the lovely bellaruth said: I think I'm the only girl here, and I only joined recently (as a mistake! Thought it was a general 'going abroad' forum!). Before then it was just men. You might have seen nice replies, but I got a lot of negativity when I joined. One user even quit the forum, and I read a lot of comments saying I shouldn't be here at all. Some were direct personal insults.
I only stayed because I was asked to by the admin as it adds diversity to the forum, otherwise I would have left (not in outrage, but because I was told/felt this should be a kind of 'locker room' for men).
I've noticed a lot of interest in new male members but they don't always formally introduce themselves.
I think the reason why I got a lot of replies was because it was a novelty and a controversy. No one wanted to win any favours. If anything I feel as if I'm forcing myself in a little here, still.
f**k those idiots. i never came to these forums for gay locker room talk. I actually came here to see if people would bash winston. The boards grew and became more entertaining. There is tons of stupid morons here like in life but who said you should let your life be run by them? I never thought this site to be all male. In fact i actually hoped for women's prospective. I can never just see one's side of the coin. Its stupid people sent you stupid messages like that and that they werent banned. I wouldve. This forum should be for all except spammers and arguers with no merits of course. Im glad you stayed otherwise we wouldve never come across enjoy your stay here.
