I remember once being invited into a game of strip poker, and then to my horror finding that all of the people playing were male (and as far as I know - heterosexual)... but anyway, I personally dont feel the need to have a "men only" forum, and I also dont personally see the value if the "women only" forum, but I dont object to it and it doesnt bother me in any way.

I completely agree with the OP. Ever since I got here I thought a Men's lounge would be a good idea. I'm a female, btw. Sure, the rest of the board or the internet might be mostly male, and we totally talk about boobs and dick size, but it would be nice for guys to have a safe space to talk to guys about guy stuff without having to worry about being called down or judged by women for their fears, or thoughts or whatever. I'd support a Men's Lounge. Full fourced.

A Men Lounge would be appropriate and fair.

The whole site, with exception of the LL, is a mens lounge.

Why do you feel it's needed? Is there something that you don't want female input on?

I read this for the first time. It is so surreal that it needs to be put in a sitcom, or a movie, or something. Just share it already. I couldn't help grinning at what the scene must have looked like, complete with closeups of SF's face, and perhaps choice bits of dialogue as 2 completely incompatible world views collided.

As for the Men's Lounge idea - if I want that kind of thing I'll go sit on the porch with the dog while holding a drink in my hand. Manly enough for me.

No - now you are just messing with me. Swear on everything I own that I've already read this [near-]exact quote 2-3 years ago in this very same discussion.

(yes. I'm looking back on the entire thread to try and find the most similar: I was banking on Cynthetiq, The_Jazz, MSD or B_G stating it so succinctly, back in 2008 or so I'm half-remembering it.)

I used to wish the Ladies lounge had some highlight to it or perhaps a secret handshake for entry. I've wandered in there more then once by accident and posted. I've learned, I hope. I still find myself reading a title of a new thread in there and think "that looks interesting" and end up in there, but lately I've caught myself and left.

Women are the minority gender on TFP. Some of the best, most wonderful people on TFP are women, but they are not in the majority. They need a room to talk in. They need a club. It's a matter of evening things out a bit. I say kudos to them, and I hope they all enjoy the lounge.
