Gender question

Post: # 129785Post Annpan »

I was just wondering where ish falls in the gender balance? Seems there are more women on here these days, I think we used to have more men...

I quite like the fact that you odn't actually know for sure i don't really like putting peple in a box very often don't notice colour, creed, sex etc until it's pointed out to me. I firmly believe I shoudl treat everyone equally. The only thing that bothers me is if poeple then get offended that I ignore their uniqueness...

notice/pay attention to :lol: - does it matter if a woman looks like a bloke or a bloke looks a bit feminine? I don't adjust my responses to people based on their gender and appearance...

Oh, Cassie, I hope you don't think I was trying to put people in boxes.... I was interested more in where the devide lies, than specific people... please don't feel offended, it was not my intention. :flower: :flower: :flower:

Maybe, i'm being a bit controversial here, but the 'Ish site seems as though it has become more of a social forum, whereby some men are uncomfortable expressing their feelings,etc. Also,there seems to be a nucleus of regular female correspondants which,maybe to some males,can be a bit of a daunting prospect. I've no doubt someone will tell me that i'm wrong,but it's just a observation.
it's either one or the other, or neither of the two.

Well that fell a bit flat. :scratch:
I was just trying to point out that I'm sure I've noticed every time I've had sex.

I couldn't :mrgreen:

We do seem to be attracting more females these days. I have noticed the same effect on the Aussie site I visit. Not sure why, I would have thought this stuff was of concern to both sexes......

I think it is to do with society as it seems we have broken away from the old age gender roles of women should be in the home/cooking/cleaning/looking after the kids while the men folk earn a crust/work the land etc, thefreedom of it all is going to attract the members of the opposite sex as to which they were assigned.

I do not & have never liked stereotypes & I'm pleased people are willing to break them.
