I know I'm only new here, so its probably not my place to say, but I'm going to say it anyway. Maybe its just me, but I get a little tired of reading threads in either "Ask the Girls" or "Guys" and people just don't pay attention to what category they are posting in (some of you are serial offenders). Half the time, I don't even look at the name of the person posting, I just like to read what they have to say. Then I double back only to realise that a dude has written what I just read in the girls section, and what a let down. Maybe I'm becoming a little intolerable in my old age, but it would be nice if the guys can avoid answering questions proposed to the girls and vice versa. I think its a simple request as the two cats are divided for good reason. We're not trying to split atoms here.

I am one who posts in both guys and girls threads. Sometimes I like to give answers to both sexes.

honestly, it bothers me too. i mean, if i post in the 'ask the guys' section, i really don't want another female's perspective on it. if i wanted her opinion, i would have posted it in the 'ask the gals' section.

i get what you're saying, but i think i'm an offender too... it's just that i don't really pay attention. i mean, i usually just click those scrolling links for whatever new/popular thread is going, and it's not immediately indicated on the home page scroll what's what. or, from someone's profile page... i'll usually check out their comments that are presented on THEIR page, and if it's funny, click the link for the forum from there. neither of those spots designated what the selection of the thread is, just its title. it only has the selection right there in one small line at the top of the actual forum, but that's so easily overlooked when you're coming from another link.



IF we all came on these through the ACTUAL forum selection list, then sure - i'd make fun of myself even more than i already do for posting on an "ask girls" thread.

it doesn't bother me so much to read one or the other's opinion. mostly. i think the idea is that the thread is DIRECTED more towards one or the other, and for the most part, that particular sex does do the majority of the responding.

..but, a rant's a rant... and i love a good rant!

I dont like ranting, but sometimes there is no other way to feel better. I wonder if there is a "Rant" thread where you can air your frustrations on the world. Bitch about that dickhead who cut you off changing lanes etc...would be great therapy..

So just to clarify, you have never posted in "ask the girls"? If my memory serves me correctly you have. Now you find it upsetting when other men do?

When you say you read someone's post and then realize they are a man afterward, don't you look at their AV? If it bothers you so much, can you not scroll past the opposite gender?

I admit that I am a repeat offender, most times I am replying to others in a thread to keep it FUN. I am sure many members come here to get away from"real life", to wind down and have a good laugh. Yes there is also some great advice posted there from both sexes as well. Take it for what it's worth I guess.

I say remove the division... lets create a unique category -- " ask a question" then we wont have this problem anymore...

I like that idea Fernando. We tried to keep them separated and ask that only the gender that it's directed to answer but, it came off as offensive and severe so most of us gave up.

I'm the same way. I don't always post in Ask the Guys, but I certainly have been known to post in there from time to time.

We had it like that, and kept getting people writing in the post headers, "Answers from Women Only Please" - it became too irritating, so I separated them, which makes more logical / structural sense.

That fact that people don't stick to the rules, is something I don't have much control over. Well, I do, but who wants a site owner / moderators to interfere in thread after thread...gets tiring for us too!

When I signed up, yeah, I'll admit to posting once or twice, rookie error. And I may pass a comment about another post that doesnt include an answer to the thread question, so Im with you in that regard. My point is if the question is directed to the girls I cant see why guys have to answer. A guy posting a direct reply in the "when did you last masturbate" thread for example in the girls section is just not necessary when that question exists in the "Ask The Guys" section. Thats all Im saying.

Edit: And just to clear something up, the "serial offender" comment was light hearted and very tongue in cheek and not a pot shot at anyone.

I agree with you SydneySider, it would be better if the correct gender only answered the questions directed at them, as per the original plan.

The reality is though, people seem to answer any questions about anything, regardless of who the question was originally aimed at, if it's of interest to them. Human nature I guess.

Yeah, I know. I just felt like having a rant about it.

what section should trannies and cross dressers post in or can they have their seperate threads too? and can we have one for bi women, straight women, and guy women, and the same for men, too? what about hermaphrodites!

You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.

If I see a question that I feel compelled to answer, I'll answer it. I generally don't look at what section it's in because, first and foremost, I'm too darn lazy, second I'm a rebel without a clue. Both of them add up to someone who posts willy-nilly.
