A question of balance

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Teach them to type again, like the good old days.

It seems to be a catfight as it is!

We should get our women posters to encourage their women friends to join. None of the blokes on here know any women, we are nerds who like to argue on the internet! :hattip: :beer3:

Absolutely! "Tennis Girl" and Farah Fawcett in the orange swimsuit were my favorite women posters when I was in my teens.
Or I am misunderstanding something?

Yes, you seem to have omitted One Million Years BC, Raquel Welch - but 2/3 isn't too shabby to be honest! :hattip:

Are you mixing unbalanced with unhinged, perchance?

It's a waste of time encouraging more women to join as members if other members continue to make derogatory and demeaning remarks about females . They may join up but never post. This forum should be family friendly, not just a forum for guys only talk. The one thing that has always bugged me on this and tof is the way members can curse and swear at other members they don't even know, and have never met, and if they did meet them they would never have the guts to say the same things to them face to face. So let's start there and respect every member here and hopefully keep the female members we have, then we may be able to attract more women to Join us.

There’s a good chance they’re taking heed of Groucho, vis a vis this hallowed venue.

Exactly why we need more women members ;)
