How many women lurk as opposed to post?

[CornishBabe]

I did find this thread felt rather open and welcoming, everywhere else is so busy that I would just feel lost if I tried to post there.

I'm a voyeur to many things in life. There are many instances in which I'd love to be a fly on the wall. Forums are one of those places where I can fullfill that need. But my main reason for not posting very much is my lack of knowledge and/or experience in the topics around here. That's why I am here...to learn, and learning I am.

Same here. I'm learning about female sexuality. It's quite eye opening.

This site is kind of addicting.

We had noticed A good thread and a good way for people to break the ice..........

*waves to Cornishbabe* Hello fellow southwester

<wave> I've been lurking on and off for years. Maybe this time I'll stick around. Thanks for the invitation.

I lurked for the longest time. I try and post more and more but have come to the conclusion that most men here don't want to even have a discussion unless you have pics. That disappoints me and makes me wanna go back to lurking mode.

Tis a bit of a sweeping statement there ... some men, if not most of them, do like to natter... in fact, one of the lady's that has peeked my interest most is one who has never posted pictures... she just stirs me with her words... one day I would love to see the real her, but until then her words (and her wicked mind) will be sufficient !

So, if there are any ladies out there still lurking, come out of the closet... make yourselves heard

I'm just curious. Do most of the women who read the boards post regularly (not pics, just posts)? Or are there those who hardly if at all post? If so, why?

I'm curious. Say hello if you're one of those women. Don't be shy.

Hello...I just recently joined the board and have posted a few times, but you can basically call me a lurker because that is what I'm doing most of the time. Why don't I post more...I guess its just the newbie in me.

I definetly lurk more than I post. I've been here for years. Some of the sections seem like old boys clubs and god forbid you try to break in. I like to lurk in the GB but I have zero courage to post anything there. I like my head on my shoulders and do not care to have it bitten off. I generally stick to my AmPic thread. It's a great ego boost to post pics there. I always leave feeling dead sexy, 100% beautiful after posting a few. The how-to is always helpful and I'll throw my two cents in there once in awhile when I have good advice.

Don't give up.

Hi there.

Tell me about it.

My tendency is to post and express myself, but I end up mostly lurking because nine out of ten times I'm completely ignored. I don't know if that's just me, or what. I don't take it personally but it's hard not to feel discouraged by it. Perticularly when I try to join in on conversations where people are merrily quoting each other back and forth and I'll try and jump in. And it's as if my post is this void in the thread, that people simply skip over as if it's not there. That gets to you after a while. I've been knocking around here for about three or four years, I've got more than 3000 posts and I'm still more or less a stranger. Sometimes I'll be in the middle of writing out a response and I just think why the fuck am I bothering. No one's going to reply to me.

So I can totally understand some people's reluctance to voice themselves, especially in any way that might be taken as controversial. So now I just tend to goof around and make jokes and people probably think I'm just some clown who can't take anything seriously.

Anyhoo, welcome everyone. *waves*

 

[lovelylindsey88]

hiya. i wouldnt exactly say i lurk... i dont post excessively though. only when i feel like i have something interesting to say or share. mainly in the members art thread... plus i get so many damned PMs i get tired of typing

i just pretend to be annoyed by it, really i love the attention, lol.

 

[mrs.jeepman6]

I post on interesting topics and interesting threads. I have made a ton of friends in the years I've been here and spend a lot of my time answering pm's from my friends so I don't always feel like posting on the threads so those are my lurk times. I also spend a lot of time reading what others have posted. I subscribe to threads so I spend a lot of time following these and catching up when I've been gone for a while.

 

[ms.read]

why would a lurker post to this?

 

[Jaydoes]

Just for the record....

So far, I've had about the same opinion of lit women as Caress does of lit men...I love lit women they're interesting and honest and always have interesting things to say....but for the most part...its difficult find someone who wants to have an ongoing discussion aboutanything....they reply to your pm's a few times and pretty soon they've disappeared....even at times...if the pm's back and forth seemed to be going well....I've never complained because I realize how many pm's all the women probably get...but if I found ladies who were interested in ongoing discussions....I'd welcome their pm's....(laughing)...did I just hijack this thread?

Same here. That happens to me too.

Agreed... I feel the same way! That and sometimes people can be volatile, and my temper would flare up too much hehe. The way I see it, I'm just here to have fun and sometimes simply lurking (besides posting on my own thread, which is a safe place in my eyes) is the way to do it.

 

[WriterDom]

I get a few messages from women with 0 posts.

I definately agree, though I haven't been here for years. The few times I have posted in the GB, I have either been ignored (the anti-greens don't want to know australia is dying), have been deemed deluded and a victim in waiting by the pro-gunners, and called "cluless" (yep, thats cluless) when I simply stated a fact to a rather irrate American Christian about something that was actually happening here in Aus.

To me personal attack and name calling do not suffice as logical open discussion, neither does rhetoric and dogma. Fortunately I do have the tenacity to hold my own if I have to and a certain temerity that allows me to speak my mind for time to time.

My Ampics thread is a safe, self affirming place.

*delurking to say "hi".

i lurk for several reasons, but mainly because i'm dealing with a lot of negative (depressive) stuff in my life right now. by staying silent,, i can browse & read even if i've been crying or feel like total crap. by lurking only, i don't have to pretend to be something i'm not feeling at the moment.
nor do i have to feel obligated to reply to PM's that might not interest me.

*and i've lurked for quite sometime before even signing up

My Ampics thread is a safe, self affirming place.

And reaffirming for those of us who longingly tune in each day, to know that viagra is still not a necessity.

 

[hotbloodedredhead]

yoo-hoo

This is my first posting. I guess that makes me a "lurker". I don't know that it's a shy thing, most who know me wouldn't describe me that way. I like to get the lay of the land I guess...so...hello there.

Well welcome, Hotblooded.

And since you just joined in August I'd hardly consider you a lurker.

But - Post away! Get to 100, get an AV.

 

[hotbloodedredhead]

thanks for the welcome
As to posting, this thread broke the ice, it made me say, "why not?"
