I don't know the actual statistics when it comes to male posters vs. female posters, but I do know that it feels like there are significantly fewer men posting then say several years ago. When it was just the medical board, it felt like mostly men, but when the other boards started- particularly psych- the pendulum swung the other way. I think a lot has to do with the topics chosen (women and their therps, etc.) and as you wrote that men aren't as willing to emote as much as women. I do know that you and several other male posters were key supporters of mine in the old days, not only with med advice but with how to deal with symptoms, etc. That was so invaluable to me because it helped me understand how my spouse must have felt, especially since he was unwilling to vocalize it. I know I'm rambling, I just wanted to convey the importance of male posters and how they are missed.- judy
