Determining Gender in CC

<p>This is really bothering me. Yes, one of the reasons I started this thread is because I am monumentally bored, but still. </p>

<p>How can you tell what gender someone is on CC unless they specifically state it OR their screen name reveals it? And even then??</p>

<p>Their username? Their sport? I assume you are a girl... </p>

<p>Me? I'm a guy.</p>

<p>yeah. Funny enough, I thought you were a girl for the longest time (Viola is a girl name, i didn't think through the principal part) until you said that you were a guy. See??</p>

<p>Sorry, but aside from my screen name, I don't think there's any way to tell that I'm a gorl. and it bothers me a little bit.</p>

<p>I did not even know viola was a girl name, haha. I am the principal chair of my orchestra and I play viola. Hence principalviola.</p>

<p>You can't tell. Well, at least, I can't. </p>

<p>..I just pray that I get their gender right when addressing them :X</p>

<p>AND LOL PRINCIPALVIOLA, for the LONGEST time, i thought you were a girl!! :S</p>

<p>PV....I noticed pan always refers to you as "he"; I always thought you were a girl because of "viola". Wasn't there a "Viola" on Charlie Brown? I realize it is your instrument, but the first thing I thought of when I saw it was the name.</p>

<p>Oh well... now you know... I text like a girl, haha, so I guess my internet habits are girlish?</p>

<p>no. Typing is generally gender-neutral. I guess it just bothers me so much because I go to a school with tons of Barbies that make me feel ugly/non-feminine</p>

<p>Well... Girls tend to "!!!!", "OMG", "w t f", and ":), :D, :(, ;(" more. </p>

<p>I hate the 60 seconds between posts rule.</p>

<p>yeah me too it sucks. the most i do is "lolz" or "!!!!" or "!?!?!?".</p>

<p>I am a dude, but I find it interesting trying to guess who is what. Viola, I guessed girl too...but in retrospect...dude.</p>

<p>well I might have guessed you were a guy (hammer sounds rather masculine).</p>

<p>But, let's say, DiveAlive. Other than her most recent profession of love for lisi harrison, I couldn't have guessed. And if my name wasn't feminine-sounding, I could be mistaken for a dude.</p>

<p>But if you have intriguing thoughts and offer an interesting point of view...I like you, chick or dude...</p>

<p>same here. One reason that I love CC is because it isn't full of a buch of attractive idiotic numbskull poopooheads that never read and don't care if they fail math as long as they can still get drunk at parties and smoke pot.</p>

<p>My school is filled with everything you describe. After school when I come home and listen to some conservative **** people wonder if I have hypertension.</p>

<p>well I am attractive and sometimes I am a numbskull poopoohead but I definitely do not ever want to fail anything. Nix the drugs and alcohol.</p>

<p>my school has the most drugs for a junior high in the county.
I could overlook it a little if the weren't so stupid AND pretty.</p>

<p>I am too hot for my own good, oh god please save me. People at my school think drugs are OK. I mean pot is one thing but I have heard of people do heroin. And boy, that totally ****s things up.</p>

<p>wow I know some people do hard drugs (overhearing pops), but i have no idea who. 15 is the very oldest anyone at my school is.</p>

<p>I am told that I am pretty but the fact is it is more of a classical beauty and not the flashy clothes/makeup/hair that girls at my school have.</p>

<p>But the guys are so damn hott! like there are some supermodels in the making. I almost can't keep myself from staring.</p>

<p>My school is pretty cool. It is small. Not too much drugs, just pot mostly and most do not smoke it. I do see heroin addicts on the streets downtown though.</p>
