so you agree a "women only" forum is rather rediculous?
Well, I would hate to call it " rediculous " cuz there are alot of newbies with those kinda ? but I don't think i really wondered about that stuff on my first hike. i think we girls get too frenzied about these kinda " delimmas " and forget that we are quite capable of dealing with that out there. it just gets figured out.
so you agree a "women only" forum is rather rediculous?
Completely. :)

Smile, correct me if I'm wrong, but don't you own a "women's only" forum???
No, I no longer do.
Some like the page here on WB, and I suggest they use it as it was very kind of WB to make it for ladies - but it is far from private, and I have to agree with Yappy regarding the discussions. :)

there ain't no "men's forums"
Aside from differences in physiological "plumbing", I don't think I'd find anything that women talk about to be inherently "private". As far as I'm concerned, gear questions might receive more exposure if posted in the "general" forum, since some of the men who visit here have worked at gear shops and are familiar with the intricacies of fitting women to packs, boots, etc.
there ain't no "men's forums"
No need. Everything that women need to know about men they can find at sporting events and "jock itch" commercials on television.

Wow, you got your website updated pretty fast, that wasn't on there when I asked about you about a "women's only" forum. I was a member on the Hen Hike forum last year, i didn't hike with the group, but the forum was private for women only. At least that's what we were lead to believe. No Biggie, carry on with the jock itch discussion.
Umm, I didn't start this thread. I was replying to a ? asked by Lw. Whoever opened it it wasn't me. Whatever.
It's cool, they split it. :)
I liked your comment, good thought :)
lol.. I know they did ..;)Men, they are always trying to take control.. ha ! On a whole nother deal. I am SO pale. I have my sleeves rolled up. Where did all my freckles go ? Please don't split this .. haha
I think you can buy spray on freckles at WalMart :) :)

girl, i was just thinking that myself ! the would probably be cheap too. They might not match though. i can't wait for summer either. it is a gorgeous day here... could it be Spring... ahhh yes.
OK then gault. Strange thing to say but it is not your fault. I won't personally take that as an insult. haha.I am a danged poet !

Since men can post, perhaps the forum name needs to be changed to "women's issues".

"Since men can post, perhaps the forum name needs to be changed to 'women's issues'".
.....They put up fences to keep me out or to keep mother nature in,
If God was here he'd tell it to your face, "Man, you're some kind of sinner"......
To some "No Trespassing" means "Come See What You're Missing".
Won't work either way, I'm afraid.

It's not supposed to do anything but better describe the forum. :rolleyes:
I simply stay out of the Women's Forum.
I've been a part-time bootfitter for about 8 years. I have fitted thousands of men's and women's feet with the best footwear available at my store for the particular foot shape and need of my customers.
My wife often mentions that someone has posted asking about footwear recommendations in the Women's Forum. She'll ask what I would recommend. I tell her I recommend that women who want my advice post in the Gear Talk Forum.
that is OK gault. it is all good..:)

That is DIRTY and NASTY of all things Sorry to you my opinion. Correct me if I am wrong but Humans are the only animal that will defecate in the same place it lives. And people are talking about carrying it on there back " I carry my dirty TP out of the woods" OMG! How gross is that and us guys are rude and Nasty! HA

I will take your word as far as the "just kidding" goes. Your humor is just a little grittier than some folks care to hear. Just because someone reacts negatively to your humor doesn't mean that they can't take it. In reference to the remark you made about another member's (supposedly) bland taste in food - we all like different things - we can't expect everyone else to like them (think religion and politics :rolleyes:). You just have to be a little more careful what you say and to whom. You're probably a decent guy who generally has the best interest of others in mind. First impressions, unfortunately, are longer lasting than those made afterward.
As far as people here knowing how to read, generally I don't think that's a problem. The problem is, more often than not, that many of us have not been taught how to communicate to a broad audience.
Punctuation, spelling, and grammar are apparantly not as important to folks as they were when I was a kid. I would've flunked out of elementary school if my English was as poor then as the majority of what I see on this and many other websites I've visited. A good solid grasp of your own language and how to use it go a long way toward establishing you as an intelligent person to folks who haven't met you in person. Math may make money, but good grammar makes a good impression.
FWIW, you're as welcome here as anyone else. I hope to meet you in the future.:)

The couch (in some womens' restrooms) is for waiting (once they finish waiting outside). "Number 1" takes more time for them than for us.
Plus, we generally don't care what we look like because we generally don't care what people think of us. Kinda sad, but basically true.:rolleyes:

Lots of men have been brainwashed into always putting the toilet seat down. FYI, it works both ways.
So, watch where you're "going", look before you leap...and do what you need to first. That goes both ways, too...
Actually the couch in women's restrooms are for nursing moms.

When you're out there on the trail, people aren't nearly so PC. That's the difference between the real world and any place in Cyberland. I suspect 90% of the bickering that occurs here wouldn't happen on the trail because there is then a real human right there in someone's face. I may be a dinosaur, but there was never any contention when I thru-hiked a decade ago like there is most days here on WB. I doubt the actual trail has changed that much.
lol camel....don't go getting defensive on me . This such a touchy subject.. the whole seat up and down thing. I must say it IS very polite when you guys do it. It says something about what kind of man you are. Please, don't say that chivalry is dead. I may be a hardy hiker but I still like to feel cared for sometimes. geez, nothing wrong with that I hope.

Well, actually, historically they're a holdover from earlier times and are known as a "fainting couch". Seriously, corsets, anemia, and such from the 19th century actually led to a lot of fainting and created a demand for them. They eventually made their way into the ladies' rooms in public places do keep them more "private". The chaise type couches used are mostly gone, but the custom of putting a couch in the ladies room remains. Note that they do have other adapted uses these days, such as a place to pump if nursing, etc.
Sometimes you guys impress the heck outta me . how did you know THAT ?..lol

Just more useless knowledge filling my brain. If I ever get on Jeopardy I'll run the Victorian bathroom category.
An HR director actually told me about it years ago when a bunch of us in maintenance were wondering why the **** the ladies room in the front office had a little waiting room with a couch in it.
if you ever get on jeopardy let me know..:)
I want a separate forum for people who enjoy couches in restrooms, they sell them at Walmart don't they? :)

Actually, I think both the seat, and the lid, should be put down after use. It would save lots of argument.

Once they train you to put the seat down, they try to get you to shut the door.

Definitely true in privies. Improves the smell. Keeps snow from accumulating on the seat.
I don't really have to worry about this up here cuz we don't have a septic and pee outside..or in a jug in here and then pitch out...yikes ! since we are on this subject , I rarely sit anyhow. I am a hoverer..:)

You're just a show off that you are sooo mature, thoughtful and nice. I hate that...it makes me look so bad. I've spent a life time practicing messing up the laundry and vacuuming which has convinced every woman that I'm hopeless. Every guy who puts the seat down makes it hard on the rest of us because it gives women hope that they can train us.:)

All it takes is breaking some glasses. Then you can run down to WalMart and get a whole box of glasses for under $10. Money well spent right there. To nail it down you can offer to buy some of those plastic unbreakable cups from the camping section. By the time her tic goes away you've joined the "guy club."

Actually cooking is the man job, men naturally cook better. Look at all the famous chefs, they're all men. Because we like to eat, much more than women, and we know what to do with food to make it really good to eat. Most wives cook because the man goes to work and doesn't have the time. Do you let your wife grill on the barbe during cookouts?
Women rule the relationship, for real !. Hey Tinker don't you go changing a thing..these boys should be asking you for domestic advice..:) other Mowgli who seems to have everything together...:)

1) I've done enough changing! I'm old and set in my ways. Don't miss the testosterone one bit (still have enough to keep the wife happy;)).
2) Women know what a "relationship" IS! Guys don't have a clue until a woman gives it to them (beats it into their thick skulls).
3) One thing women don't seem to be aware about concerning men:
They (we) don't ASK for advice!:cool:
It's usually only heeded After the damage has been done.
Thick sculls are only an advantage in hunting wooly mammoth and bar brawls (and maybe after realizing how STUPID we have been :datz).:-?
Ya know, you are right. Most men don't seem to understand the workings of a relationship.. or maybe the WORK that has to be involved. We all ( hopefully ) get better at it as we get older. I have.. thank God. I don't ask for too much anymore and I don't PINE for attention etc. That has definitely taken the pressure off of both of us. he doesn't hike BUT he " gets it " about me truely loving it. I can't ask for more then that.

You can figure that out but if you do you'll have to sit down to pee. That's secret stuff between Wal Mart and the women. All you need to know is how much it costs you.:)
we only have 1 cleaning agent.. maybe 2. it works on everything doesn't it ? nothing looks esp. clean around here now that I think about it.
