I think one reason women supposedly love you so much is the same reason they don't like pipes. That is, they don't like large objects in their mouths.Well, hell Telescope, you must have not been here for my pipesmoking in the pool pictures. One of the reasons guys give me such a hard time on here is because they’re jealous of how beautiful I am.
That was another thread that made me wince. Some of the responses were a bit unnecessary.
I've noticed this as well. I've been on computers, photography, pipes, and leatherwork fora. In others as well, but those have been my mainstay, check-daily, spend-all-day-there fora. The photography and leatherwork have many women actively participating, the computers and pipes hardly any. Just the way it is, male and female natures being different in order to be complementary.
This right here. There's a pattern here. Female pipe smoker joins, and posts their welcome, often with a pic (most often, a totally normal pic too). About 70 percent of the replies are standard and welcoming, but about 30 percent are of the "yeah baby" variety, maybe not as overt as that, but in the same vein. Women in the United States and many other places already have to deal with a constant stream of unwanted advances. Why would they spend time here if this website is no exception? Then the woman sticks around for 1-4 weeks and we never see them post again. They don't come here looking for a mate.
Wow baby, welcome to the forum little lady! You’re looking a whole lot better than most of the guys here!
What nice fingers you have. Do you always wear your beard like that?

I'm retired IT. In my 30 years in the industry, I had lots of female colleagues...and some darned good ones, to boot. I've found it fascinating - and sad - how somehow this has become seen as a male field, when some of our greatest pioneers were women. Rear Admiral Grace Murray Hopper, anyone?
When we lived in Maine, my wife worked at Bath Iron Works. We would always go to the launchings of the newest destroyer. When they launched the Grace Hopper, I think it was about zero degrees. Froze our butts off.I'm retired IT. In my 30 years in the industry, I had lots of female colleagues...and some darned good ones, to boot.

Maybe they see it as a business rather than a "hobby." And, maybe women learn the pipe easier with less angst than men. Ergo, no questions as to which pipe to smoke on Tuesdays and such.
I worked in a office with 30 some ladies and one other guy. I have to admit I now understand how annoying it can be to be constantly objectified. It's not it happening that's annoying it's the constancy combined with the lack of any real standards (like I know you're only talking to me like that because I am hotter then Josh). Yeah ladies can be as bad as men that's for sure. Though the first few months do give an ego boost.
one of the few major difference I've seen between men and woman is in gaming. Woman seem to get a lot more aggression and frustration out in how they play. I don't think it's inherently feminine but I do think they're not afforded the same amount of space to express their violent thoughts and feelings.One thing I can say for certain, is that the younger generation of younger girls/women, late teens to early twenties, does participate in the online world of computer gaming, in many games that use to be in the past, mainly male dominated, and I mean, Shooter Games, not girly games at all.
I’ve been playing online shooter games for many years, with female gamers 3x younger then me.
So when it comes to the younger generations male and female, they are actually hanging out together online.
I am an extreme PC Gamer, I play Apex Legends daily, amongst other games, and in Discord communities, there are girls everywhere.
Let’s face it, smoking in any form has always had a bad reputation, and it’s not something the newer generations are particularly drawn too either.
Pro Female Gamers too!

I work in a profession dominated by women. Often I am one of only a few males in a building. The part I find humorous is that often I am told by coworkers how male dominated the profession is even though there aren't many of us and we aren't the ones in power.I worked in a office with 30 some ladies and one other guy.

To me though the thing isn't flirting or anything like that being inherently bad or good. The question is if it's appropriate. It becomes a problem when someone refuses to react or respect a lack of interest or return. More of a continuing to throw it in someones face no matter how coldly they react. That's the funny thing how it can be very nice or very uncomfortable or somewhere in between. Like I've heard guys say it's natural to enjoy looking at a beautiful woman, yeah it is but not to the point where you don't care about how the other person feels including how comfortable they feel. I am not saying I always get it right, but at least I try to respect and respond appropriately. That said I doubt many woman join a site like this with the intention of meeting men any more then the other way around.
Though anyone find it funny that only people identifying as men are commenting on this?
