/11/2011 16:58

oooh

star crossed loverzzzz

rycooler · 21/11/2011 16:58

Grin I love you AF - you tell me off then lead me on -

and I've only got 5 m'netters on my friends list - I know they're genuine.

Ok - off to burn the dinner.

AnyFucker · 21/11/2011 16:59

AnyFucker · 21/11/2011 17:00

AnyFucker · 21/11/2011 17:00

this is almost a quiche we have here

some crossover, granted

MrGin · 21/11/2011 17:00

MrGin · 21/11/2011 17:01

empties a sack of radishes in the thread

AnyFucker · 21/11/2011 17:01

true

MrGin · 21/11/2011 17:08

MrGin · 21/11/2011 17:15

SarahStratton · 21/11/2011 17:17
