Female Members

Any reason why there are no female members to your club? Are they not welcome, or are the significant others not interested?

Joining depends on how good you COOK! :lol: Seriously though,all are welcome.Some of these single guys NEED a woman's input!!! :D

Gary if you saw my pot belly before my diet you would understand how good she cooks.....

Hi! Although I have not been to any meetings, I have posted a couple of times and I am a woman! It is funny that this post is here because I was speaking to another reef lover, who has no tank yet but is very interested, and he was surprised to find out that I had a tank. He made the comment that he has only meet two women who have tanks thus far. I have had tanks for years but a reef for only about a year. Just have to say, I love this board. All the members of the Upstate Reef Society who have responded to me have been very helpful and nice. I hope to attend a meeting soon and buy some cool frags from you guys!!!! We women reefers are out there just not in the same numbers as the men! I would love for other women to attend the meetings with me....Lynn

P.S I am a pretty good cook so I think I will qualify to join your meetings and my kids go to Dr. Benny, does that count for anything???????!!!!!!!

Gary, you say all are welcome, especially if you can cook - I can definitely cook - I had a catering business for 6 years then a restaurant for 4 years.
But part of my question remains unanswered - are the significant others not interested in the hobby?

The answer to your question probably runs the gamut...but it's difficult to live 'around' a spouses reef aquarium and not be interested in SOMETHING that is in it....or at least notice the waters 'gurgling' sounds! ;)
