Why is it?

[Sqad]

.....that 99% of posts in this section are about females getting "dumped" or having a "spat" with their "unreasonable" male partner?

Is it

A) because 99% of the time it is the male that is at fault
B) because the male also has issues with the other half, but sorts them out himself without resorting to the world wide web

Tilly....creep....;-)

I have been reading the post in question but not replied as what ever advice is given it will not be heeded. Of course a woman will side with a woman but as Tilly says why put it all up on the internet. Maybe they get some comfort from it I don't know. And reading it today she still wants him back.
A few years ago there was a similiar example of this and many of you that have been on here a few years maybe about 6 years ago might remember it. The woman had been left with nothing everyone gathered round and offered help including furniture and even a pc. And even offers of money. To cut a long story shot it was all lies for attention.

[Tilly2]

How can it be the male's fault 99% of the time? That's daft.

[boxtops]

I'll go for b) but with a lot of caveats.

[Sqad]

Tilly sorry............100% of the time.

I often found men in my circle with problems at home would use me for 'a woman's perspective' usually the conversation would start something like ' I expect you are going to tell me I am a P R A T but ....' Other female friends have experienced similar... maybe more men have female sounding boards than we realise. BTW there is a difference from this and the 'my wife doesn't understand me scenario'

[boxtops]

I don't agree that women will always side with women - I've know some women behave like absolute wangs, I wouldn't take their side in that situation.

Hi Squiddly,

Hope you're well :0)

Morning to all xx

Wendilla makes a very good point........some on here are a cry for attention, but some are'nt, and genuinely ask for advice, as maybe they value an opinion as to what options they have.

In answer to your question, Dr Kildare, I would say b).....as most who have issues with their partner turn to good friends or family for some advice/guidance, as do women too, and work on their relationships if they REALLY care. If not, whats the point?

Take care Dr Doom lol

All the best

yoges x ( a manly kiss...ok? )

[ummmm]

I think you're right Rowan. Plenty of my male friends have spoken to me.

[rowanwitch]

I think they know who will give them a straight and fair response... I only offer advice if they ask for it though

[Sqad]

Hi yogi.....yepp I'm fine and thanks for asking.

Do you mind if i give the kiss (manly or otherwise) a miss...;-).....?

[sunny-dave]

morning sqad/yogi

{{{group hug}}}} ??

[wendilla]

Boxtops I should have said MOST woman will agree with woman.

[rowanwitch]

I bet they have their own little online whinge about women group

[sunny-dave]

Could it also be that there are far more women than men on AB - so the simple odds are that most 'problems' will be posted about by women?

[Sqad]

dave.........morning.........never thought of that...;-)

[yogi-bear]

I'm gutted, squiddly....no tongues......honest!( I may have slipped it in ).....but a group hug will do, as sunny-dave suggests

......Morning SD :) .....have a good 'un.

[yogi-bear]

Dont end the thread here......

(>>>> to self>>>.....errrrrm say something controversial, yogi)

You women dont half whinge a lot!

( that'll do the trick) :0)

[mrs_overall]

Morning all.

Another reason could be that an outsider, rather than family and friends, can see things more objectively.

Also, I tend to agree with moped-less boy that there are far more women on here than the inferior sex
