Did anyone see a poll from McCracken today entitled - "Another One for Kicks".. or something like that...

Had some good stats on masterbation, sex frequency, years married, kids, etc.

Please advise.. I was tracking it and now I can't find it. I think the masterbation stats will say alot about other threads I've seen here and how people feel about such activity..

Thanks much..

are you a troll? you register today and pick out two inappropriate threads on which to comment.

Are you here for a real reason or just here to stir up trouble?

Lateralus,

We have loving people here going through the worst kind of pain possible, so we are quite sensitive to posters that appear to be here for enjoyment.

Please tell us your story so we can help.

are you dealing with infidelity or did you come looking for something to sensationalize?

I'm happily married and here proactively.. a friend mentioned the site to me and he had been sending me some clips so I thought I would sign in..

I'm here because I choose to be here.. that's it folks...

Am I not entitled to post or something?

Thanks for the WARM welcome..

You do understand that makes absolutely no sense - especially with your taste in threads.

If you are happily married, what are you doing on an infidelity forum? Are you proactively trying to avoid your wife cheating on you? Read His Needs/Her Needs.

My post makes no sense.. I'm here to remain faithful and ensure I'm giving my W what she needs.. I read that book many moons ago.. it's ok.. read better....

So can I not be here learning or do I have to suffer the pain of infidelity to earn that right...

And why would my taste in threads be questioned? Is that not a DJ, as Mr. Harley would put it? Again.. more attacks.. why the hostility ?

Hey all,

Thought I'd chime in here where everyone should see it to let you all know that Mrs. W and I will be returning from our vacation in Florida tomorrow. We had a wonderful time and we've missed you all.

Cheers,

Mr. Wondering

Welcome to the forum. Seems to me if you want to be proactive for your marriage, you'd be reading a variety of topics- not picking out the ones that are controversial and have been locked or deleted.

We have lots of folks who drop by the forums here, pick up on some off the wall threads and draw attention away from some other folks who are seriously hurting.

It is a sad thing. That is why we asked why you are here- sometimes those people are really hurting but don't kno quite how to ask for help so they draw attention to themselves in other way. We are just cutting to the chase by asking why you are here.

Since your marriage is so great, we'll leave you to it and try to encourage those who are hurting.

Mr. W, I'll look forward to seeing you and Mrs. W more this week. Have a safe trip home.

Why is the GQII forum so hostile? I really do wonder.

I'm glad I'm not brand new around here. I might get the impression that betrayed people always cursed to become bitter and vindictive and angry.

You all need a hug!

Let's just try to break this down a little.

The poster has read the book but apparently does not have a very high opinion of it and yet wants to come and give others sage advice which, by extrapolation of his opinion of the Harley's, could logically be expected to go against forum guidelines.

Also, for a poster who has been registered for a few short hours, he has picked up amazingly well on all the TLA's and other terminology that took me much longer to learn. My gut impression is that this is not a brand new poster new to the forum happily married yet recommended by a "friend" for some as yet unexplained reason.

Maybe the friend knows that the poster is a brilliant marriage saver and we can all be blessed by his wisdom. Don't know. Time will tell.

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck...

I'll just click the ignore button for the poster. This is an unnecessary distraction.

If you both read the other thread "Justuss" it might give you some idea of what is going on here.

That is my impression - something is going on and it does not add up. It is blatantly amiss.

Early on you told me that poll was innocent fun. Do you still feel that way? If so, I'll trust your judgement and forget all about it.
