My missus signed up yesterday. She then posted a hello thread and got the usual response from the boys before the thread suddenly disappeared. Mind you, she was accused of bing Vixpy1 at one point so it's probably a good job...

So whats the safest way for a woman to do a 'Hello from new member' thread?

Sign up with nothing along the lines of -babe, -girl, -sex kitten in the title.

Avoid mentioning hair colour and breast size.

Talk about cars only for first 50 posts.

Ignore any encouragement of debauchery from Vixpy1!!!

And she'll be fine...


- ooh and posting a pic of oneself when one is attractive is just asking for trouble!!!

There should be a separate forum called "newbies" or "rookies"

Where females / males / anyone who is new can say 'Hello'

I don't think the title of her thread helped much jimothy also don't think Ted enjoys looking at all the attention & smutty replies women get in the P&P compared to what a 'hi im new" thread started by a guy receives..

I don't think I really introduced myself - just started posting on some of the other threads - prehaps that was rude?
Generally you know what type of post is going to get a smutty reply

I think I just 'appeared' as well. Often easier to slip into the back of the lions den than jump in the centre with juicy steaks shouting 'are you hungry, boys?!'.

Ten years ago I posted / chatted with girlsnames every now and then . . . man, it was unbelievable . . . ashamed to be a man really . . .

But we're all decent gents are we? I think over here some 'men' get it as well . . . and not only at their first post.

I honestly thought it might have been some kind of trap set up by a regular. And then I remembered the 'what should my wifes log-in name be' thread and went totally into tongue in cheek mode.


Hope the vixpy thing wasn't too offensive. OK Charlie?

Why the need to start a Im new thread? If every member did iy there would be nothing else on here.

Just joining in with a thread that interests her would be better.

It's been a while, but I'm pretty sure that there's some sort encouragement from Ted to introduce yourself when you sign up (via automated e-mail or something).

You've left out an important detail.

What colour is your hair? If it's dark then you're fair game!
