Susan, I don't mean to be a tattle tale, but why are SO MANY women posting in the Man Room? Is the request for us to refrain from posting there no longer in effect, or just not being honored?

My guess is that people might not know that something is posted in a specific gender area. I think most people read posts by looking at what's new in the RH side of posts, and you don't really see there what forum something has been posted in.

Yet here you are.

but why are SO MANY women posting in the Man Room? Is the request for us to refrain from posting there no longer in effect, or just not being honored?

I have questions for you - are any of the men complaining about it? Then why is this so important to you? Why is this your business?

This and maybe we (men) value and enjoy womens' opinions so much that we don't mind you participating in our posts in the men's area.

Actually, we do have quite a few men and women complain to us about this. There is only one area of the entire forum that is restricted to woman only, and one area that is restricted to men only. This is so members may discuss gender specific issues with each other, without the fear of a member of the opposite sex coming in and embarrassing them, turning it into a joke (as we have seen happen quite often), etc. Therefore, we do ask that our members respect our rule that the powder Room is for woman only, and the Men's Room is for men only. We do our best to enforce this, but cannot be everywhere at once, and count on our members to let us know when other members are in violation of this.

The new app doesn't show which forum the post is in.

Wouldn't it make sense to make the sections invisible to the opposite sex? Until then, it's going to keep happening.

I bet I'm not the only one that will turn a blind eye to a woman commenting in the men's section.

Good luck.

We plan on putting this into play but it's going to be 2-3 months before it's actually in place. Until that time, we ask our members to try their best to follow our rules and guidelines when posting within these forums.

Sheesh, ever think of changing your name to "Don RUDE-olfo". I was just trying to clarify what the situation was (possibly a technical issue), since it seemed to me the expectation had been outlined pretty clearly in the room's description.

I don't belong in the Men's Room because I don't have a d**k. Same reason I won't engage in a pissing match with you. Thank you, Alex and Susan, for answering my question.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
