Any other males feel unrepresented?

It seems as if all the 'offical' EH folks around here are women. What gives?

I've complained about the articles a number of times.

It's less surprising with the forums. Women tend to use Internet social media more than men, so there are going to be more women here anyhow.

That said, one of the benefits on eHarmony for men in general is that there are more women than other sites. So, it's probably to our benefit that eHarmony doesn't do more to attract men.

Most of the articles are written to women.

You're right, Gr8Guy. I think having some male writers would be a good idea, even if (or especially if) they were writing to the women. I'd appreciate having the male perspective presented by a man who wasn't trying to sell his latest book or dvd collection, as has been done in the past. I also think male readers might like articles that give them some insight into what other men think about relationships, without the sense that it's like the casual, saving-face, one-upsmanship kind of joking.

How about articles that interview real-life guys (who aren't selling anything) - please spare all of us the celebrities and motivational speakers! Heck, EH could interview some of the terrific young-to-middlin'age guys who post here.

You could pay me so I wouldn’t have to do boring work. Then I could post more and counterbalance the women.

i think most people here (women included) think the articles are dumb.

as far as the mods, if they need to edit or delete a post, i don't think it's biased, and i've been on some boards with very biased moderators.

I've seen some pretty nasty stuff posted by men that didn't get modded. and i get warnings ALL THE TIME.
