    @Qbf594 you are correct about those male traits but I feel you're leaving out a few. Such as our penchant for helping out or going out of our way to assist women. Look at this 12 page thread as an example. All she asked is if she should try and gets 12 pages of replies. Meanwhile poor Davi further down the line gets 2. Some guys only get snarky remarks.
     
    Lisa9 Thanks this.

    Good point, Roguefox. I've found that to be true.

    Sorry to take away attention from @Davi. If you read this, good luck to you! Do your research and practice the tests (menu, top right).

    One reason for that might be the lack of females in this industry.
    When one does show some interest in trucking, it is a nice change and addition that many of us support and welcome.
     
    alds and Lisa9 Thank this.

    New trucker please help

    And are you talking about this thread?
    4 pages so far.
    And Devi has barely said a word after the first post.
     
    Lisa9 Thanks this.

    Must be how our settings are because I show 2 pgs. 31 replies to be exact. Regardless I seriously doubt that if the number of women in trucking doubled it would affect how the vast majority of us treat them.
     
    Lisa9 Thanks this.

    I know I've been pleasantly surprised by the encouragement I've received from the members of this forum.

    A simple doubling would not see a great increase in the percentage between men and women in trucking, would it?
    There are not that many out here.
     
    Lisa9 Thanks this.

    Any guesses as to why that is, Moosetek13?

    Maybe because, in general, it is a lonely life?


    By the way, on another topic from back when...
    I am home again, and digitizing the Jeremy Brett Sherlock Holmes series.
    I've watched a couple so far, and I agree with myself that he is the best Sherlock, and this is the best version of Sherlock be it movie or show.

    Now, if I could only find a way to get the Avengers in Region 1...

    No, not the super hero stuff.
    The 60's TV show Avengers with John Steed and Emma Peel.
     
    Lisa9 Thanks this.
