Following the discussion in the Superman or Batman??? thread, I wonder what the gender distribution in the forum is...
Even of the regular contributers, I haven't managed to work out who is male and who is female!
Ask and you shall receive an answer... :p
Maybe this poll would help remove some of the mystery at least :)
Scheherazade, I had you down correct, but Jay - I thought you were male! :eek2:
Join the club, Yorkie :D
Why did you think so? Was it the name?
My avatar is a great give-away, I guess :D
I thought you were male, Yorkie! :eek:
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
Never intended to! :DQuote:

Something about 'breaking wind' was it? comes to mind... talk about hijacking your thread :angel:
And I don't intend to inquire about the connection there either! :D
SMART move ;) :lol:
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
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.......
Because the society was made of by the said men and women...
heh, there were a couple of names that I had guessed wrong, yorkie and psyche, I thought they was male. :cool:
Seems like the Forum is more or less balanced :)
all 15 members anyways ;)
sample regular poster group ;)
figures i would be the one to put absolute balance into the poll....i am a libra, donchano?
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...............Quote:

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

Btw, Ihaeber, I thought you were a guy :D
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
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.
* 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....
*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
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.
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
??? - so confused, the springs in my head are going boing!
I went to see a doctor some time ago and all this time I thought I was a female..
Kilte exile is male??
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.
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
lol, now that be back to the balance issue, :DQuote:

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.
