I'm a man, I've been a member just for 11 days now. I have enjoyed being on here. Still don't know how I'll help others?

I think men should have a spot on WC. There are many things that a mans point of view would give insight to.

I love it when a guy is willing to be a part of "just us girls" - and I agree - it's great to have another viewpoint.

It would be great to see a man's point of view on different issues with which the women must face. Also, it would be an advantage for the man, as well, since he can learn more about us in a nice environment, by taking part to discussions.


Maybe your help does not have visible effects, but it sure counts a lot for the one you supported in one way or another. Even a nice pic or some kind words are enough to boost someone's moral and to make one's day happier.


It's very nice to have you as friend.

I love seeing the male view point on certain topics. Welcome Richard!

I don't mind men on the site. As mentioned previously, men (some) do offer a different insight to some things.  I know I frequently ask my husband for his opinions on things I'm doing, not to get his approval, but to voice or see something that I might have missed or something that just didn't occur to me.

To be honest I have to admit that when i first joined this site I was kind of surprised to see there were a few men here and wondered why they would want to join a womens site,  but after being here for about six months and reading here and there posts, I totaly agree with all the previous posts.  I think it is nice to have a mans'  perspective sometimes, and just as there are so many nice women out there so are there  nice men  [ and they appear to be on excelle ]   so welcome  Richard.


I'm in favour.

 I love when men post on the forum asking women for advice and all that. However, there have been a few men here that had sent me messages to get to know me on a more "personal level." I dislike that very much and I'm sure I'm not the only one here who has gotten a few private messages of that kind here.

Well I'm sorry to have such a drastically different opinion on this, but I feel I must be honest.  I am somewhat put off with a man using this site.  Actually...more than somewhat...very put off.  Whether a man says that he has always identified with women growing up or not, this is a site for women, not for men who feel they relate to us.  And I can truly say that I feel less likely to openly discuss what's on my mind when a man can comment on it.  I have been a proud member of this site since the end of last year and I've never been so unlikely to use it as I am now.  No offense, Richard51, but if I wanted to converse with men and get their input, I would use a different site.  This is a site where I want other women's opinions.  There are tons of sites on the web where men and women can communicate with each other, whereas this site is a rarity and I have not come across another like it.  So, to answer the question "What do I think of men using this site?":  I don't like it.  Sorry to differ so much from other responses, but it's the whole-hearted truth.

I have to say I am also bothered by men using this site. While I believe Richard51 is probably a very nice person, I do feel uncomfortable with him and other men using this site. This site is called Excelle for a reason. It was created so women could freely speak their minds and stress whatever opinions they have on any topic they choose.

I would have no intention of joining an all men’s group, because I would feel I was intruding. I have to admit I felt special when I saw a site made just for us. If a lot of men joined; it would not longer need to be called Women.com, and I love that name. I think it depends on the circumstances. Richard51, from what I read on your profile, you belong here as much as I do. Have a wonderful day, Faye

I, too, have been approached by men on here . . . and I am a 52 year old Grandmother.  I have one who persisted on trying to get me to join him on a yahoo messager site to get to know each other on a personal level.  He said he needed someone to make him feel like a man.  In one of his private messages he stated that he was a widower with two children,   I actually investigated his tale with what little information that he provided to me,  and he is younger than my oldest son.  I ignored him, and he finally disappeared.  I am here to network with other women (and Richard, of course.) I really don't care to be approached when I am minding my own business here.  I felt like I was being stalked to a certain extent, and he was being pushy.   After the Craig's list incident, this gave me the heebie jeebies.  There is really no way to make this site exclusively for women, therefore, I hope all of my friends here, young and older, will be extra careful.
