I mostly see a community/friends biases in play, yes.

The point is that the community/friends biases are themselves skewed toward women, in some cases. There are regular members here who behave very much as if they want TPF to be them, two or three male friends at most, and all the women, especially the new ones. They behave as if all women are their friends, to the extent that I suspect strongly that we lose female members regularly who are not willing to put up with creeps "flirting" with them all the time. They also behave as if virtually no men are their friends. I like women too, but I'm not a jerk to men in hopes of persuading them to please leave so that I can mack on the women like a slobbering old fool all damn day long uninterrupted.

The creeps are my favorites!

This is why I get all the nudies sent to my via PM. Thanks, baby cakes....:hug::

Are you including Canada in that?

Yes, although I understand there are some differences.... bacon being an example that springs to mind having seen numerous posts on this apparently touchy cross-border subject.

I love freedom. Freedom to ignore, freedom to comment, freedom to participate or not. Freedom to search for another forum or create my own. Freedom to privately message someone if I like or don't like something they have written.

Yes...I love Amurica to.

"They're called boobs, Ed."


How would this scene had gone down if her boss, Ed had visited the Water Board?


It goes both ways.
Preferrential treatment? Many times
Not being respected for one's talent? Many times

Exactly! Love that movie.

Cheap out with bacon because I haven't been here long enough to notice it if it is happening. But on most forums I frequent, any female usually gets the slobber treatment.

In all honesty, if I truly felt that someone was being "creepy" I would tell them right then and there. There would be no beating around the bush. There would be no tattle telling. There would be none of that stuff. We are all adults, and if someone can't handle playful fun then they know how to log out. Simple as that. This forum is based on building relationships with people who share a common interest which is photography. We then find out that a lot of us share other common interests that spread way beyond that. Which is amazing. This is the common course if human nature. Let it ride......

Creepiness is in the eye of the beholder. While it is wonderful that you're willing to simply confront people you perceive as creepy, you might find that other people would behave differently. For example, by logging out.

Aren't you contributing to the special treatment by coming to the rescue of the female members?

Amolitor, if you're trying to get me to flirt with you, you're gonna have to work it a bit more.
