Yo Troops,
This was originally in response to another post, but I felt the subject matter warranted a Thread all it's own------for visibility purposes:
Interpreting The Mature Man Charter
A War Room Meeting: Concerning the topics of Field Reports, Forum Rules, and the possibility of Topic Expansion.
I think that the problem may not be so much FIELD REPORTS in and of themselves, but rather, the subject of said field report. It's true; many of us feel we are generally BEYOND the more basic applications of woman-attracting----and as such, we don't really have a need to post about our experiences in that regard.
I'm sure that this doesn't apply to everyone, and no disrespect to anyone who does need advice from time to time on that aspect of life, but at some point evidence of our growth should manifest.
And ONE manifestation of growth is when men NO LONGER post about the basics, but rather, post about things on a higher level. For some of us, we are more interested in WHY things work-----as opposed to just HOW to make things work on a situation by situation basis.
Theoretical, philosophical, and/or scientific exposition is THE realm of the Mature Man----because only when a man owns a concept can he confidently convey it to others.
Only BOYS are satisfied with learning "how" to be masculine just to achieve an instant gratification, but only MEN hunger for, and strive to UNDERSTAND the importance of "why" it's important for him to be masculine in a positive, continuously fulfilling sense.
Understanding our fascination with women is but one factor in the equation of "figuring out" the WHOLE of what makes our lives worth living------there are SO MANY other things we should be considering and focusing on as well.
I, for one, have grown weary of ONLY speaking on the subject of women in this Mature Man Forum. There are many things that could be discussed in Anything Else, but there are MANY things I'd like to post about that are STILL directed at mature men that have absolutely nothing to do with women. BUT----please do not "parrot" the knee-jerk response of "there are OTHER forums for that", because I am of course, well aware of that.
The thing is, there are probably men on here who have the ability, where with all, and the DESIRE to form a Network that can be used to help benefit the members of this forum in MANY different areas of life----not JUST in "male/female relationships" ONLY.
I value the intelligence and the insights of MANY men on here, it would seem to me that opening up the subject range of the MM Forum COULD make it a more overall beneficial forum for those who frequent here. Let's face it, NOTHING will replace the popularity of women ("plate-spinning"), but could there not be SOME value in adding "cups", "saucers", "Knives", "spoons", and "forks" to the MM Table as well?
Those rare times I have ever written MODERATORS (about other things) in the past, I have received NO REPLY. So I will post a new question for ANY Moderator who may choose to address it:
Since the Mature Man Charter (on the Home Page) states that it is this:
A forum for DJs at least 25 years old to discuss problems, situations, and techniques UNIQUE to older and more mature men.
Is it even ALLOWABLE for us men to address topics OTHER than those concerning women and/or relationships IN THIS FORUM-----as long as it is adequately targeted at mature men?
Oh, and if I get no PUBLIC answer from an appropriately sanctioned Moderator, then I, and everyone else here will just CONTINUE to assume that the answer is probably "No".
No disrespect is intended by this OPEN LETTER to the SoSuave Pentagon. This is merely a request for a PUBLIC clarification.
Carry on.
