[Closed] Why aren't there more women posting on the forum? Some research

So ... clubber ... will your friend be reading this thread? If not, will you recommend that she does?

Edit: can I just say welcome back to Jamie - we've missed you sweetie. 😉

Let's hope she's reading this thread being as there seems to be 6 pages about how STW isn't really her cup of tea so we should change it.

Flange, old boy. I do hope you're not a gambling man...

Why would you just agree with someone for the sake of it?

For some folk sex is a good enough reason.

😉

Eh, you sure that's my coat ?

I might go to B+Q and buy a small plane, and a hand file. I'm also looking for a little hand drill, and a small handsaw.

A small plane ? A little hand drill ? A small handsaw ? Why does everything need to be diminutive in size? Get some proper man-size tools, ffs.

Unless you're kitting out Santa's workshop.

Yeah, funny how a few individuals (including the OP ) have gone a bit quiet, eh? 😆

Ah well, was nonsense anyway really.

I've got little haynds, and don't need gert big tools as they will be unsuitable for the purposes for which I need them.

What do you know about woodwork anyway? Nuffink, so shut up. 😡

So ... clubber ... will your friend be reading this
thread? If not, will you recommend that she
does?

She's got the link though I doubt she'll read the thread before Sunday pm.

I'm loathe to involve myself in this, but I will anyway just to make these few points...

- Clubber's friend is probably right about one or two "creepy" characters, but she underestimates the tendency of some otherwise rational and non-creepy people to take an extreme position simply to place themselves in opposition to their perceived internet "enemy".

- The internet is inherently arguey (even mumsnet, according to my wife), women are generally less interested than men in arguing.

- The best threads on here (usually about actually riding mountain bikes) don't seem to be affected by pointless arguing among frustrated social inadequates, funny that.

- Some people really are not as funny as they seem to think they are.

Am I doing something wrong?

In all the years I've graced the Forum with my presence, I believe I've only ever received two e-mails from, er, slightly creepy chaps.

Disappointed C_G

i emailed you CG 😯

Is there some sort of point you're attempting to make, GW?

Or just some desperate attempt to make something out of nowt?

Has it made you feel better?

here we go again *yawns*

Sorry; what's it got to do with you?

RD; that's nothing more than an attempt to rile me. Why?

Why not just keep quiet, than post something that is deliberately meant to be provocative? And don't pretend it's not, cos it's yet another snidey cowardly little dig, same as you often do.

I have no problem discussing stuff with folk in a respectful manner, but if you resort to keyboard warrior tactics rather than actually engaging in intelligent discussion, then quite frankly you're just pathetic.

😆

Izzat cheap cider that bloke's drinking in the bath, TSY?

That is a quality gif and no mistake... 😀

Sorry; what's it got to do with you?

sorry, i forgot you owned the forum and no one else is allowed to make a comment you don't like 🙄

*yawns again at the inevitability of the next reply*...1...2...3... cue Elfin...

is not gonna happen. 🙄

I think the point GW was making was that at 1.30am most people have better things to be doing than arguing how fantastic they are on the interweb.

I've made a terrible mistake. Clearly this is your forum and I should never have dared insinuate that you might be creeping women out with your over-familiar behaviour. I'll refrain from posting from now on and you can continue. you sad little man.....

what the hell is going on and which one of you has nicked my bike?

Kev, that's sad news man. 🙁

maybe a "big hitter" can put the word out?
it might then turn up on your doorstep.

do you reckon it's karma coming around for being a drunken @rsehole on here? I want my bike back 🙁

Let's hope you're offered the same level of sympathy if your bike's ever stolen eh, MrSmith? 🙄

Christ no Kev... that'd make the karma rule of bike ownership for STW members n-1.

sorry, i forgot you owned the forum and no one else is allowed to make a comment you don't like

+1

Let's hope you're offered the same level of sympathy if your bike's ever stolen eh, MrSmith?

i wouldn't be after any sympathy just the loss adjuster to not try it on and pay up for a new one.

Please stop squabbling cos you're frightening me. 🙁

you sad little man

I wonder why it's called "bitchiness" ? ........it doesn't seem to be a particularly female characteristic.

Imagine it?? You've not been on mumsnet then?

Bloody hell my missus used to go on one for after pregnancy women,i used to find it on a tab on the ipad. A bloke posting on there had more chance of surviving a pit full of very venomous snakes,maybe the internet should be off limits to people who thought up a forum for post pregnancy hormonal women.

Interesting that, eh Ernie? 😐

i'm insecure so it's a genuine cry for help and Edward Woodward is sadly no longer available

[i]'Ooh ooh I'm really insecure and backed into a corner what can I do I know I'll have a pop at TJ like all the other insecure types on here do that'll make me feel better'[/i]

So, does it?

make me feel better?
well it's certainly mildly amusing
