Are men emotionally grown-up enough for a dadsnet??

[DrDaddy]

Yes, I think we are. I'm new to this site and it feels a bit odd posting in the "men's room". I half expected to meet a certain male popstar in here... DW has been a member for ages. I wanted to see what all the fuss was about and it's amazing. I'd love to be able to exchange ideas, views, frustrations with other dads. Speaking of frustrations, being a dad to 2 little ones means that a certain activity has been off the menu for some time and it's driving me crazy. I can talk to my close male friends and they will suggest solutions:

1. sort yourself out (yep, been doing that almost every day since I was 14)
2. porn (sorry, it's SO tedious)
3. prostitute / escort (degrading and way too risky)

And before you think it, I'm not interested in an affair either. But what's so great about this site is that it doesn't have to offer solutions, only support and empathy. I think us guys are up to that too, aren't we??

drD .. you do know you're allowed to go everywhere else don't you

like Bearinthebigbluehouse, adad, hub2dee, dominiconnor (ok not him) .. the more you post the more you're part of the site

there really shouldn't be this much focus on gender .. we all have different viewpoints and I don't think the male / female dad/mum persepctive is any different

i agree with twig. what should it matter whats in your pants? if youre a parent, your pov is valid on here

not neccessarily agreed with...lol

and where is bearinthebigbluehouse? did he name change or just go away?

Phew - work has just been getting in the way of my MN activity

Twig - yes I do realise I'm allowed elsewhere and have posted on other threads. I guess it just feels a bit like home here in the MR.
But it's nice to feel included, in spite of my gender. MN is evolving all the time....

yes, but it is crap idea.

Pann - explain

what's the magic word?

Everyone is welcome on MN. Its just that naturally women love to chat and help and we can't keep ourselves from doing it!

Abracadabra

Also, we girls are stereotypical. Its bees to a honeypot, flies to shit
