Men using Glow? Does it bother anyone else?

Question

This app is for women to track and learn about their fertility. Am I wrong?

It creeps me out to see men in here writing posts and giving advice! It's like they're in the women's bathroom or something. Get out! 😠

Answer

Glow can be used for couples who are TTC. Glow Nurture is for those who are pregnant.  Men have a right to be apart of that with their spouses. It personally doesn't bother me when I see men post when it pertains to their journey. There are those who are on here being idiots but there are 5x the number of women doing the same.

Answer

My husband has the app only to log his information on what's going on with him. And so he can see and know what's going on with me. I think it's wonderful as long as the men aren't being rude, perverted, or disgusting

Answer

My husband has been thinking about joining glow and I see no problem with it. It definitely shouldn't creep you out. It's a way of them not only showing support but men also do have concerns and worries about pregnancy so I think it's awesome that they can come here and share those worries with people and get answers.

Answer

I don't really care too much. I think it's nice that some men are into wanting to learn more and be a part of this. I agree that there should be a spouse section, but that doesn't mean that they will stay there. I'm sure they get grossed out looking at the tmi posts...lol What best way to get answers about women, then from women :-)

Answer

That's fine to be a part of it with your spouse. But if you were talking about personal, female things with a group of women and a man (not your spouse) suddenly walked in, you're telling me you wouldn't stop talking? You'd be comfortable?

I'm utterly shocked this many women (or men) don't care.

Answer

If you're willing to share private information online, you shouldn't be so creeped out when men see it. How do you know half the "women" on these apps aren't really men? Come on, use your brains. It's the Internet.

Answer

I have no problem with it. I actually love that must husband downloaded the app.  He is part of this journey too and it is nice for him to be able to easily see what is going on.

We all have no problems posting personal stuff or tmi stuff on here to a group of strangers that we assume are women, but there is nothing to say it isn't a spouse using the app on his so's phone etc...my sharing or not sharing info won't change in an annonymous forum. And anyway it is such a socially taboo subject of discussion that I have no problem having men involved in the squirmy conversations if it helps break down so.e of the menstruation shaming that our society is so fond of.

I haven't personally seen men being perverted on here, but I don't think it's fair to villianise them for being male if they're being rude. As other posters have said, there are way more women being rude and judgemental in this community than there are men.

Just my two cents of why I really don't give any though to the gender of those participating in these forums.  At the end of the day, to each their own. 💙

Answer

There is an option to invite your spouse to use Glow and be included in this journey together.

Answer

Yes!!! There are some always on here asking for photos or personal questions like explain how you've been with a girl. Or post photos of your boobs etc. just gross! I wish they where never on here, even if their spouse is. Mines not. Why would he want to be? I tell him everything anyway.

Answer

They should have a spouses page cause i dont really like them on here and i do know they have a right but that still creeps me out.. Glow make a page that men can express their feeling with a community better suited for them please
