Not many men on here are there?

Hi people
I often read this forum and sometimes post, the stories and reading about other people's problems and solutions are really helpful. As I've said in other posts, I wouldn't be on my (/our - me and gf joint debt) way to being debt free without it :)

I just kind of notice that there aren't many men on here - if any..

Is this because men don't post and it's the women that have to sort all the debts / worries out? I'm sure there's plenty of blokes with debt..... maybe most of us keep our heads in the sand!

    There are lots of boys...but the user names don't always give it away. I have certainly assumed a few folk on here were female and been corrected ;)

  • Interesting point though Dave, I am inclined to agree that women tend to take control of the finances - certainly in this family - lol!! Now I wait to stand corrected - theres a stampede a comin . lol!!!;)

    You'll soon find out how many men we have on here!
