Direction,

I don't think the men's forum is shallow. There's no way to know why there weren't any replies there right away. That happens in all the forums though....A lot of times when I'm browsing a forum, if I see 17 views and 0 replies, I'll go read and if I have something to say, I'll reply just to get that 0 off of there. But if I don't have anything substantial to say, I still won't reply. It could simply be that the men didn't know what to say, or maybe they were checking in and didn't have time to reply. I know for me, a lot of times I'm checking in without a lot of time, so I won't have time to reply.

I know that the men's forum can be slow sometimes, simply because there aren't as many men on the site as there are women. Those 17 views could have been from women too....we can view there, we just can't post. So that would also partly explain the 0 replies.

So I hope that you can forgive the men's forum and try it again. Its also only a few months old. Maybe some of the men on the site, especially the new ones, haven't seen it.

As far as the question about the woman, I agree with the other posters. Go out and see what happens! You never know....could be true love.

Anyway, I just wanted to put a defender for the men's forum out there and try to explain a little about possibilities for 0 replies. I don't think they're shallow at all.

Thanks,
Rayna
