Where are all the guys?

[kingleds]

Well im here anyway but sad to hear that people have been leaving the forums, i must admit it seems a lot quieter than it was when i originally started using it about 3 years ago.

Cant anyone make contact with the people who left to see whats wrong?

Hi Paul. Most of them are still here, they just don't post on any threads except their own diaries and those of people they know already. There has been a marked increase in the number of people who take offence at the tiniest perceived insult, and many of the older members have had enough of being told they are being rude, when they aren't. They have decided its not worth posting anymore as result.

Its a real shame, as people are missing out on a load of support and knowledge.

Dipped my toes in here a while ago but you're stuck with me now, I'm SW for life!

Think this is a great site and use it in some way every day, taking a bit of a scenic route to goal but getting there

I am still here after nearly 1 year on SW!
Lost just over 6st to date and wondering if I should loose a bit more, maybe 1/2 stone more as I cannot stay on Target!
I am also thick skinned so if you want to criticize me or any of my recipes then go ahead, but please explain what you are criticizing! I am adding posts most days, see you soon.

I have to say I have been a "stalker" of some recent interesting threads, and WOW some people ARE touchy!! I admire your patience I agree men are a bit more thick skinned LOL!

I think there's a law against stalking!! haha

It's been unreal hasn't it, you can't say boo without offending someone!!

Yeah the more men the better, need a few thick skinned people on here!!

Mwahahahahahahahahahahaha

Can people not draw a line under it and move on, laughing and being snidey about it is making it become a bullying issue enough is enough, yes some people are sensitive but thats why some of them are on here for help and support, thats all people want i know some that wouldn't be on here if they were not feeling a little vunerable, its called low self esteem and isn't a laughing matter so enough is enough

You clearly can't so STOP this now!!!! Enough is enough!!!!!!! I'm starting to think you lurk round the boards trying to find posts you can find fault with and accuse people of being nasty/bullying etc everyone has had enough, you drag up the past and just can't let it lie!!! I said it before you have a chip on your shoulder that seriously needs removing before you start major uproar on this forum, no-one wants it and no-one needs it, this is a place for people to come to when they want help & support not to read the same posts by you dragging up the past!!! get over it now LMD before someone says something they may regret!!!!

LMD - there are ways to do this without taking over a thread. The report button, a PM, the ignore list will all accomplish the same thing - you feelign like you have stuck up for people, without escalating a situation.

Can we all just act a bit more like grown ups please?

Gents- there is a long term member of the forum called Maximus. He is funny, intelligent, has lost a shed load of weight on SW and has successfuly maintained for a while. If you PM him he might come out to play
