<p>because i'm bored, and curious...</p>
<p>i've seen lots of posts with ppl assuming someone's gender, and then the previous poster correcting them...it's an interesting occurence...</p>
<p>so what's the default that you assume? or do you base it off what the username is?</p>
<p>I usually base mostly off the username... sometimes on the types of posts they make if the username could go either way.
I've been assumed to be a male before for some reason...</p>
<p>People have though I'm a guy, too. I may be a half a step behind TheVeganActr*ess* on the unquestionable femininity scale, but still... :p</p>
<p>Usually I go by the tone in the message. I'm always, wrongly, assumed to be a guy, so now I sometimes mention in posts that I'm indeed a girl, especially in certain threads. People assume cowtipping is more of a guy thing.</p>
<p>Unless it's really obvious (when the username states or hints at a gender) I normally assume the nice posters are girls and rude posters are guys.. and I really don't know why and I know that reason is kind of ridiculous.. <em>shrug</em></p>
<p>I figured people would realize "Cookie" is a girly username...</p>
<p>i've oft been assumed to be a male, as well (i'm a girl)...idk, i just find it really amusing.</p>
<p>no one has ever guessed my name wrong or right since no one even tried to :D anyone interested to try? (although mine's pretty straight forward and easy to figure out) I always write like s/he if required and when once I did not write so, VeganActress pointed out that the person is SHE! I guess we can rather say it as 'the CCer' or 'the person' 'the thing' :D (forget it, I'm getting too crappy)</p>
<p>Most people think I'm a guy (I am), but one person thought I was a girl.</p>
<p>zel just seems like a guys name (Senator Zel Miller).<br>
asifkhan, I guess that you are a guy.
kaseyditz, I guess names almost exactly the same way you do and it's worked out OK so far.</p>
<p>Huh. I don't usually assume gender at all. Rather, the only thing about a person I assume is that they are nerdy if they come here...</p>
<p>As for what I "see", that's rather nebulous - as in, I see y'all as vague, cloudy shapes. :D</p>
<p>The CC'er is most accurately an it, methinks.</p>
<p>Or we could do like the Forbes dude did - blend "he, she, or it" into "h'orsh'**". I'm fine with that! :D</p>
<p>Anyone care to guess my gender based on my writing style? Interestingly, there was discussion over this at the GameFAQs board I frequent, which then spilled over into a guild I am a member of...it was a fun discourse.</p>
<p>It is quite blatantly obvious that you belong to the female species. :cool:</p>
<p>Basically by talking that I could figure it's a guy or a girl. =P </p>
<p><---- Was assumed as a guy [coughs]You[coughs]know[coughs]who[coughs]you[coughs]are![coughs]</p>
<p><--- Used to be SNEAKiiE </p>
<p>Ha ha ha!</p>
<p>=] Happy Asian New Year everyone! x]</p>
<p>Are you OK? You might want to have that cough checked up. ;)</p>
<p>No, I'm not. =] I'm hyper in my room. x] I think I ate too many oreos with peanut butter and drank 5 cans of Coca Cola. Bad idea. :] </p>
<p>Care to take care of me? ;D</p>
<p>XD</p>
<p>Yessir, Chaos Theory! And you hold the dubious honor of being the third in the history of ever to answer correctly!</p>
<p>Actually, it's probably because I type more expressively here. The GameFAQs thing was a flag, too.</p>
<p>I love Gamefaqs. xD Best web site ever. >P</p>
<p>GameFAQs> GameSpot. CJayC sold out, and the GameSpotters can be quite the nuisance. >_></p>
<p>PUNKiiE, you on the boards over there?</p>
<p>I haven't been mistaken for a guy yet, but I think "camelia" is pretty feminine. Someone did call me "camel" once, though. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>edit: On a somewhat related note, since camelia sinensis is the Latin name of the tea plant, I've occasionally been referred to as "tea girl" (which is oh-so-appropriate and always makes me smile a little).</p>
<p>Punkie---That should be Happy Chinese New Year!</p>
