What does "diverse in terms of participants" mean to you? Backgrounds? Nationalities? Work?

Yes, this form is for boomer women, but I will say that we've never kept other women out of here (unless there was a problem), and we've always welcome the younger set (or anyone else) when they've arrived and stayed to chat. They never stay that long though as they admit up front we don't share the same interest, in a lot of cases.

I get tickled when I read your other responses because you have no idea what all Dotsie does to promote this forum...where all she goes with info about it. How do you know that a market survey hasn't already been done?


"Diverse" --all of the above criteria.
Maybe as a suggestion, for Dotsie's blog, since it might be easy there rather than here..to share who she meets when talking up about her biz to promote it. I don't go to the National Assoc. Baby Boomer site, partially because some of it is product /service promotional. Some of it has less relevance ..and I'm unemployed right now. Makes less sense for me to go internationally online, to buy when it's cheaper and more convenient at home here in a big city.

Anyway I shouldn't say any of this? Then perhaps an online market survey on existing posters/interested so that we can respond to survey questions individually. Or maybe it's been done here for the forum members..just not aware.

Just thoughts. Hope I didn't upset anyone here.
It's okay, jawjaw I do go elsewhere for another women-centred forums. It is abit more diverse, more members from around the world, more women of colour...the cultural vibe is abit different elsewhere and easier to join.

But another time to chat on this.
