I’m an average bloke (with an average name) and as such I assume I receive an average amount of interest from the women of this site. If I’m correct then this means approximately 1 mail from new contacts every few months and for those of us who delve into the murky world of chat, a pm from a new contact in a slightly shorter period of time. Yes I’m very lucky to have made friends with some great people on here and to chat and mail with them regularly, which I hugely enjoy and appreciate but for the purposes of this (average?) blog I will stick to new acquaintances. Now I might be underestimating all the other blokes on here and I’m sure you will tell me if I am but I’m guessing most don’t get avalanches of mails and pm’s either…
In contrast to the experiences of us fellas, I continually hear that women are inundated with masses of mails from mainly new blokes. Some of which is ok, some not, some funny and some just, well, erm …. Weird? Also any regular chatters know the amount of unwanted pm’s the ladies of this site receive as soon as they enter despite the protocol of people having to ask if pm’s are wanted and accepting the fact that they sometimes won’t be. This is such a bad problem I know it puts some ladies off the thought of even entering chat….
So just supposing some strange twist of fate happened overnight, the magnetic poles reversed and as if by magic so did the problems listed above? Ladies would you be happier if you suddenly received hardly any interest? Gone is all the grief and hassle of the Hot Tub and your mailbox is a contact desert? Would you prefer to do the chasing instead of having to wear out the delete button and the ignore settings? Would this put you in more control or less? Would you embrace the anonymity it gives you or would the lack of attention be a big loss?
Blokes would you long for the constant mails and pm’s of women wishing to contact you? ….. OK stupid question I know 99.9% would scream yes! But is there anyone out there who wouldn’t?
The one thing I’m worried about this blog is that people misinterpret it. I am NOT for 1 second suggesting women should have to endure all the grief that is associated with blokes hassling them because it is better than having no attention at all!!! It is more of a fun, tongue in cheek, role reversal blog. Would it be fun to see how the other half life & is the grass always greener on the other side?
So do you want to try walking in my shoes?

Joe: Like you, I'm quite happy with the trickle of interest I receive. Could it be an age thing I wonder (haha....). To be honest, I don't envy women on this site, but there again I'm not female, so perhaps there's an "attention-seeking gene" that I lack :-) Looking forward to seeing the responses :-) |

Skebbie - Agreed! Not sure what I'd do if I got tons of messages anyway. I'm more than happy with any attention and very happy with the amount I have at the moment. |

I used to get quite a lot of mails but to be honest i think that was because i decided to add a few pics, but thank goodness that mail frenzy has calmed down now, other than the odd one or two most of my mails are now from people i have built up some form of "friendship".

I wouldn't miss them, but it is nice to have a quiet chat now and again. Some things are best not said in public ;-) |

Happy as a sandboy over here thanks Joe! |

45??? Bloody hell don't think I've had that many since I started!!! |

On a slightly different tone. I am getting site generated e-mails from people wanting to chat to me. |
|
5:44 am Monday, 7th July, 2014
What I'd like to know is,do these guys who send mis-spelt,ungrammatical,one- line messages such as "fancy a shag ? " or " wanna see my cock ? " have any success ? |

Ealish I realise that there are more shades than I stated but I can only talk about my experience. What side of the fence is your mailbox closer to? And I might look good in a nice pair of heels but I'm sure I'd fall over and break an ankle before I'd even manage a couple of steps ;-) |

Star Girl,your point is well-madex xx I shall confine myself to quoting excepts to you from your fellow Scot, the great William McGonagall.After several declamations of " The Great Tay Bridge Disaster " I fully expect you will be porridge ( if not putty ) in my hands xxxxxxx |

StarG you do have to wonder about some people who don't get the message? Do you think they really don't get it or are they playing dumb? |
|

Joe to think that while some are just plain old dumb but normally even they take the hint. Then you get the odd one or two that are only playing dumb, won't take no as an answer then turn abusive. Jeez i had one that i hit the IGGY button for but then he went onto the main board and was rather abusive. |

I've never bothered with the chatroom, looks too much like hard work; and if it's overrun with illiterate blokes, what's the point? |
|

doc: Just reset your mail preferences and the prob will stop. I managed to figure that out only recently..... :-) |
|

Skeb, that sounds like a good ideal I'll have a look at that. It seems there's no option to send a preemptive 'I'm miles away, sod off' mail either. ..probably for the best! |

Joe, your wearing the wrong aftershave buddy, I'm inundated with mails and pms from women all over the place, they're positively crawling out of the woodwork to get to me! There's not an hour goes by when I don't have some scantily clad, sex crazed female demanding that I allow them to ravishing my body and jump on my bones! Usually they have friends with them and they always want to share!!!!!!!!!!! |

Are you wearing the aftershave or drinking it MYS? .... |

Ok I will agree to a game of "Travel Scrabble" if you return my "Mojo" unharmed. But get the dictionary looked out, oh and i mean the site version as the Cambridge one may not have the colourful words that may come up as we play ;-P |
