The Females

Notice a lot more gals posting on this board. I'm not a card caring memeber of the "he man woman haters club" or anything but it is good to have a place for the men, and only the men, to post. I'm sure they lurk as I do on some board where I do not post but is still good to have posts from the guys when we have questions about guy things.
Guess there is not a lot to be done.
Not complaining just saying......

IMHO some of it they are just replying to a post seen elsewhere on OH not realizing it was posted originally on the Men's Board.  You don't want to jump their asses and be rude but at the same time they are in OUR space.  

Why don't we want to jump their asses?  Sounds like it may be fun.  

I have to say, I've noticed a ton of drama on a lot of the other boards from all the women.  Wow...

So long as it doesn't become a regular event...  It's good to have a place where we can scratch our bits without guilt!! 

What other boards are available?  Just curious as this is the only one I know about.  I have to admit that there does seem to be more drama sometimes on the non-men side of this bb sometimes.  It can be interesting to watch from behind the scenes.

While I appreciate your post, I do agree with TXX.  Most of the women who do post here are not the ones who lurk.  You can generally tell from their responses that they are unaware that they are responding to the Men's Forum.  You may wonder how this is possible.  Just look under you own Friends link and you will see recent comments made by your Friends.  If you simply Reply to their comments rather than linking to their Contact, they will get a copy of your post, but your post reply will also show up on whatever Forum your Friend was commenting on.  With most other Forums, it doesn't matter.  However, we do want to keep our Men's Forum just for Men's responses.

Once in a while we have to address this problem.  However, when you consider the thousands of women actively on OH, a couple posts by women can be tolerated.  We just have to continue to point this out.

Although this is the only Men's Forum, there were ( and, maybe still are) some Men's Groups.  with the Groups, the moderator of the Group can determine who is admitted to the Group.  Thus, in a Men's Group, the moderator can restrict membership to men only.  I had been in a group run by BigAL29 but I don't even know if that group is still active.  Al had some problems with the group at first because he was plagued by illnesses.

I think you can look up Groups and search for Men's groups.  You may be able to Google Men's Bariatric Forums or Groups.  I say "maybe" because I haven't and I'm satisfied here.  The main reason I stay here and don't look elsewhere is that this is the one spot that most men will eventually find on OH for Men.  Even though I've had problems staying on a clean post-op program ( my friend commented that that may be due to my mental condition and my food addiction), I've been a member of OH since July 2000.  I've read thousands of posts and I can often help others.  I continue to occasionally mention here that any women who want to write to me should Contact me directly and not post here.

The women are starting to learn their place but some will never get it. The reply to friend option really has screwed the place up a bit.
