why women only...??

but I'd like to see a Men's forum. That way, all discussions related to the P-valve could be contained there, and I could avoid them. It just seems so nasty!

Now that is an awesome idea! Even's out the woman only issue and the guys can talk about guy stuff! Then we can to lurk in their forum!

Probably be pretty boring.

As I have always known, this board has some extremely intelligent women on it.
So many good points were brought up.
#1 Yes, we need to have a forum for the bleeding, boobs and women's issues. It's doesn't have be called "Women Only" since men are also a part, of this part of our lives.
#2 We do have a spot for Single's trips, but not just for Single's to meet and find a buddy.
I think this is an excellent idea.
#3 I personally have always wanted other issues then diving in this "Women's only" forum.
But, since it is Scubaboard I don't think that will ever happen.
So maybe we can just change the forum to a more "open" sounding name then the old 'has been' "Women's Only" name.
It sounds so out dated.
We need more ideas, and I'll take it to all the Mods for a vote.

...for women to have a Pee Valve!! I dive dry and although my bladder is "conditioned" for long road trips while pounding the diet Dr Peppers (lotsa caffeine), sometimes the safety/deco stops get downright painful:wacko: Then I still have to doff gear and suit before I can *go*! So far I just can't make myself use the depends...
To not totally highjack this thread - I kinda like poking my head in here once in a while. I've pretty much given up on finding a single guy (diver or not) who's man enough not to be intimidated by me, though ;-0

Snowbear:
You're right, we're getting off the subject.
But I will say this to you, "Don't give up."
I felt the same way about myself. It will happen.
You're very pretty. And Alaska is a great place. I was there in 96.
Maybe coming on a Single's warm weather dive trip will help.
Anyway, back to the subject..

Women's Issues. A more politically correct name. It's still an open forum for men &/or women, to discuss a specific area of interst.

Any thoughts on these?

You forgot "The Chick's Corner" !!

Of the above, I like The Girl's Room and Women and Diving (but I still like it the way it is!)

I like those two also. Anything is better then Women Only.

Anything with Issues or Concerns makes it sound like we have some! It may be PC but it makes me think that just because we're women, we have some issue/concern to overcome in order to dive. And we all know that couldn't be farther from the truth!

Ladie's Room is cute but I think it would draw the juv. delinquent behavior to peak behind the curtain just as much as the 'Only' made it irresistable.

We want men to participate in the discussions, just leave their 8th grade hormones at the door.
