Gender [Done]

[t-o-m]

*tom sighs*

its annoying when people just...ASSUME...that im a guy!
*sighs again*

dont really think theres much need for this.

Why would you want anyone to know you're not a guy? That's the kind of information that's best kept to yourself.

It is plain to see that you are an 11 year old Puerto Rican girl

Well, except for three minor details: I'm 40, American, and male.

bet your bald as well

My bald what?

If this were in use, I have a feeling that there will be a lot of gender confused men on this site that may be marking themselves as "female" just for the fun of it.

I agree with H2SY.

• For whatever reason people will inaccurately represent their gender.
• And of course there'll also be the need for a "not specifed" option.
• People who don't read profiles and don't pick up big clues like "Mom" won't be reading the gender attribute anyway.

Overall I do think that the net result, of implementing this suggestion, would be that we'd be no more sure of a person's actual gender than we are now and the tendency to presume maleness would continue.

i think all the women should have a pic of themselves in their avatar in their bikini's

I agree with this! let's start with Klobber!

I have obscured her eyes to protect her identity.

LOL, had to laugh

Is there anyway we can get genders on our profiles?

Off course, not. It is a blatant discrimination against aliens and self-aware computers that will eventually be joining this site in large numbers

Guys,

While you are demonstrating your pre-pubescent fear of girl cooties with lame-flames, it's not acceptable.

Get this thread back on track, and quick.

And you may want to fix the flames pretty fast or there'll be some wrist slapping coming.

Thank you, Twill. I do appreciate your help.

[Ditocoaf]

I support this idea because It would make it much easier to know who to net-stalk.

Thank you, Twill. I do appreciate your help.

heh. It's nice to see the addition of medals has another added benifit. Your 1 gold medal gives an onlooker a basic idea of how little effort you put into achieving your rank.

You think we're not already here?

Your 1 gold medal....

Thank you for your opinion, private.

Your math is off, though; I have three medals.

How many do you have? I can't seem to find an exact number on your post.

Back to thread (As Twill is having a sense of humour failure ) ...... is this really a serious suggestion?

What most ladies tend to do (subconsciously or not .. i am not sure) is put a picture of a lady; themselves or cartoon in their Avi.

This can be misleading and you need to get the picture right .. I did refer to Amazzony as 'mate' some weeks ago, partly because she was organising a tourney (sorry stereotypes die hard!) and partly because her avatar, though patently of a female, is subtly feminine and quite dark.. (too subtle for this old misogynist!)

And i also thought Zimmah was a girl due to the picture of his girlfriend.. not an idiot-proof system i admit!

but i think the depiction of Gender has to be down to choice and implied rather than stated!

Girls on the internet? Impossible.



j/k...
It wouldn't help to have that info on your profile page, cause people don't ususally look at that page.
What would work the best is if you wore a pic of a girl (maybe you) as your avatar. Then people can figure it out more easily.

Lol...I have recently put up a female avatar so we'll see if that helps at all. You're right though, I have never really looked at other players profiles so it would be kinda pointless.

Why would you want anyone to know you're not a guy? That's the kind of information that's best kept to yourself.

Because the male gender isn't the only one that knows how to play the game and we'd like a little credit too.
