Gender Poll

[Scheherazade]

Following the discussion in the Superman or Batman??? (http://www.online-literature.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4138) thread, I wonder what the gender distribution in the forum is...

[Yorkie]

Even of the regular contributers, I haven't managed to work out who is male and who is female!

[Jay]

Ask and you shall receive an answer... :p

[Scheherazade]

Maybe this poll would help remove some of the mystery at least :)

[Yorkie]

Scheherazade, I had you down correct, but Jay - I thought you were male! :eek2:

[Jay]

Join the club, Yorkie :D
Why did you think so? Was it the name?

[Scheherazade]

My avatar is a great give-away, I guess :D

I thought you were male, Yorkie! :eek:

[Jay]

Hey, my avatar... she's a female as well, that blue lass on the avy and still I was considered male.

I thought Yorkie was a female, not sure why as I don't really remember any post of hers other than this thread... but from her first post in this thread I guessed she's a she... don't ask :D

[Scheherazade]

don't ask :D
Never intended to! :D

[Jay]

Liar :lol:

[Scheherazade]

*checks her jeans*
No fires here, so nope! :D

[Jay]

Something about 'breaking wind' was it? comes to mind... talk about hijacking your thread :angel:

[Scheherazade]

And I don't intend to inquire about the connection there either! :D

[Jay]

SMART move ;) :lol:

[mono]

I have the worst intuition with this guess, I think.
While first joining the forum, I knew Scheherazade and subterranean were females, though I know not why; Jay, I thought you male, perhaps with 'Jay' being a more masculine name here in the U.S. Others I guessed quite well, except with the newer members, who confuse me.
Thinking of which, we all know Admin is male, but what about Logos? :D

[baddad]

My screen name is not meant to be a facade and my gender is easily discerned.....BUT, ....

...The tone of a post can fool a person into genderizing the poster. Their were many posts by a certain person who shall remain unnamed, that I found sensitive, caring, rational, informed and sometimes self depracating, not the least bit egocentric......and I ASSUMED.......these posts were written by a woman, as these are the traits often identified as feminine.......and I find I am wrong............and happily so........

I love the fact that men and women are evolving socially at such a quick pace. IT is only a few decades since women couldn't vote, and men were mostly neanderthalic.....and society was okay with that.......

[Scheherazade]

Because the society was made of by the said men and women...

[Stanislaw]

heh, there were a couple of names that I had guessed wrong, yorkie and psyche, I thought they was male. :cool:

[Scheherazade]

Seems like the Forum is more or less balanced :)

[Jay]

all 15 members anyways ;)

[Scheherazade]

sample regular poster group ;)

[lhaeber]

figures i would be the one to put absolute balance into the poll....i am a libra, donchano?

[Stanislaw]

balance... that word just doesn't seem to fit around hear! :D :D :D

[baddad]

balance... that word just doesn't seem to fit around hear! :D :D :D

Jeeez!!! I;m glad SOMEBODY said it!!!! Balance?? Gonna have to look that one up in the dictionary...............

[Molko]

Hmmm... I thought that Jay was a male too :) And quite strangely I thought that Scheherazade was one also, even though she has a fairy on her avatar ..... *not implying anything by the way :)*

[Stanislaw]

lmao! hahahaha, ohwell, sad what amuses you after hours of playing yahoo chess. :D

[lhaeber]

Jeeez!!! I;m glad SOMEBODY said it!!!! Balance?? Gonna have to look that one up in the dictionary...............
I feel shame. I am soooo sorry to have incorrectly attributed such a false label. Maybe I should go hang out near my locker and stare down at my feet while you all pass me by, laughing at my attempt to join in.
Sniff :bawling:

[Jay]

How's it your fault baddad and obviously Stan as well don't know the meaning of 'balance'? There be no hanging around here... we only do walking the plank ;)

Btw, Ihaeber, I thought you were a guy :D

[shortysweetp]

i thought jay was a guy until a few weeks ago.

sorry i havent posted in awhile been on spring break vacation at my in-laws lake house. no computer there or cable tv :( but the scenery was nice

[lhaeber]

I love that, I have "manlike" writing. Hmmmmmm...it's a good thing people think we're of the opposite gender only when we write and not when they see us. So far, for me anyways.

[baddad]

* Legal Waiver*

" BALANCE " = to be in equilibrium, which I am implying that most minds on this forum (luckily so ) are not in a complete state of. I mean to imply no other interpretation....

[Scheherazade]

*Legal Waiver*

The earlier mention of 'balance' by myself within this thread refers only to the equal numbers of male and female members of the Forum who replied to the Poll.

I do not wish to make any comments or spread any rumours regarding the mental and emotional state of the said members -neither now nor in future- although I reserve the right to pass judgements privately. :D

[lhaeber]

Good judgement comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgement.

Didn't mean to spark defensive maneuvering (sp?)...obviously my efforts towards humour need a little reviewing before I type.
I'll be okay though, 'cause you can't keep a good man down.

[EAP]

lol, the forum is distributed just like I thought. Most of the lit-related forums I have visited seem to have more girls than guys. I suppose the reasons are self-evident, eh? :p

[amuse]

??? - so confused, the springs in my head are going boing!

[subterranean]

I went to see a doctor some time ago and all this time I thought I was a female..

Kilte exile is male??

[mono]

I have no idea why, but many, many people mistake me as female. :confused:
I do not feel offended, worry not, just wondering for any reasons.

[Psyche]

Mono, dearest. I have not yet met a girl as femme-tastic as you. You possess the qualities of extreme compassion, kindness, and generosity.
Shy and blushing easily, you are the anti-alpha male.
(And you talk to flowers)
:D

[Stanislaw]

lol, the forum is distributed just like I thought. Most of the lit-related forums I have visited seem to have more girls than guys. I suppose the reasons are self-evident, eh? :p
lol, now that be back to the balance issue, :D

[IWilKikU]

Everyone thinks Jay is a guy at first, until you hear her crooning over a 'sweet kitty' or somthing rediculous like that :rolleyes: :D. I also thought Sub was a guy back in the day (that is I used to think she is, not I think she used to be :D), but I can't believe that no one ever thought of doing a poll before now. I vaugely remember someone doing a thread, but not a poll.

[Jay]

Hey Kik, I do not croon over kitties, I merely state the fact that Crisaor's avy is a cute little kitty... AH, ok, I gotcha now ;) :lol:

[i_rock_poems]

Why does it matter whether we are male or female in our world we should be who we are and hope for the best of others.

[Jay]

It doesn't matter in the sense that people here would be dying to know, it's just... interesting I guess. Welcome on board btw :wave:

[kilted exile]

Kilte exile is male??

Yes, Kilted exile is male.
The only other time I can recall that anyone confused me for a girl is when I was about 2 and this shopowner offered my mother a bangle "for her pretty daughter" - At this point in time my hair was kinda long & curly.

[subterranean]

Apologize, but I found some of your posts are quite "girlie" :D :D


Posted by camper : Hey Kik, I do not croon over kitties, I merely state the fact that Crisaor's avy is a cute little kitty... AH, ok, I gotcha now

Well only girls do that camper...:D

[Stanislaw]

Yeah I think Jay and SubT are the two commonest misconsemptions. many poster think they are male at first.

[kilted exile]

Apologize, but I found some of your posts are quite "girlie" :D :D

Ok, I will do my best to make my posts more masculine sounding in the future. Starting with this one GRR..THUMP...SMASH....DRINK....PUKE....FIGHT (this better? :D :D )

[lhaeber]

I smell testosterone

[subterranean]

Yep, those will do :nod:

:D

[Jay]

GRR..THUMP...SMASH....DRINK....PUKE....FIGHT
Well, if you forget about the 'drink'... that's me on a bad day when it's better to get out of my way ;)... well, as well as the 'puke' one as that comes along with 'drink'...
Do I sound more girlie now? :lol:

[IWilKikU]

Nope, thats why people mistake you for a guy. ;)

[Koa]

I have no idea why, but many, many people mistake me as female. :confused:
I do not feel offended, worry not, just wondering for any reasons.

Er, count me in...

At first I thought sub was a male too...and Taliesin a girl. I don0t think I've thought of Jay as a male, actually I've happened to think that back in the eaaarrrrrly days, she sounded so different from now, much less witty, more like a goood niiiiiice giiiiirl... Well I'm glad she turned out to be a powerful one!
(not sure you get me here, I mean she seemed more 'quiet' while she is a real vulcano of ideas...)
(still hoping Jay doesn't get offended at what I'm trying to say...)

I like it when people get me wrong, I feel mysterious... ;) When I was like 3 years old everybody thought I was a boy cos I had short short hair.
Oh now when I was back from Hungary a guy at Uni told me I am more feminine than when I left... :goof: I don't dare imagine how I was before then, as I certainly haven't changed any of my habits in dressing and such...

[subterranean]

Oh I know from the beginning that you're a gal Koa :D...

And yeh...Jay is much naughtier now :D :D

[Koa]

Yeah cool, 'naughty' is maybe the concept I was looking for. It's more fun! :D

[Jay]

Uhoh
Naughty? Me? Vulcano? :D Goooood niiiice giiiirl?
*is regrouping*

One would have never guessed how much people around him/her change over the years :lol:

[Stanislaw]

heh, Common Jay ye watch stargate, and the whole : PUCNH FIGHT BELCH DRINK etc. tsk tsk :D

[subterranean]

Watching Stargate is considered naughty???

[Stanislaw]

:brow: maybe... :D

[subterranean]

Oh I know that stargate thingy is a hidden tool to detroy human civilization...

[Stanislaw]

yep, one naquata laden bomb, hurled through the gate would take out the entire planet...

... and according to the show, many have tried.


:D

[lhaeber]

Stargate, I think that is filmed a few blocks down the road from me.

[Stanislaw]

do ye live in Canada?

[lhaeber]

yup, british columbia, the land of film, coffee, commercial drive and 2010 olympics

[Stanislaw]

cool, ye are very lucky!

[lhaeber]

They also filmed X-files here, used to follow the writers around once I identified who they were and that paid off, learned sooo much;
1. drink as much coffee as possible, americano, to stimulate brainwave activity
2. scratch whereever and whenever, in front of whoever, to stimulate blood circulation
3. stare, void of reasoning, into the sky to initiate thought processes related to who/what is out there
4. raise one eyebrow and purse lips when listening to admiring fans talk about how well you write so as to appear as a benevolent contributor to the arts and not a flat, listless, narrowminded studio resource

[Stanislaw]

hmmm, how to be a T.V. writer for dummies...has a ring to it! :D

[Scheherazade]

1. drink as much coffee as possible, americano, to stimulate brainwave activity check (well, it is tea for me)

2. scratch whereever and whenever, in front of whoever, to stimulate blood circulation check

3. stare, void of reasoning, into the sky to initiate thought processes related to who/what is out therecheck

4. raise one eyebrow and purse lips when listening to admiring fans check (well, students mostly... and not admiring really but that is besides the point)

I knew I had it in me! :goof:

[Stanislaw]

hmmm, wheres the bit about wearing really odd cloathing, like berets and dresshirts open over undershirts???

don't alot of bigshot T.V. writers dress like that??? :D

[Bongitybongbong]

lmao! hahahaha, ohwell, sad what amuses you after hours of playing yahoo chess. :D
That's what I've been doing for the last however long I was gone.

[mono]

lmao! hahahaha, ohwell, sad what amuses you after hours of playing yahoo chess.
That's what I've been doing for the last however long I was gone.
How happy I feel, being not the only one! I play Yahoo! Chess too often. :p

[Stanislaw]

maybe we should start a yahoo chess anonymous club, :D

[Bongitybongbong]

That would be cool like me.

[Stanislaw]

hmm, and then we could play yahoo chess, I think this has possibilities.

[Scheherazade]

Hmmm.. this explains Pizza's absence I guess...

[Jay]

Becoming an anonymous-chess-players member? :p

Glad you like the avatar... but I am still wondering at the amount of sarcasm in the above 'thankx Sher' ;)

Have a safe and interesting journey back home.

[Jack_Aubrey]

I am a male.

[Scheherazade]

Was it hurt..???
Not as much as above joke... ;)

[Miss Darcy]

Interesting thread...interesting idea...interesting...*yawns* Pardon me. But that is not meant to be in any way detrimental to my sarcasm-less "interesting"'s....*sigh* There I go again. Now you'll never believe me I'm not being sarcastic. This is definitely not sarcasm. This is...

I give up. Maybe it is a leedle bit sarcastic...but not much.

Away from the topic of "interesting" - and I assure you this certainly isn't - and certainly not away from sarcasm...I bet absolutely nobody can guess what gender I am.

[baddad]

......hermaphrodite...?

[Miss Darcy]

Oh yes definitely. :rolleyes:

[Helga]

Well, as far as I see the males here aren't as many as I imagined.

[Scheherazade]

I hear ya, sister! ;)

[Jay]

I also thought there'd be more guys than some 36%

[Snukes]

I'm curious what Helga considers a manly man? ;)

I worked for a writing center for a long time where this was a VEEERY important question (for similar sorts of reasons, I believe)...

[baddad]

*can't wait to hear opinions on what a 'manly man' is*

[Helga]

A manly man, humm, well since the brain gender test said that I have a very 'manly' brain I would say me. Naw thats not good, I wear purple boots with flowers on'em so that's not right.... I don't know, any ideas?!

[Koa]

purple boots??? COOL!!! where did you find them??? I'm not a lover of flowers but if they're small they can be ok... *dreaming of purple boots*

oh and a manly man... nowadays they're probably rare beasts... a manly man, one who is not scared of girls who have a personality, for example. But it was Helga who was asked, not me, so I'll shut up.

[kilted exile]

According to that brain gender test thingamyjig, I have "the brain of a manly man". So if a manly man is someone who is a cold-hearted, dissafectionate a-hole then I suppose its me :confused:

[Scheherazade]

You said thingamyjig!!! So you don't qualify! :D

[Jay]

Sorry, kilted_exile, seems like you failed this exam :D

[Helga]

I don't know what a manly man is, and I don't really need one, just someone who cares.

[kilted exile]

You said thingamyjig!!! So you don't qualify! :D

Yes, I used the word thingamyjig. I quite commonly use words like that due to my limited vocabulary (well not words like thingamyjig, the usual words wouldn't get past the filter
On a slightly serious note (well as serious as I get anyway :lol: ) if my friends knew I posted on a literature forum, I'd never hear the end of it. I am currently taking enough jokes about taking a course in Understanding Art. I'm just glad they dont know about my dancing lessons as a child.
The majority of this weekend was spent in the mosh pit, beating the daylights out of people. Leg currently has a welt the size of a watermelon. Which adds to the image my physical appearance portrays.
Thats the funny thing, about appearances, I look like I am a hellraiser (6'2", 230lbs) but once peple get to know me they realise that it's pretty much all an act. I am in fact a huge teddybear.
I suppose however my hothead top, and the fact that I showed up for my first day at college with my hand in a cast, didnt help matters any.

*Ok this is less gibberish now, but still pretty much nonsense.*

[Scheherazade]

hehehe I cleaned up my language by saying thingamyjig, most things I want to type would get blocked by the filter.

Just quoting so Kilted Exile doesnt edit his post! :D

[kilted exile]

Already edited. However, now people can compare the difference between my drunken nonsense & my normal garbage.

[Koa]

That also fits in my idea of manly man, assuming that such idea has any right to exist... Hm this guy is getting interesting...;) :D

[papayahed]

to me a manly man would be the woodsy outdoors kinda guy - Paul Bunyan, The Marlboro Man, et al. (did I use that properly?)

[baddad]

...To me.....a manly-man is not afraid to wear only his 'thing'..........pardon me, I mean his THONG, when he is cutting down trees with a chainsaw, or working on his car..........

[Snukes]

*keels over laughing*

[GruesomeBugman]

well I don't really have an opinion on a "manly-man" so I'll just state my gender XD

I'm female, which seems to shock a lot of people, even in real life if I'm wearing a thick jacket or something. I must not be very feminine.

[Koa]

well it's the BugMAN that confuses maybe... :)

[GruesomeBugman]

maybe online, but that's no excuse for real life =)

my girlfriend stuck "GruesomeBugman" on me for an online name XD now I just use it, better than remembering two ^^

[Brittney]

I am female.

[Stanislaw]

wow, looks like the Canadians are dominating this forum, lol

[Bongitybongbong]

wow, looks like the Canadians are dominating this forum, lol
right now the discussion is on gender not nationality, but either way you're right

[Jay]

Maybe there's a new gender, male, female and Canadian :lol:
(not sure how's this percieved, just being silly, no offense intended)

[Bongitybongbong]

That's amusing stuff.

Thank you :p

I'm proud to be canadian! You guys should come visit.

[Jay]

It is on my to-do list :)

[Bongitybongbong]

I'm proud to be canadian! You guys should come visit.
I'm gonna sometime.

[papayahed]

I'm proud to be canadian! You guys should come visit.

Been there, nice place, nice people. Miss their beer. hmmm.....I think I have become obesssed with Canadian beer. I'm gonna go count the threads in which I mention it. Oh wait better not. Is it better to know the depth of your madness or to be blissfully unaware?

[Jay]

Blissfully aware of your madness option missing :p

[SleepyWitch]

a)i'm a female.
b)i didn't think jay was a bloke.
c) the character in my avatar is a guy, but he's got a blue crescent on his forehead like the priestesses in "the mists of avalon", so that's why i picked him. the only other avatar of a person with a crescent on her forehead i could find looks rather scary, don't you think??? (--> attachment)
d) did anyone think i was a bloke?
e) i'm not a witch

Wow another person that loves Canadian beer...that's all I here from some people I know.

[wanderlust_ox]

Canadian Beer is the best. I'm a molson girl.. I also like Guinness but thats not canadian.

[Bongitybongbong]

Irish beer...one of the most famous beers in the land!

[wanderlust_ox]

oh yes.. i love it.

[Bongitybongbong]

who doesn't

[Stanislaw]

Canadian Beer is the best. I'm a molson girl.. I also like Guinness but thats not canadian.

molson is pretty good, but me favourite is the edmonton loically brewed ally cat beer. Damn fine beer!

[kilted exile]

MOLSON! you have got to be kidding me, molson is the most horrible pigs swill I have ever tasted. Do yourself a favour: go buy Moosehead; Kieths; Steamwhistle or Rickard's.

[Bongitybongbong]

Now we're getting angry over the taste of beer...my work is done. :brow:

[papayahed]

MOLSON! you have got to be kidding me, molson is the most horrible pigs swill I have ever tasted. Do yourself a favour: go buy Moosehead; Kieths; Steamwhistle or Rickard's.

Molson is ok. It's a good day in KC when I can find Molson or Labatt.

[kilted exile]

Now we're getting angry over the taste of beer...my work is done. :brow:
Angry? I am completely calm, just recommending a far better brand of beer :D

[ihrocks]

Angry? I am completely calm, just recommending a far better brand of beer :D

And people say I go off-topic. :D

Newcastle Brown Ale is my every day beer. The real Stella Artois is a treat when I can find it.

And I'm still female.

[Koa]

...still? ;) we're here waiting for a change! ;)

[Bongitybongbong]

Angry? I am completely calm, just recommending a far better brand of beer :D
Oh...well vodka's gonna be my weakness.

[Stanislaw]

hmm, try Kalishnikov Vodak, brought to you by the same person who made the AK-47

or...try Spiritus (sp.) Vodka, fom Poland!

[ihrocks]

Oh...well vodka's gonna be my weakness.

Gonna be...when you are 21 and old enough to pick your poison responsibly, right?

[Bongitybongbong]

I'll pick my poison when the time comes.

[Jack_Aubrey]

How do you guys talk about booze in the gender poll?

And just to add to this, Stella Artois is the best beer I've ever tasted.

[wanderlust_ox]

I'm not really sure how it got started. At least I don't remember.

[Jack_Aubrey]

I think it should either stop, or go to the Live Chat area.

[papayahed]

How do you guys talk about booze in the gender poll?

And just to add to this, Stella Artois is the best beer I've ever tasted.

sheesh, where else would we talk about booze??? Staying on topic is not one of the attributes of this group.

[Snukes]

Ooh. I smell the Stella Artois brewery as I sit here posting this message. It's smelly. Nothing like eau de hops in the morning!

I had no idea Stella was so famous...

[Nightshade]

I dont drink but I must say the Stella adverts are the greatest!
:lol:

[Fango]

Never realized this forum is more female-oriented... but now flipping through the avatars and scrutinizing the names...I should've known!

[Beaumains]

I prefer Irish stout to any other form of alcohol, but vodka isn't bad...moving on to the topic of this thread, I'm a male.

[Bongitybongbong]

Never realized this forum is more female-oriented... but now flipping through the avatars and scrutinizing the names...I should've known!
Yeah it doesn't really matter anyway. I would also like to say welcome because I haven't been on as of late.

[Jay]

Never realized this forum is more female-oriented... but now flipping through the avatars and scrutinizing the names...I should've known!
Wonder how did you come up with that explanation...

[papayahed]

And just to add to this, Stella Artois is the best beer I've ever tasted.


It was pretty good, but to be fair that was after a couple of Brooklyn lagers.

[imthefoolonthehill]

Irish coffee.

combines the best of both worlds.

you can't argue with that.

[booksINC.]

Species:homo Sapien
Gender:female

[Scatterbrain]

Female, and proud of it :D

[Satine]

I'm a girl. woman. chica. female. human. crazy.

[Nocturnal]

And maybe for the first time, I am part of the majority!!
As I am a girl. Oddly enough, online most people first take me as a guy...oh the wonders of the internet

[Dailen]

I get the same thing, over and over, people say,
after reading the things I tap out,they thought I was male....
Even the intro I put on this site.
It's Ok...I write men well...so it helps.
I met my husband on a dating web site,
he thought I was pulling his leg when I agreed
to meet him for the first date at a bowling ally.
We met, all went well, and on our wedding day,
he was scheduled to play in a baseball tourny...
I told him that was cool, we'll just clean up after,
then get hitched...should have seen the look on his
face...Priceless.

It's good to be "One of the Guys"

[Darlin]

Female, though I suppose from my name everyone already assumed as much.

[Anon22]

Not from your avi... that's usually the first thing I look at. Anyhow male.

[Riddick]

male. lotsa females here though. :thumbs_up :ladysman:

[samercury]

(Why don't I ever notice some threads :smaks herself on the head: )
I voted on this long ago but I never answered.
I'm a girl (I learn something new every day....) :D

[Nightshade]

what you just found out you were a girl :eek:

[samercury]

When you live on Mercury, there are some things that you don't know until 16 years later you know :rolleyes: :lol:

[Jay]

Such as? That that pointy thing between your eyes is a nose? :D

[samercury]

That's what a nose is? :eek2:....you learn something new everyday :D

...mercury's year equals 16 of ours? ......or do I have that backwards??? ****.....I'm having a hell of a day..............................

[~Maude~]

I'm a girly girl, through and through.

[Amfortas]

Manly man here....

Shouldn't there be more than 2 choices ?

[cruciverbalist]

I'm female...looks like I'm in the majority group here.

[jtoland]

Female here. :)

[Sandrine]

Female here, too! :)

[jakobin]

Male here. (we believe us to be a male dont we smeagol...NO GOllum!! We shall not give in to your evil thoughts, taking us back to the pits, and the ashes, and the orcses...AAAAAH!!!)

[Nightshade]

here is an odd thing every single person who has voted with an O as the start of there name is male strange, any girls Ive missed whose Username starts with an O?

[EMB]

Apparently a lot of members wish to remain anonymous, even down to gender. I think it's interesting to find out, if not essential.

I didn't realize that I hadn't voted on this poll. I'm female. It looks like we almost outnumber you boys 2 to 1!

[baddad]

na...na...na...na...na...


girls two to one? We are not afraid..........

[Nightshade]

well you should be VERY afraid

:D ;)

[RobinHood3000]

Male.

Interesting odds on these forums.

[Weeping Willow]

Male here too....
But i must say i suck in guessing who is what.. it's just hard...

[Virgil]

Male. Males are now catching up in the poll. College majors in lit when I was in school had more women than men, probably even higher ratio than we're showing. This should be an incentive for you men out there to take more lit classes.

[nodia 4]

i think this is one of the best forums in this site

GIRLS RULE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Nightshade]

Hehe I almost called nodia Kaltrina Im going to have to start reading user names as well as just looking at avy's
:D

[kilted exile]

girls two to one? We are not afraid..........

Yep, I dont think fear is the first emotion that would come to most guys from that ratio.

[IrishCanadian]

hahaha not at all.
Males usually seem to be the minority with my interests.
there must be a lot of testosterone in trade colleges.

[baddad]

i think this is one of the best forums in this site

GIRLS RULE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

....oh yeah!! Girls rule!!! Couldn't have said it better myself! But both declarations stem from completely different perpectives........I love that...........

........girls................mmmmm................ ........

[miss tenderness]

i guess my gender is nt a secret is it?

[RobinHood3000]

Suppose not. Welcome to the Forums, miss tenderness!

[Kyuyi]

:lol: Does this proves that females like to read litearature more than males?
Heh heh heh. Merry Christmas everyone!

[Pensive]

If females would have liked Literature so much then why the number of the posts in the General Chat will be larger than General Literature thread.

Hehe, It shows that females are more interested in Gossip than males. (Gossip also includes Literature Gossip)

[Wirhe]

Someone must have forged the results, for there are more females than males; the ratio should be reversed :p

[RobinHood3000]

Nooooo!!! Nevah!!!

[topher-30]

[Virgil]

I haven't been here in a while. I see the men are catching up. It use to be 2 to 1 women, but now it's about 60/40.

[WhimsySA]

If you were to take a guess what do you think I am male or female????

[Virgil]

Female. I'm pretty sure. Let me know if I'm correct.

[RJbibliophil]

I agree with Virgil. :D
I was browsing through the first few pages of this thread and discovered numerous confessions of members who though Jay was a male. I thought so too the first time I saw Jay, but I quickly changed my opinion. It's your name and camper thing that fools everyone Jay. :lol:

[bonnett]

Male. Think so anyway.

If I'm wrong that's some hernia

[Loveless]

I going with bonnett on this one.

[NEDJ293]

[Pendragon]

The Pendragon, Mad Poet, and Auld Arrow, Ghost of the Dasterdly, is 100% male. Most of you figured that out on your own. ;)

What a shock! ;) Now if you had said you were male, I think it would have turned lit net on its head! :D

[TheFemme]

What a shock! ;) Now if you had said you were male, I think it would have turned lit net on its head! :D

I can see how that would raise a few questions. :p

[BookWorm_x3]

[Virgil]

my goodness 139:85

Not quite. 85 x2 = 170.

It was double at one time. I think the boys are catching up. :)

[ShoutGrace]

Not quite. 85 x2 = 170.

It was double at one time. I think the boys are catching up. :)

Sadly, sadly. :D

[soulsistachick]

I am a female and my avi is of Ian Sommerhalder *Dies Of Love*

[Virgil]

I am a female

I would never have guessed. :D :p

[Idril]

Then why is your avatar of a little boy? :D :p

That looks like anime and you can never tell with anime, everyone looks androgynous. ;)

[RobinHood3000]

Looks like Sora -- cool!

[orra]

[Loveless]

Oh my gosh! I haven't been here since like forever....Oh wow Robinhood 3000 you changed your avatar...!!! Ack just saying hello....

[Evi]

Just checked once more my negative thoughts that men dont read so much or they are not interested in literature so much. For me this is a sad thing.

Yeah, but we wrote most of it.





Disclaimer: do not take me seriously.

[fruity]

Reading true the post I had decided I prefered not to state my gender but then realised I have already given clue's before ending up in this porthole. Damn another action reaction movement I regret awww well I shall try to do damage controle :D

[Nightshade]

is it just me or is the gap growing agian?

[RobinHood3000]

I sure hope so! :D

[Misscaroline]

Do I even have to say it, Robin? Keep it in your pants.

[RobinHood3000]

Don't you mean, "keep it in your quiver"? :p

[Shadowsarin]

Well, last time I checked I was male, though having a damn Nerve Gas as a forum name does kinda give that away in my opinion...

[miss tenderness]

:D:D:DShadow!

[Nightshade]

sooo confused


:confused:
*sigh*

[Poetess]

XY ==> Female!

[JaneEyre1986]

I'm a female!

[Virgil]

I'm a female!

Like we couldn't guess. :lol: :lol: And let me guess, you were born in 1986?

Welcome to lit net by the way, Jane. Nice to have you with us. :)

[JaneEyre1986]

Yeah, that was kind of redundant, wasn't it? LOL.

[GimmyDiamond]

anyone think I was a dude??? given the whole gimmy(jimmy) thing??? :D

Oh, and reading through this thread, you guys are sooo funny . . . Robin Hood WAYYYY too much hee hee, and Jay, hmmm I wonder who this good girl was that you once were, gotta luv all u guys :D

[EarlofRochester]

I am of the female species, still can't decide if it's the stronger sex

[*Classic*Charm*]

Female!!!

Guess my name gives that away, what with the whole bit about charm...though it is my horse's name, and he's male...hmmmm....:rolleyes:

Ah well. I think Robbin's the only one who's got it right here- the (fewer) men should clearly be glad to be the minority, and ladies, shouldn't we be wanting to have more of our XY friends around?

Not that it's about that. It's about...books. Yes, that's the one...:idea:

[EarlofRochester]

*Classic*Charm*, couldn't help noticing that you like horses AND obviously have a thing for the Hannibal Lecter films (if your avatar reflects that), two things i like as well!

[Miss_Hanan]

I'm a lovely female

[Virgil]

I'm a lovely female

Well, with a name like Miss Hanan you better be a female. ;) If you weren't I would start worrying about you. :)

[Miss_Hanan]

Well, with a name like Miss Hanan you better be a female. ;) If you weren't I would start worrying about you. :)



:lol: :lol: :lol: no need for your worries

I'm a female, though I doubt there were any wonderings about that. :)

Check, and Check! My mom got me interested in reading by giving me books about horses, and I got sucked in! And yes, I do love the Hannibal Lecter films and the novels. You should see the looks I get when I tell people that they're actually good pieces of writing. The new film was released on Feb 9th(in Canada at least); I can't wait to go see it!
