Gender Poll

[RobinHood3000]

I'm a lovely femaleLovely? Care to prove that? :p Not that I deny its truth, but it strikes me as unsporting to say so and not support it. Then again, I can hardly say I'm not guilty of the same...

[botkin]

I'm male.

Or so I have been told by people who have seen me naked.

[ranzy]

Though my avatar may deceive you, I am a male.

[Virgil]

You mean you're a lovely female too. :goof: :D

That's what I get for posting sans awareness. I mean to say (I suspect you're aware of this, Virgil!! :mad:) that I am guilty of proclaiming myself to be quite handsome :cool: without offering proof.

[hyperborean]

So this is a female dominated forum...interesting. This is a nice change from the male dominated forums I'm registered at. (I'm a guy by the way)

[Adudaewen]

And where are all of those, hyper??

j/k, but all of the forums I'm on are totally female dominated!

I am gald I am a female since well that has majority here.

[Dorian Gray]

I'm a female. :D

[Alexei]

I'm a female. :D

Wow! I thought you are male. May be because of the name, though I sometimes use it myself in the forums (I am a female).

I am kind of surprise here the womans are more. When I voted in the poll, I expected that there will be a domination of men, but obviously I was wrong.

[Stieg]

Male.

[pinkmoon]

I am a female too:D

[whatsername]

Hey how come it doesn't say on peoples username if they are a male or female like they do on other forums, this can get quite confusing.

Well I'm a female anyway, you could find out through my username.

[Niamh]

Yes i know what you mean. Someone thought i was a guy on this forum once. still dont know ow seeing as i've got a faerie as an avatar!

[whatsername]

Some guys like Fairies too :)

[GrayFoxDown]

Unless I'm mistaken, I'm a man; and will, in all probability, remain that way.:alien:

FEMALEEE. But that's pretty obvious by my name. :]

[Annamariah]

I'm a female, but I don't think anyone here thought otherwise :D (I mean, it's quite obvious when you take a look at my username, avatar and profile)

[the silent x]

i think this may have already been a thread, if it was delete it, could everybody say what their gender is, if you've you changed genders tell us your current one, yadda, yadda, yadda. the reason i'm doing this is so that i don't offend some guy by starting off a post, "hey girl" or some girl by saying, "hey man"

to start off, i'm a guy

[smartgirl]

well, i'm pretty sure that I'm a girl! lol

[Bakiryu]

I'm a girl, Silent X, you, Pendragon and Kiobe have been calling me a guy for weeks! :) (*laughts*) (I don't mind if you say hey man, i call my mom man every three words)

[the silent x]

wow, the onyl tim ei've ever had gender mixed up in real life is when my boss asked me "stop calling me sir, yer not goin out with my daughter" were his exact words, so i called him ma'am and he laughed, i made sure not to do it in front of customers though

[Bakiryu]

I get confused about people all the times since most of the guys I know seem to want to dress like girls, and the girls look like guys. Is really strange when you see a couple.

People think I'm a guy all the time, in fact my closest friends call me Ed from my FMA fanatism. :)

[Shalot]

I am a girl.

But this thread reminded me of something funny I did in college.

I was taking a Document Design class and the focus of the class was on page layouts and how to present information in an attractive easy-to-read format using Adobe software.

One of the assignments was to create a newsletter from scratch and create a page layout. So, to get ideas, I pulled a couple of newsletters off of the internet in pdf format. I didn't even pay attention to the content of these newsletters. I just printed some off and took them to class and started trying to mimic their designs while trying to learn to use the software.

The instructor would come around to our computers and look over our shoulders and assist when needed. Well, I needed some assistance and I had my little sample newsletter. So the whole time I am talking to the professor about my design and showing him my inspiration piece, which was one of the newsletters from the internet.

When he left and went on to the next student, I happened to notice that the newsletter I had was some kind of Transgender Newsletter....:blush: :lol: :blush: :lol:

I wonder if he noticed because I sure didn't even pay attention --- all I saw were text blocks and fonts and font sizes and heading types and shapes....

And if he did notice, did he wonder if I was a packing a little something extra or if I used to be a he....

:lol: And I don't know whether to be embarrassed or amused, but I am a little of both.

So note to self: Always pay attention to what you print off in class!!!!

Don't tell anybody but I was never very good in english class. Actually now I wish I would have paid way more attention back in school. Seriously, can I ever end a sentence in a preposition?

So, are we balanced, or what?

Sorry to dredge up an old thread, but hey ... what the hey! :)

Kizzo, this ratio of about 2 out of 3 being female has been the ratio for as long as I've been here. Seems that more women are into literature than men. I peruse other web forums, music, sports, politics, and while they don't have a poll to show the statistics, it does seem that more men, and probably by as significant a margin as here, are there.

[kiz_paws]

Hmmm interesting, Virgil. :) Maybe the guys who are loving Literature are so busy reading that they don't want to mingle? Ahhh well .... we are one big happy family here, it matters not the boy-to-girl-ratio.

But you know, in an art site that I go to, there are more guys than girls, it would appear. It would be fun to do a survey just to see the different ways that it goes for the varying interests, you know? :)

I'm a part of some tabletop gaming forums; the ratio there is probably 100:1 (boys to girls), if not more. :D I guess women aren't as interested in tabletop wargames as men are... :p

I think I prefer more women than men on a forum. :brow: Although, at times, I find myself lost as to what I should say. :blush:

Hardly. :p I've been on forums with a boy:girl ratio of probably 100:1. The only thing this polls represents is that women are more likely to participate in silly polls. :lol:

[dramasnot6]

I think women are more comfortable with their love of literature, since stereotypically men are the "science and math" experts and women are the "reading and writing" ones. Of course, as the years pass by these stereotypes diminish, which is always a great thing :D And hopefully something that is reflected on litnet.

I don't really fit into that stereotype (math/science expert). Even though Math is undoubtably my best subject, English is undoubtedly my second.

[Granny5]

Math was my best subject in school....as well as motherhubbards and we're both females. I sucked at science, I will admit and wasn't that great at English either.

Stereotype, as you say. Women are equally good at maths and physics if they care to try ;)

Theres no real competition here. Women will catch up now they're allowed to and be as good at lying politely and killing as guys.

And just to remind you all, I am female :lol:.

You know, Tiny Dancer, Cate Blanchett played Bob Dylan in I'm Not There , so like for all anyone knows that could be the female portrayal of him.... :lol:. So therefore people should not judge by avatars!! :D :lol:

[skasian]

:lol: Well, here are some humorous but a bit obvious "facts" for your own sake, mind you I found some of them a bit rude but I was actually surprised as these were relevant to me:D

Women do NOT want an honest answer to the question, 'How do I look?'

A woman will dress up to go shopping, water the plants, empty the garbage, answer the phone, read a book, or get the mail.

Women are paid less than men, except for one field: Modeling.

Women love to shop. It is the one area of the world where they feel like they're actually in control.

Women love to talk. Silence intimidates them and they feel a need to fill it, even if they have nothing to say.

The average number of items in a typical woman's bathroom is 437. A man would not be able to identify most of these items.

[Virgil]

The average number of items in a typical woman's bathroom is 437. A man would not be able to identify most of these items.

You're right about that one. I have no idea what my wife has in the bathroom. And frankly it's probably best I don't know. ;)

[skasian]

Wow, so that is a real fact:D
Oh yeah my previous post reminded me something. Men outperform women in most spatial tasks and mathematics-calculus, physics,logics. This is most significant in schools where boys do best in mathematics, commerce, physics while girls do best in literature and creative arts.

As Scheherazade suggested, we have people from all the age span here. I myself am a very old chap... aged 34... :lol: Should I stop coming here? :p

How old can you be, Delmar? If the pic in your avy is a pic of your face, you cannot be an ancient, can you? :lol: BTW, welcome!

[Maryd.]

Hi all, the last time I looked, I was a female - oh and in reference to being old, I have been 29 for years and years... Ironically enough I am still 29. Hehehehe

Looks like women are more interested in literature stuffs than men in the internet.

Looks like women are more interested in literature stuffs than men in the internet.

I think in general, really. In pretty much every English department I've eveer seen, the women usually outnumber the men by at least two to one.

Medieval literature seems to be an (unfortunate) exception - its a right old sausage-fest for Medievalists...

Hmmmm..interesting..I'm new here..male or female yous thinks??

I would guess female. ;)

and you would be right dear sir..

Interesting to see that it is a female dominated forum. My gender was easy, as my screen name is my real name- I guess I couldn't come up w/ a unique enough alias to go incognito.

My screen name is my real name also...but people still think I'm a man sometimes (I think its the Greek God reference)...I'm suprised that the site is female dominated as traditionally literature seems to have a rather male focus..especially in terms of Authors..don't you think?

I think your right..although most of the women I know read magazines..

[BienvenuJDC]

I think your right..although most of the women I know read magazines..

Yes, but those men who don't read...are driven by testosterone into the wilderness to drive ATVs and hunt for wild creatures...or to explore vast reaches of the world...

[Paris]

Driving an ATV..not good for the environment..Hunting for wild creatures..awful!..exploring vast reaches of the world..pretty good I think..

[Paulclem]

I think your right..although most of the women I know read magazines..

I think the stats show that there are more women readers than men, and this goes right back to school, with female literacy levels higher than males.

There are certainly more pastel coloured books in the bookshops.:biggrin5:

[BienvenuJDC]

Driving an ATV..not good for the environment..Hunting for wild creatures..awful!..exploring vast reaches of the world..pretty good I think..

Driving ATVs have very little effect on the environment...hunting wild creatures help control wildlife population (ask any wildlife conservationist)...and you can learn many things by experience in addition to reading...

You can't just make such a simplistic comment like 'hunting for wild creatures help control wildlife population'. ATVs contribute around 58% of all annual emissions for recreational vehicles in the US. That's 8% of nitrous oxides and almost 5% of CO2 for total onroad and offroad vehicles, in their entirety.

They're horrendous. As is killing wild animals.

with facts..

[BienvenuJDC]

We will have to disagree...and I will gladly dispute any so-called facts that the scientists EVER give anymore...with all of the corruption that they have shown here lately. Your facts are only as good as the integrity of the scientists, which they have proven that their integrity is questionable at best.

As I said...ATVs have little effect on the environment, and hunting helps control animal populations...therefore, if you disagree, then we will have to disagree.

[Babyguile]

and hunting helps control animal populations...therefore, if you disagree, then we will have to disagree.

The first time you said that you put in brackets 'ask any wildlife conservationist'. Well, I'm an environmental scientist whose studied wildlife conservation and been taught by a few of them and I'm telling you that they are not a cure for species overpopulations or imbalances in predator-prey populations. They are a short term solution, kind of like carbon offsetting.

All published science is peer-reviewed before being published. It's not just one scientist or one teams findings going straight to print.

Wow..I know little about this topic but I find it difficult to believe that hunting can be any but awful..I just think from a spiritual and humanistic perspective that we all deserve to live..(I'm terrified of spiders so I will try to remind myself of this point next time i see one)

Paulclem..''There are certainly more pastel coloured books in the bookshops.''...pastel couloured books should be banned..(except from the children's section perhaps)

Look into what is called the 'deer yards'. I think that over-populated wildlife habitat is awful. To think that there are so many white tail deer starving to their death is despicable. Conservationist and the game commissions have studied these things well. I must ask this one thing...are you a vegetarian?

No..I'm not..a vegetarian and I know being one would b more humane..however..I'm not political about it really..just don't think its nice..but starving animals sounds very sad too..as I said..I really dont know much about it..the arguments are compelling..
