Uh (or duh, as the case seems to be), I just gave someone some advice and then I realized all of the names here are women.

Sorry ladies; I thought this was a unisex thing. Actually, I didn't think anything; I did a search earlier today on google and this board popped up, so I logged on. I was really starting to enjoy it, then I realized it is all women. Not that it isn't a great place, but we all need our places of respite.

Thanks for all of the advice I received here earlier, I do appreciate your insight and I consider myself fortunate that you are all so good natured and helpful.

Thank you again.

I'm not a board administrator, but there are other guys here, and I think we could use more. Please stick around.

Actually, I have always thought of the word "Chick" as a term of endearment; it is very complementary and it implies light-hearted fun to every woman I have ever known. I always use it with great respect and admiration.

Perhaps we just grew up in different neighborhoods.

Really!!!! I'm glad you clarified that...I was giving you a hard time tongue in cheek, but I've never thought of calling a woman a "chick" as *remotely* complimentary!!!

well, idarkhorse, welcome to the board!


No, not all of the people here are women (although, iVillage began as a women's network there are more and more men here every day) - I am one of the lucky men here surroundded by all of these women!


Stick around, you will find it to be a great place to visit. And, you will also find that there are many other boards with men on them (look at the links in my signature for a few).


As far as names go... it is hard to tell from user names who is male and who is female sometimes, so, don't jump to conclusions! Just jump in and enjoy!


The beauty of these boards is that advice comes from all over the world and from every background and experience you can imagine. There really are no barriers here and, in fact, on one of the boards I am on we have men ranging in age from 18 to 74!


Glad to have you with us!
