There already is a channel just for men, its called C4 from midnight to 6am when they just show sex lines adverts.

Actually last time I actually saw that was over a decade ago but I assume it still exists.

Yeah, I remember watching a story about him on Te Kaea a while ago, and working with kids now, some of whom are struggling with mental illness, I genuinely appreciate what he's doing.

A TV channel with zero reality TV shows ever would be a better use of their time.

So they're going to make a women only tv channel too, right? Right?

I don't know what would be worse, them not making an equivalent tv channel aimed at women or what monstrosities they would consider appropriate for a channel aimed at women.



It'd totally be like non-stop Game of Thrones and Julia Roberts movies, right? I could live with that.

If you want "island style" lifestyle where everything is way more laid back, but still want to live in a real country, with things, and stuff, NZ is pretty good.

But it's also insanely loving boring if you don't care about the natural beauty stuff because you lived around that a hit your entire life.

How are things like job markets and housing costs and stuff. I mean so far the only negative to the country seems to be it being hot as balls?

Job market: bad
Housing costs: expensive, especially in Auckland
I wouldn't say NZ is hot as balls but the lower South Island can get as cold as gently caress.

We're an island nation, so everything is expensive. The stuff we grow here is nice though (although expensive, because gently caress it everything else is). Add to that the cultural melting pot we have going on, and you'll eat well.

You will have a choice to live somewhere affordable, but boring as gently caress, or live somewhere that's obscenely expensive for what it is, and it being only moderately less boring. Oh yeah, and we apparently don't know what insulation is. Everywhere is simultaneously damp, cold, muggy and hot.

Hot as balls? Sure you're not thinking of australia there?

I'm one of those people who tries to convince my overseas friends to move here for a year or so (I wouldn't have to travel so far to visit them). If you live in some monstrous US city then I'd recommend it just as a breath of fresh air and a different experience.
But then again that experience will depend on which part of NZ you go to.

How old are you? If you're young you should come for a study exchange, I've known tons of people who've enjoyed that.
