I think it has to do with the whole wanting to appear macho.

Sites like these don't exactly hit high on the masculinity scale (no offense). Especially considering a lot of the poetry is written by females or a bisexual guy.

Any way I word this I'm probably going to get some negative points. But yeah... it's kind of true. Same goes with any type of art thing usually the majority are female save for a few males.

It goes with the whole: "girls express themselves creatively while guys express themselves physically."

But there are few guys on here that are cool and aren't "pansy-like" in anyway so the whole assumption of it being less than masculine is wrong and blah blah blah...

I'm not a pansy, but...... I'm weak in the arm aspect of my body. My legs are really strong for some reason, though, and I really don't like those stupid art sites. Competing with other artists makes me feel like taking their originals and just ripping them into shreds.

*Denying he's a pansy* ^

Hey, you! gimme that!

*Hands originals over*

*Tries to rip it*

Laminated! You monster!

Actually, that's a mystery... he/she has never confirmed in public... Though I do know, because I'm so friendly with Bread. And uhhh... I asked.

Yeah I've heard that countless times. There's not much I can do about it though, it's just how I type/talk or whatever the fuck the case may be... Voice-wise I don't sound like a guy.

I'm not a pansy, but...... I'm weak in the arm aspect of my body.

Damn, go out and pump some iron.

I really don't like those stupid art sites.

I somewhat use Deviant art but people there mainly focus on anime so it's kind of a waste to get some type of input.

Chick.

Well, you know how to take the fun out of a mystery. ;)

Hey, Stormy!

Howdy. Stormy? That's a new one... Heh, I like it. Yay for nicknames.

Usually if they want to keep their gender mysterious it's a chick. Otherwise, guys aren't afraid to say they sport a penis.

Yeah, sometimes it says there's an error. And sometimes when viewing a forum as a whole it shows really old updates on the list instead of recent ones... unless you reload the page a few times.

I think the reason is because fictionpress got started because of ff.net, and that site is thriving with twelve year old fangirls, and many of them transfer over here.

Also, studies show that girls are better with english and guys are better with math. Or maybe it's the other way around, I don't remember.

Maybe there aren't more girls. Maybe it's just that girls tend to be more forum-going than guys do, so we end up seeing girls a lot more than guys while on forums.

Also, I have a feeling Bread is a guy. No idea why, just comes across to me that way. I am eternally sorry if I'm wrong, Bread. If it makes you feel better, I thought Moko Emaki was a girl at first.

Its mostly chicks because of the romance section. The first guy I find writing there will be the first, and that guy sure won't be me.

The major men's section is the action section, but that's a walking corpse at this point. I don't even want to post there anymore. I'd rather just shove my stuff into manga and hope for the best.

I think it has to do with the whole wanting to appear macho.

Some macho guys exist, but not as many as you'd think. Not enough to make this site empty.

Really, that whole macho stuff isn't as big a deal as it probably was in the past. I mean, you have guys going to the hair salon and getting manicures and shit, and admitting it openly. Its strange. And now everyone's turned to so politically correct and afraid to offend people, that most guys might as well hand their balls over to the nearest woman.

I think too many guys are being raised by their mothers like girls, since their fathers ditch them so quick. And older chicks want their kids to be respectful little wussies, when the guy who has their panties is the exact opposite. Then there's the whole "gay is fine" thing -- which I don't give two shakes of a rats ass about, one way or the other -- but for guys, its not exactly aiding the macho man's cause.

Whatever happened to the guys who used to beat the feminine side out of these damn "metro-sexuals" at an early age? I'm tired of people being suprised when I don't have a clue what the latest fashions are. Its not like the designers are paying me to give a damn.

That's my rant for the week. I needed to blow off some steam. If I offended anyone, please feel free to get over it.

You're a guy? Okay, that answers it for me. I was trying to figure it out... Hah.

Also, studies show that girls are better with english and guys are better with math. Or maybe it's the other way around, I don't remember.

Yeah, well, that's bullcrap. I'm awesome at both english AND math. *in your face*

Also, I have a feeling Bread is a guy. No idea why, just comes across to me that way. I am eternally sorry if I'm wrong, Bread. If it makes you feel better, I thought Moko Emaki was a girl at first.

Well, there's no way for you to really know except ask.

Rants are good for the soul.

Personally, I never noticed. I just figured girls liked writing more then guys. Or something around those areas.

^_^

Who's the Arter-dude???

Girls might like it more, but I personally think that guys make better writers than us.

Who's the Arter-dude???

Oh, only one of the awesomest writers on Fictionpress.

Oh, only one of the awesomest writers on Fictionpress

Oh, okay, that works out^_^

urrrgh...my dog is sitting on my lap and making typing VERY HARD!

but anyways...as i was saying...Arter-dude could have a point about girls showing up on forums more then guys. In my family studies class, we learned about gender and communication...Females tend to use communication more to connect then males.

^_^''

Oh... well I wasn't sure if Arter was a guy. *Ditto about Bread, that's why I asserted*

Kurt Cobain is such a hick. You can really tell.

I guess dudes have their own writing style, even though sometimes you really can't tell what gender I am, because even rereading what I just typed fifteen seconds ago makes me seem like a girl. A girlish aura. Even the gay dudes have an odd male aura around their writing.

Not trying to be offensive, but it's really working. I am sad to admit it, but girls are usually the more creative. *Exception*

Are the Deftones' singer high or am I just imagining something here?

Wow these guys have like no harmony...

*Ahem*

Back to subject. Yes.. usually guys like to admit and are proud of having, a penis. Even the gay ones. It has to do alot with male gender superiority.

Whoa just talked third person about my own gender.

Since girls have always been the 'lower form of life'. I personally don't believe this, but I hate everyone, there's not much to believe, anyway.

And don't say I'm pessimistic. Even though I am. Just don't. You know exactly who you are.

No synonyms, either. And no antonyms, for that matter.

Um... This is actually a little-known site. So all these little prodigies come on these sites and write away. The latter are people who can't write for shit, like me, or just people who aren't necessarily writing obsessists. But then those kinds of people don't really do this.

And yes... I do have a penis. But the All American Rejects don't. Why do you think they sing so much about 'love'?

Okay. You aren't pessimistic. You just see the glass as half empty. ^_^

So all these little prodigies come on these sites and write away.

I don't think there's such a thing as a writing prodigy - no one can start out good, as far as writing goes.

I'm putting it low and they still can hear it.

*has a story in the romance section*

Didn't know where else to put it.

The Action section used to be real big back in the day as well as the Thriller, or that's how I remember it. Ahh fuck manga. I don't understand how it's even a goddamn section. It's just like every other section just the names are japanese and DO NOT say "you don't understand blah blah blah.. its for a comic" no one on there is writing/drawing a comic. I tried submitting my shit into the manga section because that's the only thing people read on here and I just felt like I was selling out... so I deleted it from there, I can't go that low.

Really, that whole macho stuff isn't as big a deal as it probably was in the past. I mean, you have guys going to the hair salon and getting manicures and shit, and admitting it openly. Its strange.

Ugh.. I miss the macho guys... Guys shouldn't worry about that shit, there's this guy in one of my classes who actually covers up his zits with chick foundation... and what the hell happened to just wearing a plain t-shirt or a wife-beater. I was getting my hair done the other day and my friend was there getting his done at the same place..like getting it dyed and shit. So I walked up to him, being the prick that I am, and was all like "Hey.. nice coloring, it'll match your vagina nicely.. Pansy." anddd then he turned red and told me to shut the fuck up.

when the guy who has their panties is the exact opposite.

That is so fucking true. Most guys that I've encountered that wear girl pants (not sure about the panties but I wouldn't put it past them) are walking around calling people faggots and jews and all of that other shit like they're badasses. Who the hell is going to feel threatened by a guy who's walking around in size 0 low riders? Goddamn. I hate people.

Whatever happened to the guys who used to beat the feminine side out of these damn "metro-sexuals" at an early age? I'm tired of people being suprised when I don't have a clue what the latest fashions are. Its not like the designers are paying me to give a damn.

Who the hell invented the term "metro-sexual"? the first I've heard of it was from South Park about two years ago. I think some of the male pansiness comes from parents who are afraid to dicipline their children correctly, which is by smacking the living hell out of them.

I heard some radio station saying "if your child does something wrong, don't raise your voice just talk to them explaining what they did wrong"

What good is that going to do? That's only going to help them raise gender confused pansies. The kids will just want to do whatever they did wrong again because they don't fully understand right or wrong. But if you spank or slap them they'll know not to fuck around. By the way I don't plan on having kids so no need to worry.

I strayed away from the topic. But yeah.. Dice, I think it's good that you don't know the latest fashions.

But yeah... Long story short: Macho guys pwn Metro-sexual guys.

That is so fucking true. Most guys that I've encountered that wear girl pants (not sure about the panties but I wouldn't put it past them) are walking around calling people faggots and jews and all of that other shit like they're badasses.

*snorts*

My school is "emo-CENTRAL", I swear to God, I'm sick of walking around the school, suddenly stopping and thinking, "THAT FUCKER HAS MY PANTS ON!!!!!"

OR my personal favourite...

The ones with the TIGHT ASS low riders who can barely walk, while haveing their platinum streaked hair tied up in a hair bandana looking like Aunt Freakin' Jemima...Ya'll want some pancakes?!

Lol. I don't go for hair cuts much, except yesterday, when I cut all of my hair off, and the girl doing my hair just sawed it all off.

Now I can wear a black hat, and wear tight ass pants, and wear a flimsy sweater. And nobody notices me. Heh.

Aww... my vagina isn't rainbow colored.

I dye my hair different colors every day. When I had long hair I didn't care about my hair too much, and I don't do that obsessive conditioning shit and all of that lathering or whatever. Just slap some goddamn shampoo on your head and scrub. Then use conditioning and scrub again. It's enough for me.

Nevertheless I look like shit every day.

*Cracking up*

Mmph....

Normal pants don't fit me. They fall off. My waist is so fucking tiny. And I'm tall. So I have to have custom made pants. And they come off tight.

Wear a belt.

Well, Poke a hole in the belt itself to a length where it isn't too tight or too loose.

Wait what the hell do you mean it was too tight you saw imprints of it on your dick? you're not supposed to have it belted that low at that tightness you noob.

Get rope.

...Noob?

It slips off even when it's tight. My thighs are a little thicker, so the belt waist sticks there, so I have my pants gripped by my hand everywhere and all the time I walk.

It slips off? What the hell do you do? Dip yourself in vasoline? You're not making sense, a belt should be able to hold up pants.

It's messed up. My belt holds up pants, but when I walk, it shifts to the side, and everytime it shifts to the side it pulls the pants a little bit downward. Plus... the regular pants on me look like parachute pants or some stupid shit like that. Even when It's super ultra mega tightened. Like the waist is tight then the pant legs are inflated.

Hahah are you like doing the tango or some michael jackson shit when you walk?

Its not funny I walk plain and it just shifts off.

*Holding head and twisting/shaking ass while walking michael jackson style*

Yeaaah I'm kidding.

Actually, scratch that. I'll erase the edit...
