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.

One can never be overdressed AF!
Are you saying you wouldn't wear this? Grin

SarahStratton · 22/11/2011 18:03

God that is vile, looks like a frilly blue pine cone.

Happy, happy birthday AF, hope you are having a wonderful day x

northernwreck · 22/11/2011 18:04

How very dare you Sarah, why I am wearing that dress right now!

AnyFucker · 22/11/2011 19:13

that TopShop monstrosity looks like a lampshade

I am more likely to wear the skinny pants and blazer than that, even for a posh do Grin

AnyFucker · 22/11/2011 19:15

aww, thanks for more lovely birthday wishes

I am on the vino Wink and the humungous box of Thorntons chocs

AnyFucker · 22/11/2011 19:15

I suspect I will have a few scraps later Blush

rycooler · 22/11/2011 19:16

Psammead · 22/11/2011 19:34

I found a smashing outfit for you, AF.

65% polyester is not to be sneezed at

SarahStratton · 22/11/2011 19:39

Naice. And looks pretty sneeze-proof too.

Coinky · 22/11/2011 19:41

I think it is Mumsnet, but it might be another parenting site, is actually made fun of on another site (complete with screenshots) on how a man got treated by members of the site. I am sure this was the minority though.

rycooler · 22/11/2011 19:43

Grin at that dress.

And Sarah, how can you not like lush? It's delicious.

Psammead · 22/11/2011 19:48

I have never been into Lush. I walk past and there's this wall of Stink. I am not sure how one breaks through it.

AnyFucker · 22/11/2011 20:00

I am two seperate people

AnyFucker · 22/11/2011 20:01

30 yrs ago

AnyFucker · 22/11/2011 20:03

coinky ?? wrong thread, love ?

this is AF's birthday thread, and don't you forget it Wink

Psammead · 22/11/2011 20:13

There's C&A all over the place here!

It's like having a time machine, being in Germany Grin

I quite like it

SarahStratton · 22/11/2011 20:22

Lush gives me the asthmas. Wall of Stink is about right. I wheeze just walking past, fuck knows how anyone actually works in that miasma.

northernwreck · 22/11/2011 20:23

Oh yes-Clockhouse at C and A. My first leather-look skirt came from there. Happy days.

northernwreck · 22/11/2011 20:26

Lush makes me all allergic too.

AnyFucker · 22/11/2011 20:26

in 30 years time there will be a new occupation-related disease

much like the cotton mills of my inhabitation spawned pneumoconiosis

it will be named Lushitis and will fell all ex Lush employees like the proverbial Hiroshima
