So my girl has a very interesting point about the internet - do you agree? - GoFuckYourself.com

luv$ · 08-20-2005, 10:20 PM

We were talking about how review sites and message boards were much more popular for men than they were for women.

She suggested that the reason why is because women typically have girlfriends to talk openly about their feelings with, so that's where they vent, share thoughts/opinions first; while men primarily do these things (and feel the most comfortable) anonymously over the internet.

That because men amongst themselves are'nt as open as women, this is what drives the popularity of forums/review sites...

I thought it was an interesting take, and I can see the logic. What do you think?

mrthumbs · 08-20-2005, 10:21 PM

Girls arent interested in postcount and have lifes. That basicly sums it all up.

JD · 08-20-2005, 10:23 PM

how many women do you see reading newpapers? Exactly like 1% of women. Listen to Tom Lykeis sometimes. Talks about it all the time

women would rather "talk" about shit

OTerror · 08-20-2005, 10:24 PM

I agree 100%

To keep it close to the internet:

girls CHAT.. chat = simplifed and more direct message board.

It was funny I was at the airport. I look around all the guys are on their laptops. The women were all reading romance novels.

I have a magazine fetish, elle, glamour and decorating. I come here almost everyday and read this forum, like it's a magazine. You can tell, I read more than I post!

chase · 08-21-2005, 01:12 AM

Makes sense to me. I can't take most girls in large doses, so I don't really have any "girl talk" friends around. Hence, I turn to you GFY freaks for my interaction, haha.

ADL Colin · 08-21-2005, 03:16 AM

"Would you hit it?" formats better on a messageboard.

phonesex · 08-21-2005, 03:39 AM

Women...can never figure them out. Its just funny how they are so emotional. JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's not necessarily about reading - I don't know how that got interpreted from my post...

It's about writing reviews, complaining or praising a product on Amazon, cnet, gamespot, etc. AND/OR posting on messageboards (any message board, not just GFY).

That men make up the users who do this for the most part because they don't have an outlet or the conversational freedom of talking about their feelings and experiences with situations/products/people etc., but women do.

J-$ · 08-21-2005, 08:12 AM

lol i dont recall the last time ive shared my emotions with u guys... probably yall are just sissies and ur tryin to confuse me!! oh and btw if your gf thinks she's so fuckin good maybe she can run against hillary for president

so true..

woj · 08-21-2005, 09:33 AM

There are plenty of boards where mostly women participate, so I'm not exactly buying into your theory. Of course gfy is mostly men, but if you go to flower or cooking message board I'm sure it will be mostly women...

Rui · 08-21-2005, 09:36 AM

that actualy makes sense ;)

Men don't need hugs, verbal comfort from other men. We need tits to suck on and a nice hard body to squeeze.

So as far as the male bonding text is fine with me. <high five>

Reminds me of Trains, Planes, and Automobiles... "THOSE ARENT PILLOWS!"

My mom reads the entire newspaper every morning religiously. In fact, if they don't deliver it, she gets pissy and she will go out to buy it.

sean416 · 08-21-2005, 09:45 AM

I dont think theres much truth to it. It's not like we're in touch with our feelings here on GFY. The convos on here are the same shit I talk about with friends. You girl is saying we don't openly discuss our feelings amongst friends so we come online to do it anonymously, but how many people here do you see discussing their feelings? It's all would you hit it, pwned and other bullshit threads.

I think the reason women don't use message boards is because there's not as many women who use computers to make money. Most women in the 18-29 range who use computers regularily use them for hotmail and myspace. I don't mean to say this is true for all women, cause obviously there are women on GFY, I'm just talking about the majorities.

Nice to wake up and see your lovely post!

crazy lately, he has several new saying's!

Now, he says...Where's daddy?, lol...all day long!
Jake go bye-bye.
jake go car ride.
Jake go shower.

These are the G rated, sayings...LOL

MandyBlake · 08-21-2005, 11:07 AM

i guess i could agree with her for the most part.

but i DO care about my post count lol

tony286 · 08-21-2005, 11:07 AM

you make interesting points

chaze · 08-21-2005, 11:14 AM

I see her point, and I can see it covering most forums but GFY...

I would think most are here to bullshit inbetween their work projects on the internet. I'm thinking it's a break from whatever else they are doing on the internet for a while.

Then back to work.
