I voted a couple of days ago, but thought I would explain the reasoning behind my "yes" vote.

I do think a male support forum would be a nice addition to this site. My only concern would be the word "only" in the title, it does sound rather excultionary. Maybe the title "Male Forum", with a brief description of its' purpose (like all the other forum titles have), would be better.

I believe that males do present a set of issues that are specific to their sex. Be it the conditioning when they are young to be tough, unemotional and not to ask for help, or just that it is uncomfortable to share some problems in an overwhelmingly female environment, I think they deserve a private place to talk among themselves.

Maybe a forum of their own will only be needed in the beginning of their visits to this site. I would think that after building up their confidence among themselves, they would be more likely to stay and share on the other forums as well..........I hope.

Well again, this is just my own humble opinion .

Take care everyone.
