where can i find a daddy forum?

[koopahsdaddy]

looking for a fathers forum only girls here dont give us dads a chance to post with out gettin involved

really would like to talk to other dads see how they are coping and how father hood has changed there life for the better

we have a 6 month old boy

[3boysnpregnant]

I dont think we can recommend other parenting forums on here.

Although I find your post a little offensive.. Without getting involved.. Oh bubhub we try to include everyone... It would be silly to leave a thread where someone is asking for advice just because he is a man..

[Pinkzy]

I'm on Google at the moment trying to find some sort of fathers only forum and it's not looking good...there is one but it's based in the UK. Everything else I'm finding are blogs written by dads and chat rooms for dads...sorry I can't help :(

[Pinkzy]

Just found one that you might like, will PM you the link.

ETA: I can't PM you, it doesn't have that option under your name. Am I allowed to mention the website here?

[koopahsdaddy]

its offensive to me that no man gets to have a chat about being a father yet ladys have the whole forum u and i both know there is 90% ladys be on here and its not fair that i cant say what i want in case it offends women . i dont mind gettin a girls perspective on things but some things u just wanna talk with guys about

. for exaple a guy dont want to here when u girls are on ur periods
just like a girl wouldnt like to know when we get boners

as i wrote want to know guys thoughts on being a dad how it changed there lifes how it makes them feel as a girl u cant answer that for a guy

pm it to melaniejoelkoopah
thats my missus she will pass it to me if u can if thats not to much touble

There is a Dad's section here. It's no where near as active as the main forum but it's there.

[sweetseven]

There used to be a passwordlocked men only section that you had to PM bigbadbrad to ask for the password.

I dont know if it still exists or has been removed due to political problems (other subforums were asking for their own private sections also). I'm not male so never asked for the password.

MummaTissy, I think the OP is complaining that even in the Dad's section, generally posts from females outnumber males by at least 2:1. (That is my observation, no I haven't done a proper analysis to get the numbers.) I will however comment that when women post in this section they do tend to be (IMHO) respectful and polite.

On a more lighthearted note, I'm sure if you were polite and respectful you would be welcomed in the Cloth Pad subforum. And if you wish to talk about boners, well there is a thread on Self Pleasure that has had a lot of traffic today.

pm it to melaniejoelkoopah

Done :thumbsup:

[koopahsdaddy]

i can understand it but when it was in the dads only one there was no guys posted in it only ladys
that was a turn off to me
as women can complain guys dont get involved but we would if u let some guys write in there befor taking over the whole thread

[koopahsdaddy]

Done :thumbsup:
:yelclap:THANK YOU :sunshine:

[Pinkzy]

No probs :)

Hey peeps I'm a new member just feeling my way around the site.

Koopahsdaddy i agree with your sentiment in terms of wanting a place where you feel you're talking to like minded people who share your trials and tribulations and may be more likely to understand your perspective. For this reason I think there's no harm in having a bloke-only part. Some of the female members might be put out by this but it is important to remember that we're a significant minority and a sense of community does need to be fostered how ever we can.

I'm sure all the ladies on here are lovely though.

But having said the above I don't think you should be worried about offending any women with your views or issues raised - if the title of the thread is descriptive enough then if they read it and dont like it, too bad. If you call a thread "most awkward boner moments" or "hottest preggos" and the opposite sex takes offense to the content, well, they knew what they were getting in to and we can probably just ignore their comments!!

Anyway that's my 2 cents.

[RaryGirl]

If you would like a place where just Dad's can chat you are most welcome to create a Social Group (http://www.bubhub.com.au/community/forums/group.php). The threads and discussions are viewable by members of the groups only.

Hope that helps. :)

[naebie]

As a female member, I often see threads in this section going unanswered, and I kind of figure that if it were me who had posted and not received a single response that I would rather someone to reply, even if they weren't my target audience.

I'll keep my big nose out of this section now :p

[Voltron]

bigger and koops - speak to bigbadbrad about the dads who post social group.

[bigbadbrad]

Dad's who post social group growing nicely just PM me any blokes that you think we should invite!

Well that one is easy fixed - don't open the threads :D

[bigbadbrad]

Love the Sparkly Undies, I do not post too often but I am always watching (imagine spooky evil cackle here for best effect)!!!

[Benji]

I like having the men on the forum.. :) brad this is the most I've seen you post for awhile...good to see you making use of those pink, sparkly undies!

I do too! I don't understand the need for special treatment though. Women obviously felt the need for parenting forums (considering we still do the vast majority of parenting) so we made them.

There's plenty of ways to create your own forum, if men want a forum about fatherhood - make one :)

[DQ]

I agree :)

Us woman aren't all the same, I don't think :D

I like having the dad's around. I hope you can make the social group work because it would be a big loss to BH should you all dissappear.

Good luck :)

Hi Benji,

I need to make a point very clearly here.........

The Bub Hub is a PARENTING forum not a Mothers forum or a Fathers forum!

It is a place for ALL parents to get and give advice or a very wide range of parenting issues in a safe environment

We set up the Forum to help all parents..... not subsets of the parenting spectrum, everyone who posts in an appropriate manner is welcome!

Oh no, I totally agree with you! I like that we have members from all walks of life. And some aren't even parents!

But I don't understand all the complaining.

I mean, I wouldn't join an open car forum (presuming most of the members would be male) and start throwing my weight around saying there needs to be a password protected area for women only where I can discuss my Ford Festiva.

Men can discuss their boners in the Dads Chat and I really can't imagine women responding inappropriately considering we discuss vaginal prolapses etc.

[FullTimeDada]

Hi Benji,:wave:

Your a funny lady, :D I agree don't know what all the fuss is about.. I started a thread recently "men behaving nervously" only got a few responses all from women but they confirmed my thoughts on the subject and were helpful never the less ..surely this site is one big happy open forum? and you can comment on what ever grabs you :yes: thanks, for making us smile ...FTD

[bumMum]

I imagine that the need for a private closed group is for the same reason there are women and mens health centres, gyms, support groups, why there are aboriginal mothers groups and young mothers groups.. Because sometimes people need a private space to discuss things they might not want to share with everyone and anyone.. And their issues are specific to that group of people. its a safe space. Unless you have ever felt that way it would be hard to understand. Sounds like the mens social group would be a good way to start op and good luck

I'm a fan of a men-only section for the simple fact that sometimes we just like to chat to each other, and not get a woman's opinion. If I want to get a woman's opinion, I'll talk to my wife....!

I appreciate the women on the board, and I appreciate the need for a woman's input on matters, but sometimes guys like to talk to guys rather than talk to women. It's just how it is - it's not a good thing or a bad thing; it's just a thing.

[DaddyLarge]

I don't think that a discussion is ever better when you exclude people from participating purely because they don't fit a certain demographic. To my mind, if there's a topic and you have something constructive to add - go nuts. It's not as though opinions are often gender specific, anyway.

Of course, what's sauce for the goose etc. It's a bit laughable to barrel into one section that doesn't pertain to you, and then carry on about how another group should get a super duper special private section that is off-limits to everyone else.

Discussion is best when it involves as many as possible. Even if some of the "many" don't agree with you.
