It occurred to me that female bloggers get a lot more commentors than males and I believe this is because there are more women reading blogs. In my expert opinion, I feel the blogs have replaced the soap operas and this is where women turn to hear the voice of other women. Now I could continue on, bitching about how unjust this is, or I could join the ranks of female bloggers.
This is exactly what I did back in December. I wanted to prove to myself that women get commentors and readers much quicker than males, especially males who write about drinking. I started writing from the eyes of a crazy chick and it did pick up traffic and commentors much quicker than my male blog. I thought about continuing on as a female blogger, but I liked my female character so much that I've decided to use her in my book. So, Lisa died as soon as she started in the blogging world, but she will live on in the book I'm writing.
I also started feeling a little bad when other people started commenting and saying how they can totally relate. I don't want to be the voice for the crazy people, although I probably could, so I decided to leave the female blog behind, stop writing so much here, and start writing a book. Let's face it, blogs don't pay the bills, unless you're some blogger who started writing before blogs were big.

BBSD, Don't you DARE back off from this blog, buster! You're one of the few treats in my life, and I don't like being denied my treats. You're like chocolate, or Nancy Grace, or a new pair of shoes - these are things I count on and can't live without. Like it or not, buddy, you're in that group. You can still work on your book, I'm working on mine, but don't abandon your duties to your faithful followers.
Am I making myself perfectly clear?
(Btw, I read "Lisa's" stuff - it was almost as funny as yours!)
Well aren't you tricky? I think you're a better MAN blogger. Some of your topics were relatable but I like the beer drinking over here better. It's great that you're going to write a book, but please don't just leave us cold turkey!-V
I won't pose as a woman because I don't want the creepy fucking men on this website to read/comment on anything I have to say.
I'll have to go see if you really were believable as a woman.
I don't know, maybe Lisa is real and bbsd is really the rants of a crazy woman!
I don't see it that way. I think some women online are interested in hooking up. Or at least I know some who say they aren't~ but have met bfs that way. I think it depends on Which women you are talking about.
Maybe you title is the problem?
I sort of like it, but....~Mary
it is a good thing to embrace one's 'female side' a thing that i tend to do often myself especially when drinking!
i do ask you to please continue posting on this site as well for the simple enjoyment of the folks that do read it, thanks.
Don't kid yourself buster, we're just smarter, funnier and a damn site more interesting.
Don't go I'll miss you!
who are you? the male Emily Bronte?
please do keep it up. lisa is a very interesting individual!
I never said I was ending the blog, just not writing as often. I will continue writing the blog and drinking the beer.
I'm thinking personal autographed first edition. I was gonna write a book one but "her indoors" took the crayons off me for getting wax on the wallpaper.
HAHAHA! I'll send you a new box for Christmas.
I think there are more MALE bloggers. They're just horny, and leave more comments on female's blogs.
