I've found that I sometimes don't know whether a poster is female or male, so don't you think it would be a good idea to have the little male or female symbol (http://www.solihull.gov.uk/youngpeople/careleavers/images/gender.jpg) under a persons avatar with post count etc?

Interesting idea...could this work if each member had a choice as to whether this was shown in their personal options?

I voted No. I prefer to speak to people for their personality.

Also sometimes the fun is in NOT knowing if they are male or female and being surprised if you get it wrong.

Give it a rest. I've just noticed a couple of people on the "What turns you off about men" thread that are women.. But I always thought were men. Nothing to do with me trying anything on, so save your ******** comments for a not so light-hearted thread.

And my reply to Yodameister goes to you as well :rant:

Voted yes --- but it does not really matter. Everyone posts on eceryone's threads anyhow, and I've already stated a few times that I am a bloke (did not stop me posting on the female threads though) ;)

I don't know how you think that what I said deserved that kind of abuse.

It wasn't abuse. I was merely stating that this thread is a light hearted one, so arsey comments aren't welcome. Yours was an arsey comment, so I pointed out that it wasn't welcome, end of.

Calm down Gary!

Yoda's (and mine) comments were only meant in a light hearted way.

(Soothes angry frown lines off GazB's firehead and adminsters lavender compress) :rolleyes:

I think there should.

Anyway, Gaz, you seem to think that I'm saying there's something wrong with chatting people up.

I just couldn't see any other reason why I'd be particularly bothered about knowing someone's gender.
And if it was relevant to their post, then I'd obviously be able to tell which they were.

Maybe they can add their sexual preferences and vital statistics too?

Why not throw in other options, such as "Easy?", "Give head?" and "Bunny Boiler?". Then we'd be getting somewhere, right?

And for the record Yodameister, I don't know if you're male or female.

How about a full medical record as well - physical and psychological.

As an added bit we could have a police type profiling of members.

Anything else?

Well just vote no and shut up then. I don't know how you're feeling Gaz but I'm sick of people looking for slagging matches. Gaz only asked a simple question that required a simple answer and possibly even a reason to go with it. So why are you trying to make suggestions and make out that he's a pervert?????

My point exactly.

How about an option to put M/F in you profile page, then if anyone is really that interested they can have a look, and if you don't want to know then don't look.

We'd need to know about food tolerances and also which side of the bed they prefer.

OK peeps I think this is getting a bit naaaaaaaaaaaaaaasty!

The only reason I said yes is because I am always reading posts and when the name is not obvious I am always wondering whether its a m or f!

Plus as most of the forum is based on peoples views etc it is sometimes nice to know whether its coming from a m or f mind!

Careful Clare, you may be at risk of wanting to know who you can hit on or not.

As I said before, we all have the option to edit our profiles...so why not make this just another optional bit of information rather than reacting as though it's an attempt to scam your credit card details or slip GHB into your drink?:rolleyes:

Gaz, stop being so stroppy and ruining the lovely mental image I have of you - thanks to your gorgeously cute aviator!

I voted yes, because it would be nice to know whether opinions on certain threads are coming from male or female minds. It's also easy to get confused and build up a picture of someone in your head that turns out to be totally wrong - for example, I though Deavon was a girl for ages. And I thought Shiesh was a boy!

It could be optional, the same as stating your location is!

But then people thought I was a lady until I introduced the bearded avatar...:huh:

I've always been 100% woman :D

LOL!!!:hihi: :hihi: :hihi:

As I've mentioned before, I've never come across a woman called "Carmine", but folks on here still seem to think: "I'm a lady" (in the style of Emily Howard).

The avatar is an uncanny likeness for the real thing!

I presume GazB and Dragon are fellas as well?:suspect:

I'd better be otherwise I am more deformed than I thought.

Do me a favour and don't make this another thread about my deformities. Moonmaiden is getting a kick out of weilding that one over my head.

Gaz Tuesday, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.

Betty Mondays, Wednesdays and Sundays.

I know you now Gazb - seen you in the caf wearing that silly head scarf and with that fag end dangling from your gob. Too much lipstick mate.

Nice cuppa though. Only place you can get that special flavouring.

I know him too looks LIKE THIS (http://www.suck.com/daily/2000/04/18/c.gif) :gag: :gag:

I think that's a great idea, lots of people think I'm male and I'm NOT. Eughhh....male...no thanks. :D

I don't see a need for people to know what gender posters are. Shouldn't there be an option in the poll for putting posters' full name, address and phone number while we are at it? ;)

PS: There have been a few posters whose gender I have wondered about. For quite a while, I thought Internetowl was a female!

I voted no.

Just because the post where someone ( male) thought Deavon was a girl and chatted them up via PM made me laugh so much. I know it's not nice to laugh at someone elses misfortune but it was funny.

I like guessing whom is male/female. I thought Dragon was male at first then thought they were female then gone back to thinking they are male.

Just thought I would divulge that i am.... in fact.....









......A MAN! dederrrrrr:D

I do think that not knowing does add to the spice a bit.
I should have been Wonder Woman, that would have confused people!
Ooooh... I just got a bit excited at the thought of being Wonder Woman....that's scary! :heyhey:

I agree it should be optional on the profile. :thumbsup:

Maybe someone should do a poll to find out how many cross-dressers there are on SF?

Are you a woman who fancies men trapped in a mans body, or a lesbian trapped in a mans body? Hmmm?

There ya are - a little bit more information to add to the growing list.

Next.

You got any of them funny pics concerning a fire dragon?

I voted "yes"! :thumbsup:

I like to know who I'm flirting with! ;)

I prefer not to know, it adds to the fun, and anyway, unlike some, I dont hit on the females for obvious reasons, ;) .. and its nice to see them and say "I thought u were a woman" and visa versa


Personality counts more

I think that this idea is the better option, personally. (and that it be optional, rather than mandatory, for safety reasons)

I am a bit concerned that some women on the net would not want to be identified as specifically being female, for reasons of self protection...

The idea of being hit-on concerned me, too, I don't come on here to "pick-up" or "be picked-up"; I come on here to natter with my friends, and have the occasional "Heated Debate" (TM) with certain factions. (which can be as interestiing)

PT

I'm only an occasional poster, people don't know me so I assume they don't care if I'm M/F/both. Having said that I think anonymity can make a post misunderstood :confused: oh well, I know what I mean. I don't think its important, but don't object either. What does annoy me is because I don't personally know people I'm unsure of some of the replies...witty/sarcastic/in jokes between friends, things of that ilk, but thats my problem not theirs.

:)
