I'm pretty new here, but it seems to me that having a mens issue forum is not something that will kill diversity, but rather add to it. I mean thats why we have all these different forums in the first place?

Men loose weight differently and unfortunately most of the diet industry advice is aimed at women. This is because most of the Weight loss industry is Big Business (he he pun) and Women are 95% of the customers.

Here in Australia, statisticaly there are more obese men than there are women (I hear it's te other way round in the US). But if you look at who is dieting - 95% is women.

Men need to be encouraged more - thats why I think a forum on mens issues would be good - to encourage the men that aren't necessarily intertested in TOM posts

personally I like diversity - but my vote is for a Men's forum
