Men on TE?

[jobob]

LeeBob occasionally lurks on the California forum, to find out what rides we'll be doing, because sometimes I forget to tell him. oops.

But he says he's not at all interested in the general forum. Not disparagingly so, it's just not his cup of tea.

And he really likes all the TE gals he's met, and their friends and SO's.

I know I've said this before, but one time we were driving home from a TE group get-together, and he mentioned something along the lines of "you're so lucky, you've met so many great people from that internet forum, and there doesn't seem to be an axe murderer in the bunch !"

Roadfix is a declared guy, but he gave me wonderful advice when I posted a query on a fixie conversion for my son. He tends to hang out mostly in the maintenance forum. We had a lengthy discussion on this topic in the past, and I think the consensus was that the group was comfortable with guys posting as long as they conformed to the 'culture' here, which is more supportive and respectful than many mixed sex forums.

Hehehe

Just as well he's only met me the once then...

Welcome boy in a kilt ! I've just read some of your recent posts today and find that yours, Mr. Silver, and some other men on the board offer a refreshing perspective. And always respectful. As long as respect is maintained by male posters, I am fine with that. Yes I also remember Roadfix as well, he answered a question of mine once. Sometimes when there are "anonymous" posters I think I can tell that they are men. The anonymous ones seem to post infrequently, but I say I think I can tell sometimes because these posters "speak" differently.

Well, there's me too among the estrogen-deficient few; but I try to behave myself. And regular access to my bike usually suppresses the axe-murdering urges...

I had my DH post for me when I was on my solo tour a few years ago. Though he posted under my name, he was careful to identify himself. It seemed to go over well.

Every now and again I'll point him to a thread he'd be interested in, but I don't think he visits otherwise. Just not his cup of tea.

On the axe murderer thought:

'Way back when DH & I were about to get married, a mutual friend pulled me aside and warned me that DH probably was/is an axe murderer, 'cause he's too nice to be real. Really - I'm not making this up!

I went ahead and married him anyway, but I've kept the axes away from him. Don't want him murdering any axes, now, do I?

Supportive. That's the key. We share information, insight, inspiration, positive support, etc.

My DH posted once. To thank the TE girls for their support as he went through a cancer scare. Lucky for us it was just a scare, but your thoughts, words, positive vibes, prayers, wishes, butterflies, helped us both get through that dark short chapter of our lives.

As long as we keep it supportive it's all good, right?

Hugs and butterflies,
~T~

Murdering axes... and swords... and helmets with horns...

LOL - ask Lee but I think I might have looked a little like an axe murderer yesterday while we riding and thinking where is the Bl**dy turn for the finish.

[Wahine]

I loooooooooove men in kilts.

That Utilikily website is a little like soft core porn for me.

Knott. I have you to blame. DH is geting a Utilikilt for his b-day.

I'm here but I work hard to keep a low profile and not make an *** out of myself. I hang out on a few forums that are pretty rough so I get my thrills there and try and keep it clean here. As one who is trying to put together a womens only ride, I'd rather not have potential customers trying to kill me before they meet me. I don't mind if they try and kill me after a few beers though

[El Hombre]

too funny. I'm not used to forums that have a naughty word filter

[Zen]

I'm here but I work hard to keep a low profile...

That's the idea. As in any situation in life, men or women, you don't want to overuse a privilege.

[SouthernBelle]

I have a friend who lurks here on occasion. He says he just can't post here. Wouldn't be right. :lol:
