LOL I've never purchased makeup or bags either (not a normal item for this girl anyway), but I can barely keep track of of all the domain names I've spent money on though.
I recently found 2 forums for women... Phenominal Women LinkedIn Women (part of the LinkedIn network - my profile)
There are a lot of groups/boards for women...you just have to look for them. http://www.wise-women.org/ http://www.womendesignersgroup.com/ http://www.internetbasedmoms.com/bb/index.php http://www.webgrrls.com/onlinemixer/wgforums http://www.freelancemom.com/forum/ I don't know if other countries have this, but in the US there are typically women's business associations for each state, and many cities, which have their own message boards or other online networking events.
yeah, like I said, I know they're out there. I just seem to tend have interests that draw me to communities where women are definitely, er, scarce. it's just neat seeing more women at DP than I remember from before ^^
You can add me to that list as well. I never post at boards that are all women...I tried to once, and just found it boring. I prefer to hang out with the guys.
I thought there would be pics of woman or at least steamy gossip. I didn't know it was all going to be webmaster talk. General Chat really let me down this time.
I feel ripped off too! I thought this was gonna be like the Personal Ads in the local newspaper: "Single woman, independently wealthy, strong resemblance to a supermodel, loves sex and plenty of it, seeks man, any man, looks, financial status, and age not important as long as he's breathing." I was going to recommend compar
But, Have you seen Compar's latest avatar? I don't think he still falls under the 'breathing' request.
Maybe it's just me, but when I picture a bunch of female webmasters getting together I, always picture it like a big slumber party. A bunch of women sitting around in PJs talking about which DP guys are the most dreamy, brushing each other’s long hair, and finally having a big pillow fight. I, also, imagine the conversation goes something like this, “Do you think Hodgedup likes me?†“I don’t know. I dare you to instant message him.†“OMG!!! No way!!!†giggle giggle giggle. I mean apparently it’s a lot different then when male webmasters get together, because that’s pretty much how it goes when we all get in one place.
No, it's more like "I really prefer Hamachi over the other connectivity tools" "I can't believe my boss said I could take those 40gig hard drives" "You've really got to get more fresh content on your site" "Can you believe guys actually pay to get into that site, it's so lame"
