Posts that start ' Hi ladies'

[MaryBerrysEyelashes]

is anyone else a bit

[MissBattleaxe]

On mumsnet you just can't please everyone so it doesn't bother me how people open the thread.

[MaryBerrysEyelashes]

Do women really say that to each other, is my point?

[MaryBerrysEyelashes]

shite punctuation there, sorry

[Cocolepew]

I prefer what's up bitches.
But either would do.

[screamingarmadillo]

I immediately think it's a man. Or a Forever Living distributor.

[KinkyAfro]

Doesn't bother me at all - prefer to girls which is what we women at work are referred to.

And I am a lady

[MaryBerrysEyelashes]

at Coke

[MaryBerrysEyelashes]

Snort at FL, or Younique

[KittensOnAPlane]

so long as it has a decent title, and doesnt end in


discuss



i'm ok

[TheHouseOnBellSt]

I want to be addressed as a lady...that's what I am after all...

ONLY KIDDING!

YANBU of course.

[The5DayChicken]

I am most certainly not a lady, so being mistaken for one is a refreshing change

[Imlookingatboats]

Henceforth, I'm going to start mine:

'Yo' bitchez'

[EponasWildDaughter]

I always think it's a male poster if it opens like that.

[roundandroundthehouses]

It sounds false to me - like someone's received idea of how you're meant to address a group of mothers. Sometimes it's just because they're used to the lingo of a different forum. But it's used often enough by journalists, goady fuckers and people selling you something that it doesn't warm me to the person, put it that way .

[WorraLiberty]

I just assume it's a typo.

[Sparklingbrook]

Always cobblers IMO, and yes I always assume it's a male with an agenda or a big stirry spoon.

[roundandroundthehouses]

I reckon it's the direct equivalent of the flyers you find in libraries. "Calling All Teens age 14-16!!! Wow your mates this summer with cool digital art skillz!!!"

[ouryve]

I usually expect them to tell me about a forgotten inheritance from a long lost Nigerian uncle.

[firesidechat]

I immediately think it's a man. Or a Forever Living distributor.

Me too I'm afraid, especially if there are other things in the posts which set off alarm bells.

Never thought it might be a Forever Living rep though. Will look out for that one.

[ChippyMinton]

Also ones that start: So...

[magicstar1]

It always makes me think of Kevin and Perry trying to chat up girls

[MrsBertMacklin]

I've learned to heed it as a warning sign of a troll, usually of the horny amateur male escort type.

[shadowfax07]

It really doesn't bother me at all. Although knowing that there are men on mn, it does seem wrong to exclude them.

[Gottagetmoving]

Friends of mine say 'Hi Ladies!' when they all meet up, or 'Hi, Girls!'
I hate it.
