Welcome to Over50sForum! The site for people over 50 to chat, make friends, discuss, share, and generally be part of something that's fun and friendly :)
Maybe we're just old fashioned Arty, and respect ladies of the fairer sex. I never swear aloudin a lady's company but frequently under my breath, and I still open doors for them imagining the joy I'd have in slamming it in their faces and always give up my seat on a bus so that I can create as much distance as possible.....
I wonder, if male posters tread more carefully when replying to female posters on the forum?
I don’t mean they are scared to, maybe they just want some peace and no aggro!
No, I don't tread more carefully when replying to females. I think it's a very outmoded attitude. They're not delicate flowers who swoon if spoken to indelicately and then have to be brought 'round with smelling-salts.
As for the "gentlemanly" aspect of dealing with females it's not as if I swear or use crude innuendo in any online forums whatsoever. Gender is immaterial. I just don't do it.
Apologies. Slightly off-topic, but I hope my question may still be answered.
Why are we limited only to the little 'Mars' and 'Venus' symbols in the header of our posts?
According to what I have read, there are now literally dozens of genders and variations of same, yet apparently we have only male and female members on the forum.

I agree with you, Tachyon. A few of the females regularly post with a couple of icons beating up the males with sticks and punches. It is kinda brutal, regardless if it's in fun or jest. However, it does level the playing field....if, the lady chooses to play that way.

Hmmm ... what would you suggest for a sausage jockey?
