Why do no guys talk about adoption?

Question

Serious question here. Where are the guys. the few that answer seem way off. im adopted an my girlfriend told me to come here but the guys are crazy

Answer 1

I answer all the time.

Answer 2

We are here.  Is there something in particular you are looking to discuss?

Answer 3

Women are generally more willing to talk about something that is so personal.

In addition, a little girl is almost twice as likely to be adopted than a little boy, so there are more women who have been adopted out there as well.

Answer 4

I was reading something on this yesterday and I do believe it was one of the men here that made the point that society pretty much pounded a guy into the ground for having emotions. That is a very true statement. Times have changed but not enough to bring the men out in flocks talking about their feelings. I'm in my 50's and the stereotyping that men don't cry or talk about their feelings continued long after I was a child. Be patient, keep coming, and spread the word  that we need more males in here. I have talked to my daughters father about this site, talk about a Neanderthal, he doesn't even own a computer and says he never will. LOL but we love him anyway. He would be a great one to have on here he is a relinquishing father with a conscience. He has a story to tell but won't. I'm the only one he will talk to about what he went through and I am sworn to secrecy on most of it.

Answer 5

My brother asks the same thing, he is adopted, but he answers as many questions and things when he can.. and luckily he isn't one of the crazy ones, as he lived through it and happily helps people with questions like birth vs real parents and all that stuff.... Some people just want to help with their opinions, and don't really know whats going on I guess though as per the answers that seem way off. That's all I can tell you!

Answer 6

There are pleanty of guys on here!

FELIX--sorry for your c**p life, go get help to deal with your issues. You really shouldnt be on here if your so messed up.

Answer 7

Well, I am a guy, I clearly talk about adoption a lot (though lately I've been avoiding doing as much of it here).  I still have my stolen "top contributor" badge, for whatever that's worth.  I don't know if you think I'm one of the crazy ones or not.  I know my wife does, but she insists she loves me anyway.  :)

But you are right, men aren't as likely to talk about adoption.  Indeed, in my experience, men aren't as likely to talk about anything personal and potentially emotional.  Still, there are a few of us.  You are not alone.

Answer 8

Well that is because I didn't get a wonderful nice home like you.

Abuse makes you a little crazy after awhile.

Answer 9

Don't worry, I'm here. I love talking about adoption, and I'll try to make appearances here in the adoption section on the regular. Feel free to answer any questions you see of mine posted here.
