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 used to have to kneel down at the bowl at XP's flat to have a wee ( one drop on the floor and I was dead ) so I'm living the dream with my pee mat.

So you didn't know each other then, but since meeting on MN a romance has blossomed..? Come on! Who is fondling who's cucumbers? Or is it just virtual fondling so far?

Does the pee mat get washed ever? (boak)

MrGin · 21/11/2011 17:30

yes, I wash my candlewick pee mat. I iz domesticated. I even do my own washing and cooking. :)

cheeptrick · 21/11/2011 17:31

Do you iron as well?

MrGin · 21/11/2011 17:32

erm. actually I never do any ironing. life's too short

AnyFucker · 21/11/2011 17:33

I have my eye on this bee-yoo-tiful used candlewick here

I think it will set off my tousled locks perfectly

cheeptrick · 21/11/2011 17:39

Cool i was starting to feel inadequate, i dont iron anything Smile

cheeptrick · 21/11/2011 17:40

AF - i'm a redhead so i think it would clash with my colouring.

MrGin · 21/11/2011 17:40

AF I'm hoping for this little set for Xmas...

MrGin · 21/11/2011 17:41

... I guess the one on the lid is for when you forget to open it ?

cheeptrick · 21/11/2011 17:41

Why cover the toilet seat? Confused

AnyFucker · 21/11/2011 17:45

ohhh, very retro Gin

me likey < starts a bidding war >

SarahStratton · 21/11/2011 19:02

Doesn't bother ironing

That's good. I don't actually own an iron. Grin

Not so sure about pee mats and fluffy loo lids though...

TiggyD · 21/11/2011 19:15

Surely all men sit when they need a pee?

SarahStratton · 21/11/2011 19:38

Not the ones that I know. Confused

I've never knowingly met a man who doesn't pee standing up.

Gin, your ex is barking, making you kneel down and pee. Do you think it was some sort of power kick?

rycooler · 21/11/2011 19:57

All the men I know pee standing up -

AnyFucker · 21/11/2011 20:00

MY DH sits down to pee when he is sozzled

Get0rf · 21/11/2011 20:13

DP sits down to pee.

He has no idea why men piss standing up when they have the opportunity for a nice sit down.

NB - my DP is not 75 despite how this sounds.

AnyFucker · 21/11/2011 20:14

It's a penis thing, ain't it

They like to wield it, like a weapon Wink

SarahStratton · 21/11/2011 20:16

Ah, bit like the Waggle Dance? Hmm

Get0rf · 21/11/2011 20:18

Why does every man I have ever met done the tribal wiggle.

Standing there with their hands on theit hips wiggling their willy from side to side so it slaps their thighs going 'whooo whooo whooo'

Or is it just the men I have known?
