Hell I'm just brainstorming these are the types of conversations my coworkers have. I can't imagine it takes that much effort for a board to be slapped up. Give it a try for a few months and if it doesn't work close it back down.


OK, these topics in a men's section? Sexist. Women can be involved in these topics as well.

There are some things that are specifically for men, though. Where else am I going to talk about jelqing (don't Google that, the pictures are NSFW)?

They are topics that women might be involved in but are less likely to be as interested in. As for medical stuff you know none of that enlargement stuff works much beyond the placebo level right?

And that would be a perfect topic to debate...

In a men's section.

The thing is, something like that would be likely moved to te Adult forum (which, iirc, was another one of the reasons the original mens forum was deleted - most of the topics were Adult forum topics)

There's going to be an LGBT section soon, so he could post in there.

The fact is, a Men's forum has been tried out, and it didn't work. Why do you think it would suddenly work now?
there is? :D


Yeah I think so

There's a thread about it here http://www.wrongplanet.net/postt145002.html

I can't remember if it was that thread alex posted in or a different one, but he did say he was gonna make one at some point

1. It's an issue dealing specifically with men. Hence, it belongs in a men's forum.

2. If a men's forum is made, I swear that, for the next year at least (we will see about after that), I will make one thread a week about issues that pertain specifically to men. The idea of this is to start interest among men in the subforum and get people talking about things that are specifically men's issues.

I think I would respect and love to read posts in a "men only" forum that was filled with Aspiemen. Don't figure there'd be too many discussions involving NASCAR, motor oil, bitches-n-hos, what-i-did-when-i-was-drunk, how much money i make, what a psycho my wife is, how ungrateful my kids are, blah, blah. Ladies? What do you think?

I would say no, there's no point. So far I've been able to express any feelings I have in the general forum, dating or other adult forum areas. What I share with the whole forum can be shared with women and men, it's just as revealing.
