posting on a diamond forum with 89% of the members being women? would you be comfortable being a "regular poster" on a forum with 89% men?
On a lot of my tech boards, I am the only girl or one of the few, and most don't even realize I am a girl.Trekkie|1392138526|3612824 said:I love that we have guys posting here. You add a different dimension to the forum.
I'm usually the only girl on my Star Trek forums. Some of the guys who post there don't even realise that I'm not a guy. Doesn't bother me in the slightest.
I think you got me mix up with some other member. my wife posted here on PS? ... She is not a member of any internet forum.mom2boys|1392140832|3612852 said:Does your wife ever post here anymore?

I have thick skins, nothing will bother me!..smitcompton|1392150770|3613007 said:Hi,
No, I don't think its weird if you have an interest in the topic. I wonder if it isn't hard for guys to overlook the pettiness and nastiness of some of the women on here. We have lost men because of it.
DF, it was stock board.

Nahhh, love diamonds since I was young.madelise|1392177762|3613365 said:No. I'm part of an exotic car forum, and it's mostly guys. When I contact locals for events and meets,
I get "cool dude" "alright man" in responses.. Even though my screen name is feminine. They don't know I'm a girl.
Do YOU feel weird about being one of the few men?!

I used to moderate a shark forum and that was mostly men.
I don't think it's weird for men to post on here at all.
There's a women's fitness forum I lurk on, and there are quite a few men who post.
