Love & Dating seems to be the same old tired arguments over and over ad nauseum and I suggest that whole forum be nuked from this planet.

Scrap the current terrible mods and bring back Hyperlexian!

I am being facetious but Hyperlexian seemed to be the reason L&D kept ticking over.

I don't really go in there much, but I quite agree that it shouldn't be a place for a gender war to be fought. I will speak to the other mods about the merits of changing approach.

IMHO if L&D is probably even more of a victim of outside culture than PPR based on the contents and current affairs.

I'm a little bit surprised that this isn't on this forum, but I think it would be awesome to have a chatbox.

hard to find, i know. but it's there.


the chatroom isn't linked to the forums in a significant way besides name, the mods there are different than the mods here.

Apologies if this has been discussed and settled (I didn't read through all 47 pages of the thread), but it's only fair to have a men's forum since there's a women's forum. Men have their specific issues involving health, relations with the opposite sex, being male on many campuses today, etc. Why not give men a place to discuss their particular issues?

I think it'd be nice if the site could let us know any time somebody quoted us.
But I understand if that might not be feasible.

I am interested in seeing an average of Replies/Views and the standard deviation. Its interesting to see what people are more likely to respond to.

Make L & D into the men's forum that they've been asking for because it practically is now anyway.
Female dating issues could be discussed in the women's forum as men can still post there to give their opinion but there are the extra conditions there that posts by men must be supportive (or whatever those rules are, I can't remember).
The same rules could be set up in the new men's forum for women posters, if they choose to post there.

A way to quote specific parts of posts by highlighting them.

We don't need to list 36 genders or anything but considering this is a sensitive subject for some, I see no logical reason to make whether gender is revealed or not an OPTIONAL thing when signing up. Why does anyone NEED to know someone else's gender on an internet board discussing autism?? Does that change how your words should be viewed or something? I just don't get why it's required.

Female posters don't really want to be asked to go in there, so we don't go in there, and none of the women are mentally argumentative or want to constructively argue for the sake of arguing.

Also, I'm annoyed to see that all the Trump threads are still lurking in habitually on the topics that most people don't want to see, as its usually the same twits who post in there, it must be a fixed obsession. (Especially when opinions and ideas are NOT always divided and contemplated appropriately). Also, the same drone about where we would be without a war to thank for it.
Whoever wants war is going to get it, one way or another and innocent civilians will suffer. Seriously, it won't be fun trying to convince them to put their toy stories and action men away then.
