Ladies Where Are YOU?

Have you noticed that most Forum participants & moderators are men? Ladies where are you ?

JoAnn

Do I hear a cry of despiration? We guys are friendly. We do need a mix. I agree.

Moby

Everyone is welcome to these forums. We know that there are females wackos out there.

JoAnn: I'm here, but then I don't have a man to hog my PC! Think quite a few couples are involved here but the guys do all the talking!

Sue

No desperation,I know you guys are friendly,just trying to recruit for the Forum!

Hi there JoAnn,
I think there are more ladies out there than meets the eye, and I would like to stand up and be counted as one {=^+^=}. I like to talk in the chat room, would love to see you there !! A definite WACKO and Lady Lighthouse Lover of HL = WLLHL

Keeping the Flame,
Kat

Just a little information on why there maybe more guys on the forums. Harbour Lights was honored last year as the number one collectible among men in the USA, and don't forget Polly, moderator since the start of the clubs forum.

St.Paul,I didn't forget Polly as moderator! That's why I stated most[not all]are men.

Even though my handle is a guy's, make sure I'll tallied correctly. Sidd=Cindy
The females are here, I just think the guys talk more.
(The above is an opinion and does not and should not be interprested as the opinion of the HL society, other members or any associates there of)

I'm the one that started our collection by getting a present from my sisters. Al didn't get really interested until after the Assateague mold broke. Then we started on a great hunt to find as many HLs as possible. I give him a hard time about that one. I spend more time reading the Forum than participating and don't alway have time for that.

Hi everyone,

Yes. there are plenty of women who read the forum. I don't know enough about the lighthouses to offer much in the way of information. Plus being in the center of the country doesn't allow for much in the way of lighthouse viewing.

But I'm here, just not very noisy.

OK Sidd - Now you did it! Even though I've been around forever, I'm still a "Newbie," but you, Mombo and Kat are all Wackos. You must talk more than me. My fingers still only work if I have something to say. I'm just so jealous of you ladies.

(This is where I'd put the happy face if I talked enough to know how to do it.)

This is my 1st reply to a forum. Iam
hoping this goes through. It doesn't seem
to want to accept my password which I
have checked 3X.
I am a female HL collector, new to HL
since Sept.

I too am a new collector, since December. Even stranger than that, I have never laid eyes on a real lighthouse (other than the Statue of Liberty) and am about as far inland as I can get.
My friends call me Suzzi, 'cause I'm a lady in love with Harbour Lights. It must be the quality in both of us.

Hi all you newbie lads and lasses!!
Welcome.
I have been a member of these forums for over a year now
and have enjoyed them very much. We ladies have been out numbered
but maybe that will change now. I have participated in some chats. Lots of
fun and very informative. Of late though all my free time has been used in planning my daughter's wedding. Hope to get back in the swing of things soon.
This is a good topic, JoAnn. A "roll call" for all HL ladies out there.
Should have thought of it myself!! I love it!

Great to hear from the HL ladies out there! [ and the fellows too ]

Good question, JoAnn. And lots of information on those who use a gender-nonspecific 'screen name'. Several new posters. Welcome.

Paul notes that Harbour Lights appeals to men. Isn't that because we wouldn't be caught dead collecting Barbie Dolls? Or Beanie Babies (Has the crash arrived)? [I ask rhetorically.]

Beautifully detailed sculptures of (mostly) American lighthouses, recalling the era when one man (and in several cases, one woman) would dare all to guide and rescue mariners in peril.

Just thinking... at 5:15 am here.

I think wackiness (or whatever the state of being a wacko is) is a guy thing -- have to have every edition made plus all the variations in very low numbers! Although I certainly seem to be exhibiting some wacko symptoms, so maybe not.

JoAnn,

I feel very remiss about not replying to your posting earlier. Since I often read the postings around midnight I often "think" I've replied when in fact I have not (sad but true).

Yes I am yet another female on the Forum and the number appears to be growing each week. It's unfortunate you missed out on a late night chat with some women discussing having an "all woman" HL Cruise. Of course that would not be PC however, late night, at the end of a chat, most anything can be discussed.

If John still needs a moderator (Cruise Director), perhaps another female would be interested. I don't want to be the only one wearing the white linen short & worrying about panty lines.

It's daylight outside (90 degrees) so I KNOW this is really being posted.
