    Default Gender Balancing

    Despite that more guys like this series than do girls, I see a good cause here in keeping the chicks women around, you know? We need more girl friendly conversation, to keep us all in perspective and maybe to brighten things up around here. Flowers anyone?

    You are right - too much testosterone induced discussion for the fairer sex. I might add eliminating the use of the term "chicks" might help too.

    They all hang out in the gameroom or the Arena.

    The simple sight of Strike makes them swoon, so they avoid the frontroom/backroom.

    Me I sweat testosteron. My deep voice reaches further than the song of a humpback whale. Massive male bison in rut run away in fright at my manly physique.


    So compared to my manliness level, you sorry lot are pretty much women anyway. What feminine subject would you girls like to discuss?

    I've never understood how that term became so widespread; maybe we should start calling you all "blokes" constantly, just to level the playing field? xD

    Louis! I am glad that I have been absent so long as to return to a change of signature in your profile.

    Your irrelephant pun was the best I have heard in months, and it shall have an audience here in Australia.

    Perhaps such warmth of congratulation would transpire in a hearty kiss in your nation, but here my thanks will have to suffice.


    I postpone verdict upon the actual subject of this thread until we have heard from SFTS.

    We could talk about how to put on make up better, what to do with periods, good clothes, and boy bands that women would be fond of. We don't have to be interested in those topics. We just need to be well-informed to have a conversation that women would be comfortable with.

    I'd love to hear how you apply your guyliner! :P

    what to do with periods
    They're used when ending a sentence, and a series of three periods is called an ellipse.

    good clothes

    Well, no, it wouldn't level the playing field. But you all call us Cockerels anyway.

    I just came from 4chan and I don't understand. There are no girls on the internet.

    If we are trying to balance out the genders here can I still make my thread about how awesome this song is:
