The Men's Fourm here at OH...
Hey Guys (men)...Just a reminder we have a Men's Forum here at OH. It is a great group of guys and very supportive. Check us out and bookmark it if you like what you see. Brian http://obesityhelp.com/forums/men/
For the longest time they have requested that it be a men's only forum. They don't mind women lurking or posting about how their boyfriend or husband is doing in the hospital or might be considering WLS...Things like that. But there are real connections being made there...Like on the Exercise and Fitness Forum (as you know). Some women come on there just to bait or be baited (insecure). When they come on the Men's Forum, I almost feel like they are trying to be rude...Like if a man were to post on the Main or RNY Forum to a question about a woman's cycle...No need to go there. It would just be insensitive I personally feel.
The Main and RNY Forums are made up of such a large percentage women, some (not all) men feel very comfortable at the Men's Forum. Things like; prostates, sports, etc...Guys enjoy the comrades...Like spitting, and punching each other in the shoulder...Saying "Yeah" a lot...

I like to play with girls 
But do need man time and contrary to what some of the guys who post negative about the mens forum say it is a place where you can rely on getting your butt kicked like only a guy can do. I have seen some on here post about how bad it is and you don't get help there but have never seen those guys post over there.
As for girls being allowed well there are a few I wouldn't care about but as a general rule no.
You immen should get a women's board where you can talk about your girly issues.
Wait scratch that if you did that I would get bored on theis forum.

Don't understand why some women get all pissed off about the exclusion - I went and had a nosey many many years ago and it was full of crotch scratching and dirty socks - a bit like my house full of men 
!!!
Was scared of getting an overwhelming need to kick feet out the way and get the vacuum out - ugh, will never venture in there again ...
Give me a good healthy whiff of oestrogen any day!

Carry on boys! I'm glad you have your "man cave" section....I did end up there accidentally once when I responded to something Paul posted....then I realized what I'd done....but I totally honor your space and stay away.
I also ended up in the Sex after WLS board once too because I have a naughty friend that hangs out there......whole nuther story..........
I'm also VERY glad that some of you get into the middle of many of the other discussions too....I like hearing the man's point of view!
I still think the exercise forum is THE BEST on this site.....so many awesome, accomplished folks there and so willing to lend a hand....which reminds me....I need to pop over and put in my exercise for the day!
