After first reading this thread to where it went on about 'pro-ana' and I lost interest, I went on the other side and the first three profiles that came up said ' no men/males etc'. I could not help thinking after reading what I had, was the profiles that came up genuinely women that did not wish for communication with men, or a bunch of wankers looking for fodder. Perhaps reading this thread has tainted me, to think the latter, but I do genuinely believe there are people on here that do not wish communication from men. I believe this, because I know what men can be like, I am one. Men it seems will go to all lengths when the fire is in the blood, and posing as another sex, I would not put it past us. As to those that feel they have to put ' no men', perhaps it is that reading lesbian, is obviously not clear enough for some people, or if not lesbian, they might be in a situation where they choose not to identify as lesbian, but would simply like to meet their own sex, and there is no harm in that. But from a viewers perspective, being confronted with the bold,' No men ' tends to send out, at least to me that men are seen as a pariah, best avoided. But surely, we are not all bad, there are people on the other side that obviously are there to harass, but there are also others that mean no harm, it is a shame all men are lumped together, one bastard can ruin it for all. But what gets me sometimes, is where a person seeks friends only, even people who frequent these forums, one clicks their profile to be confronted with the '' No men '' and the thinking is, should I go through with the message I was going to send to say prior to the '' No Men '' that I commend them on their thoughtful words, or is my message going to be wasted words as a bulk filter might be in place. To remember, even known people one converses regularly on forums, might be of the undesired sex, and so what can be well meant, the site program does not recognise forum people from their sex and into the bin they go, along with the wankers.
