Men's Section...Pretty Please

[Gaffer 1]

I know there is the men's thread, btu I think a real great addition to this site would be a section for men to post issues specific to them & thier Lapband journey.

Thanks,

Andrew

I am well aware of the men's thread, but what I am hoping for is a section where men can post topics and start threads with issues realted to men kinda like the new life at goal or near goal section that was created.

This has been suggested before, and the sense among the moderators was that we didn't want to start creating support forums for all the various different groups that might spring up. Men, women, high-BMI, low-BMI, etc., would just splinter the main support area into special-interest groups. (Monthly support groups make sense, because people in those sections really do have everything in common, and what interests them ONLY interests them.)

The question becomes where do the special interests stop? Band-specific breakdowns seem logical, like Life at Goal, but drawing lines along gender or age or race or whatever seems like a step too far.

The topic is open for discussion, of course, but that was the mods' thinking the last time this came up.

I actually think it would be a great idea. So few men seem to post with regularity here, it might encourage more to become more active and support one another.

This site needs a men's forum - not just a thread.

[Alexandra 55]

OK, where should it go? And what should it be called?

[faithmd 14]

How about under the Main Lap Band Support heading?

I'm not a guy, so my vote proabaly shouldn't count...but I kind of like "The Men's Room" Or "Men's Support Forum"

[faithmd 14]

"Male Bandsters"?

OK, it's done. I'll move the sticky thread in there and leave it up to the guys to start new threads. Have fun!

Thank you very much, I think this will be a postive addition to the LBT and that it may encourage more guys to become active posters in other areas.
