Why are more men inclined to dive?

[crazyTomato]

Too much to site here.

If you read my offering carefully, it is mostly asking questions...not making statements. Your last paragraph makes far more of a judgement than anything I said.

I am sure women do not have the market cornered on "emotional barriers". I know a lot of men who fear the thought of diving. Hell, I hate grasshoppers! Everyone has their own baggage. The orginal topic is still "Why do more men dive than women". Cultural, most likely, genetic, who knows but the discussion should not throttled by differences of opinion.

I recognize your right to disagree with me or anyone else; not sure you should get so personal, but neither will "make me what to scream" or call your statements "garbage" when you post it.

Any of you other ladies interpret my post as crazytomato did?

Ok. You’re right. You did indeed phase it in a question form…..which I did notice. Still doesn’t excuse me from having personalized it way too much or my immaturity for having made such statements. I’ve edited that paragraph. Sorry.

If I worked for the marketing department for PADI or one of the other recreational diving agencies, I would direct ALL my attention to the ladies. Let's face it, a man who digs a woman will follow her almost ANYWHERE, In my case even occasionally into Ann Taylor or Nine West :blinking:
If you get 100 women into diving, at least 80 will follow

No problem. Let's move on to something less volatile, say capital punishment, global warming or minimum wage! I do like your passion, tho! If you still have some points to make to me in particular, pm me and we can spare these poor folks the debate. However, I must warn you, I might be more on your side of the argument than you think....

Not that global warming isn't a serious concern, but that statement is seriously hilarious!!!!!!!!! Count me as a member!


As for H2Andy, I seriously adore you!!!!!!!! Really and truly!!!!! Your posting #117, is extremely well written (understatement of the year) and drives home the point more than my rambling statements. Kudos to you.
