Men in relationship forums?

yay my first thread, wish I knew some celebration smileys.

Do any of the girls in this forum find it strange that men would even want to be in Life1, in my opinion relationship gossip is more of a women thing, and my husband would not even read this section.
I have been on a few multi-subject forums and it’s just my observation but there seems to be 3 distinct type of male found in the love/relationship chat.

  1.  Pervert/Charmer – The type of guy that trys to hit on girls either upfront or via private msg etc
    
  2. Lost soul – The type of guy who just broke up with his girlfriend and is looking for advice from other women to get her back.

  3.   Freaks – The rest.
    

Personally I would never marry a man 1 or 3. I’m not saying we should ban men from life1, I just think that some of the men that roam life1 are a bit tortured and vitriolic and mainly type 3.

Re: Men in relationship forums?

its a public forum men can come and go as they want and wat makes u think men dont have realtionship problems? sometimes some of the best replies come from men and its gud to have two different prespectives on a certian issue....

Re: Men in relationship forums?

i do NOT agree with u...men do have heart too and most of us have soft hearts like i do...thank you for downing my spirit. have a nice day

even though im a girl i do agree with ur point men do have hearts and some men do find it easier to discuss their problems on here so i dont see how its strange...


**
thank you so much...why do all females think that men are somehow monsters who are loking for flesh only and leave the soul untouched. i take offense to that...sorry, i'm becoming a bit emotional**

yet another *one of those all-men-are-pigs-except-ofcourse-my-husband/brother/father * threads.

good job! :k:

abRe afsos kii baat hai k u saying that in a public forum...i dunno what he did to deserve that...may Allah make u feel better aameen**

Re: Men in relationship forums?

Men have a heart too. Some of the guys here are pretty decent, its just a few of the really atrocious ones that give the rest a bad name.

Re: Men in relationship forums?

I dont see anything weird about men posting in life and nor do i agree with you that many guys who post here are tortured and so on. As many have said b4 me guys have heart and and feelings aswell, its not like they are made of ice.

And at times they give even better advice than us girls. Im glad they post in life, because you get another perspective on things. Of course there are alot of freaks and weirdos her, but one just have to remember that not everyone are like that. Its many good and decent guys out here , but the creepy/ weirdo ones gives the rest a bad name as Sara516 pointed out. :@:

Re: Men in relationship forums?

Sara , your statment goes for both genders ... All five fingers arent equal :)

Re: Men in relationship forums?

You seem to have a very limited and immature understanding of this forum and of men.

This forum is not all about "relationship gossip," though much of it may be consumed by that. It is what we make of it, and often there are really important issues and questions being addressed. These benefit both genders.

And why wouldn't men be interested in exploring and understanding relationships? They are involved in them. They are affected by them. And they have a lot of important insights.

Re: Men in relationship forums?

I can't believe I'm going to take this stance, but I don't think most of the guys hanging out here in Life1 are pigs. I think they really take interest in what women think, and want to pick up advice on how to make things work (in current/future relationship). Some are in the market and are looking, yes - I wouldn't call them pervs or charmers, but I think the reason why THOSE guys visit this forum is to get an idea of what the mindset is out there so they know what they're looking for when they go on a rishta hunt.

Also, its really helpful to hear stories of how things did not work or did work, to get an idea of what you should/should not do in a relationship.

If my husband visits this forum or not, I could care less because its his choice what he wants to do with his time, but I wouldn't knock down a guy for visiting this place. Its not that you're more manly if you choose not to listen to women's life stories.

Re: Men in relationship forums?

duh! in real life, men are very much a part of our 'life and relationships' unless ur living in a monastery somewhere, it helps us understand their point of view. u might come here only to dish out gossip and hear it too, but there are men and women here who are discussing very personal and legit issues.

You say the sweetest things about me :D

frankly speaking most of the stuff posted in this forum is incomprehensible... and the people who post those things are probably beyond help... such as the oh-so-shareef serial playboys, etc

but just like any other part of this site, there are some good posters (both male and female) here as well... so if those good male posters stopped participating in this forum, I think the quality of the forum will suffer.... this place is better off because of male posters like CM, X2, funguy, etc... one doesn't always have to agree with them but at least they say interesting, well thought out stuff... I actually think there were many more good male posters who used to post here who don't seem to be around any more...

Re: Men in relationship forums?

Which category do you fall in? :snooty:

Re: Men in relationship forums?

Wait why am I defending men?

You're right, there are some FREAKS here. Its just that you don't know they're freaks. They don't walk around with a stamp underneath their online ID.
