To wonder why there are men posting here?

The website is called MUMSnet. Not dadsnet or parentsnet, but MUMSnet. Most people who post here are female so why men would even want to post here is beyond me. It's even creepier when they don't have any kids.

Bit more than that, Pacific!

More alike not, I reckon.

Just different priorities sometimes...

DaddyBeer · 07/10/2014 20:35

Than not, even.

PacificDogwood · 07/10/2014 20:42

Yeah, lazy short-cut, DaddyBeer Grin - sorry

DaddyBeer · 07/10/2014 21:26

Whenever I'm in a social quandary I just think to myself "what would David Niven have done?"

Words to live by there!! Grin

Anti

I am gutted, truly gutted :(

I've been telling all my friends about the dog posting on MN.

Still shaking my head at PC & JP. There's yet another thread about Mr Bloom... really, really don't get that either. Nor DT or BC. DaddyBeer I really though you were doing well :) but CA?? nooooooooooooooo

ChippingInLatteLover · 07/10/2014 23:05

Good to see you back Livia :) You weren't offensive At All.

Now, I need a young Colin Firth in my life... if anyone can recommend one, that would be champion!

LiviaDruscillaAugusta · 07/10/2014 23:10

Chipping Grin

Don't see the BC love either but DT is lovely!

Daddy Alex Polizzi (sp?) - I have a girl crush on her because she is awesome!

Anticyclone · 07/10/2014 23:20

Ah Chipping you never know, it could be a double bluff. I could be a dog pretending to be a man...

Phew Anti - I'd hate to lose all street cred!

When they come looking for you, just leave the odd paw print or woof would you, there's a good Pal :)

MaryZ I've posted on Dadsnet a few times, but god, you'd die of boredom if that's all there was to post on wouldn't you!

Must go and have a look at that private school debate!

ChippingInLatteLover · 07/10/2014 23:31

Oh 7 litters - 7 different Dad's too I suppose!?

What a bitch.

Anticyclone · 08/10/2014 00:04

I am Shock at these baseless accusations! Grin

ChippingInLatteLover · 08/10/2014 01:10

I'm sorry Anti if you feel it's a bit Ruff.

MrsTerryPratchett · 08/10/2014 01:53
*Chipping? Really can't see it.
MrsTerryPratchett · 08/10/2014 01:53

Highlight fail.

In case that wasn't clear

No No No No No No No No No No No No

Not even if he was the last man on the planet, just Nooooooooooooooooo

You're welcome to him :)

MrsTerryPratchett · 08/10/2014 02:57

I just don't think we're speaking the same language any more Chipping. I feel we are drifting apart .

ZingOfSeven · 08/10/2014 03:07

I don't know where Oinktopus is. I miss him.

hi Chipping and others I know

I'm level 61 now. I beat your sorry arse!Grin

I have no issue whatsoever with posters who are male being on here for the same reasons as the rest of us. I object to the few who come onto the Relationships boards, or FWR boards, purely to goad and abuse women further; but they're normally jumped on from a great height very quickly and removed (phew!)

One of the male posters who I used to chat to on here even married one of my RL friends - that was a weird moment when I realised who he was! - the corners of my world folding in to meet each other again.

In general I think everyone should be able to post her so long as they don't consistently break guidelines, and accept the site for what it is - the posters who really piss me off are the newcomers who bitch and whinge about the site "oh it's so old fashioned, oh why can't you have tickers, oh why do you let non-mums post, oh blah blah whinge whinge". IF you don't like the way the site works/is run, then go elsewhere!

As it happens, MN has been invaded by female trolls too - there was an invasion at one point from a child-free forum (by choice), which involved quite a bit of nastiness.

So I hope the Dads and non-Dads keep posting!

(and I'm pretty certain PigletJohn is male)

Also, Chipping - glad to hear you're not a cumberbitch either - I have no clue what that's all about, although I have a soft spot for David Tennant - but only when he's being nice. He looks horrible when he's in a mean/villainous role! JP and PC - just no. No. Really, no. Grin
