Dads at meet-ups

[hub2dee]

Ermm.... does it ever happen, and would it be a GOOD or a BAD thing ?

That's me! hello

dont mind this site as it opens up your eyes

Oh OK WMF. I thought you were propositioning me for a moment! But you meant Galaxy. That's OK then! [smile}

Bum Meant

"Don't mind this site"???? Surely you meant to say "I love this site"

propositioning this early on a sunday morning!? Not me

I am very new to MN but one of the interesting questions is whether it would be a better or worse place with more male involvement.

Whilst one side of me thinks every dad should explore this phenomenal community / resource, it is distinctly possible that could somehow spoil the 'specialness' a bit, IYSWIM.

Hmmm. Me, romantick, jmg1, Tom, DaddyCool and 25,000 women

And BigGayDad surely?

Erm, yeah, if I went to a meet, Dee plus whatever sprog happeneth in July / August this year would cometh too.

Also, don't forget, many of those 25,000 women have a dh or dp breathing down their necks! Not sure how my dh would feel if he knew I was talking to men as well as women (not that I would give a t**s anyway!)

I think there's only been 1 male in my town of being on mumsnet that has been arrogant, offensive and a complete shit on here. I don't have a problem with men posting and being on meetups.

My dh was a single dad for 3 years and he may have found mumsnet a great support had he known about it. He would also have been snapped up by eligible women and a meet up

Hey dont leave me out hub2dee! Who is Tom? never seen him post,
There is also biggaydad, daddypops and rockdaddy

Do you all have a secret thread hidden away at the bottom of the topics page?

Turn up the bass

My dh was a bit put out when I said I'd met jmg but when I explained jmg's circumstances and that it was with other families he was fine about it. That's understandable to a certain degree and if he was posting on a men's forum, went on a meetup without me and met women I'd think it a little odd. I think if you include your partner that's different. dadslib just slagged off his partner and his life and chose here to vent his anger.

Lonelymum, one more ? Do you know that means we each lose about 1000 women each. LOL.

Sorry, BigGayDad, I am too new to know all the blokes, plus the probably dozens of lurkers wondering whether they will get their keyboard slapped if they venture out into the forums

Muggle

stuartc

who's muggle?

Who? Who? Who? Where do these men post? Must be on the most boring threads ever as I have never come across them (and I am more or less 100% tied to Mumsnet these days.

Must be the Wine Club threads. No-one has posted there since 20th Nov.

I don't think they post often. I've only seen stuartc once recently and he got a telling off for this post. Can't remember what thread it was on now. Oh yes I can, the circumcision one.

Any thread talking about cbeebies babes or music and you usually find a few of us

Well me and biggaydad anyway

How do you set up a website? Dh has just been sacked and I was just thinking if there is no such thing as Dadsnet, maybe we could make some money setting it up!
