[Locked] What the heck are you? x_x

I'll be more worried about men who are pretending to be women by simply selecting "female".

If you want to know a particular user's sex, you could just ask via PM or investigate a little by looking at their past post - post in the "Post your Pics" thread or in the Love and Romance section should hint at what their sex is.

Can I date you lil missy?

Not really? . . . so many people have avatars that are pictures of random girls and it makes it hard to interpret the intent of their posts. This kinda pissed me off -__- Honestly why is it almost any girl on the internet is pegged as an attention whore? It's not for recognition it just makes things easier in my opinion. UGH! If you're narrow minded enough to judge a person on this in the first place I guess it is better to remain anon?

Okay hello. You must be new to the internet. Here's a sliver of knowledge for you: People have avatars of whatever they want, and an avatar is generally not to be taken as a remotely good representation of the person.
As for why any girl on the internet bring pegged as an attention whore? Untrue. It's the act of going around broadcasting "I'M A GIRL, I'M A GIRL" that is categorized as being an attention whore.

There is no need for gender specification. What do you hope to achieve, anyway? By knowing via their profile if someone is male or female, you intend to treat them differently? This is assuming they set it truthfully to begin with.

Hi, I'm Mike. I'M A GIRL! I'M A GIRL!

My name gave it away, didn't it?

Wait... 13?



Btw, no. It will just make me sad to know how many men in here.

why does a users gender matter?

All the men in here and all the ladies you aren't getting out there.

This.

I don't really understand why you're so angry haha of course you can have whatever avi you want and I'm not saying that it's an accurate representation of a person . . . My point is simply that many forums add the option and it's out of curiosity and not wanting to as you put it "broadcast" by having to contact every post that I find intriguing and inquire their gender.I feel it's more subtle to at least have the option to put it instead of having to awkwardly message someone? I'm sorry if you disliked my opinion but I am entitled to one and don't appreciate you jumping down my throat for it. No I'm not new to the internet but being flamed over a harmless suggestion is pretty new to me. Thanks for making me think twice about speaking up . . .

Curiosity really killed the cat -__- thanks guys you can cease flaming me now I think we've both made our respective points!

So, basically, I'll just stick to guessing.. I wouldn't check it out on somebodies profile unless they were like in my state... which in this day and age, i highly doubt. Small island off the coast of australia! hell to the yeah.

Also, I'm actually 18 I'm a guy, and i like bread sticks. :D

Would it of been better had you thought LQ to be a man?

Probably yes

If you think that's angry, you need to get out more.


You find an intriguing post and the first thing you think about is gender? Haha. Okay.


More like you gave the reasons for your opinion (albeit shallow), and I gave you my reasons for disliking them. I did not jump down anyone's throat... well, hadn't, anyway.


Nobody flamed you, kiddo.


You're welcome.



Is this an argument for the topic's suggestion? Because it's a pretty bad one.

i don't think it would have made a difference, i didn't invite her to start a relationship, I invited her to talk.

In the beginning I'm pretty sure he did or at least fake.

No.

I don't think the OP has a bad idea though. It is human nature to be curious about someone's sex or gender. It isn't always that you are going act differently to another person depending on their gender or sex, but you do get more context of perhaps what they are thinking or who they are in real life. Things like sex, age, and race don't define a person, but they do give clues to other people about the type of person you are.

I understand one of the benefits of anonymity on the internet is that you don't have to worry about being treated by some people based on your sex. However, there are people who don't care about being anonymous, and would like to share who they are with people - that isn't attention whoring.

You are always going to be treated differently depending on your sex and the internet doesn't protect you from this. For girls, people simply assume you are a man and then you are treated like a man. If someone rather not be categorized as a male by default, they'll literally have to make an effort to reverse that. This shouldn't be confused with attention whoring.

Mod Note: I would like to remind all users to remain on topic and not let your respective emotions get the better of you too.

Thank you for your kind understanding and cooperation.

Aww. Way to kill the pointless arguments, Gambler.

yeah it was obvious if you proposed your idea to Jacob he wouldn't take it very seriously...consider the nature of the site as well.
