Mark I can't sit here and let you run your mouth calling yourself a "man". What is a "man" anyway? You and your ignorant set in stone gender rolls.

I thought you guys shared washrooms? I was sort of thinking sports ed shower scene.

What all your bedrooms are en-suite now? Who's locking himself in? Soap on a rope anyone?

I value having girls around in the forum and as readers, nd you know I've said time and again that the difference between men and women re not that wide and just a matter or perspective but I want Postmasculine to be ... masculine, I want it to be centered on men, it's a gut feeling, maybe a selfish on but I don't want it to become this fit for all self help development site that gets too mingled and confusing because it tries to address a lot of unrelated things.

I freaked out a little bit when I heard that part honestly.

I got the same feeling. I hope you never abandon the dating angle for men, even if that is just where all of our issues tend to show. I'm sure any other dating site has women going "amen", probably even Roosh or Roissy.


I was hoping Mark would go more in depth about your emotional process relating to the recent posts and comments - or perhaps in a different direction. While I can be indifferent to the worse comments, some present darn good challenges and others make me cringe and go slap the guy (eg: some dude recently claiming that he feels validated by some female rebuttal of your lines.) In Models you wrote, something like "facing that much rejection [from women] will force you to develop your sense of self and make ou grow." Did this have a similar impact in you?

[Mark]

I think so. I think it probably made me more resilient. When I started the blog, getting even one negative comment would really upset me. Now sitting down and reading a dozen doesn't phase me at all.

As for the women thing, I can tell you that the pick up companies have very very few active female supporters and a lot of active haters.

According to my most recent demographic stats, the split in readership has actually been 50/50 the past week in terms of male/female. I don't plan on completely rearranging the brand or the vision of the site, that will stay the same. But I am going to start being conscientious that a sizeable amount of women are reading regularly now and try to make things gender-neutral when applicable.
