MoFos - Identify Your Gender!
 
This idea goes back to other sites. It's more than just a "getting to know you" idea...

Have you ever been surprised that a person you've been communicating with is not the gender you thought they were (or that their avatar projects)?

Do you communicate with males / females (or "other") differently? Would you perhaps be a little less harsh, less profane or more polite if you knew the gender of the person you're addressing (or disagreeing with) from the start?
You'd be surprised at some of the answers.

What's your gender? Care to share?

I try a little more to avoid being tasteless in threads frequented by the likes of Christine, Gbgoodies, and Silent Vamp.

I'm a guy btw.

So surprising that SC didn't start this thread.

Yep a few different times. Though HK was female at first.

Suppose i do a bit but not noticeably really. I joke with females differently, think that's the main difference.

What's your gender?
Male.

I was answering that second question as in real life. Don't think i do online.

Holy crap! I thought Camo was female!

I think the biggest surprises will involve guys who have pictures of women as avatars.

Male here.
But I'm very in touch with my X chromosome. (Which means I'm sensitive and can enjoy just talking with women.)

One way I'm distinctly male is that I'm rarely cold. (Is it just me or do women always say they're cold for some reason? Is this like code or something? Do they mean they want to be held? Or are they part reptilian?)

I get thrown off easily by people's avatars - is it someone they gender-identify with, someone they're attracted to, or just someone they admire?

Re: MoFos - Identify Your Gender!
 
I've misgendered people on MoFo and elsewhere on the net quite a few times. It's easy to do when you can't see or hear the person and all you have to go on is a username and a few contextual clues.

That said, what really amazes me is how many times I've been misgendered by other people here. I'm not a ****ing drag queen, people. I am a bitch named Victoria and I use a man as my avatar because I would like to **** the man in my avatar.

As to whether I talk to people on here differently depending on their gender, I don't think so. I'd say it depends much more on what I think of you and how much we've interacted.

And how old are you, Topsy? (I realize that's an inappropriate question to ask now that I know you are female - thus the topic becoming self-referencing to the original post!) ;)

I'm 51.

And how many years have you been "29"?

(Sorry, bad joke... couldn't resist.)

P.S. Is that joke sexist humor?

Re: MoFos - Identify Your Gender!

So do you do the same with Miss Vicky, Cricket? :p

Of course he does. I've got delicate sensibilities. Haven't you noticed?

Miss Vicky - how do you feel about Joaquin's hare lip?
Turn on? Turn off? Just don't care?

I like scars and imperfections.
