OMG!
I couldn't help laughing when i read this topic.
Solenm, xAl and fran( and even angel when she wore a bunny avy) I got all of them wrong XD

On topic: I guess peoples' posts don't really reveal their genders then... for example, I always thought that leaf was a girl by the way he spoke(typed posted whatever)
Actually, we just decide by our assumptions(based on our experience... i guess) and mostly by the ava, name or sig

It's just so easy to lie about one's gender on the internet...

Why die only once when you can die a little everyday

That's a terrible way to judge gender, and the reason is just as bad.

Calgon, take me away~!

Lol, believe it or not, I've been mistaken for a guy by some members on this site. IDK, it always threw me off, what with my cutesy avatar and username I always thought my gender would have been obvious. Apparently such was not the case. ^_^;;

Of course, then again some members and I *ahem* disagree on some things, at which point they purposely refer to me using masculine terms as a way of insulting me. :\

Quote by pandemonium91I fell in love with Alan Rickman after seeing Dogma and he's the perfect choice for Snape, I couldn't imagine someone else. It's like casting someone else as Dexter (from the TV series) or Barbossa - you do not mess with the best :3
Meh, my mom's boring. If she doesn't fall asleep a quarter in (she does that to every movie but those boring made-for-TV thrillers), she doesn't like the movie I recommend. She didn't even like POTC! How can you fall asleep watching POTC?
Lol @ username change. However, I'd recommend ihaveboobs4u (a lot of girls in my country add that useless "4u" at the end of their screen names). Ahh, I always end up laughing out loud at your posts c:

Why? :| It's perfectly normal to a be a pervert (in my logic); I think older people (out of their teens) should quit pretending to be prudes and just fess up. Who doesn't have fantasies? I for one am comfortable with my hardcore yaoi manga (and, as you've seen, sharing my barely decent avatars) and I urge you to be open ^^ Hell, I'm like that in real life as well and people have grown accustomed to me.


I need to see Dogma; I'll order it from Netflix when I have the chance, but one movie I'd heard about was Bottle Shock. Watching Alan being a snooty, wine tasting Brit sounds like an awesome way to spend an hour and a half, <3 And you're right, he's the only one who could've pulled off Snape's character like he did- and that voice, that voice- swoon.

Whoa, whoa~ falling asleep? During POTC? Is that even humanly possible? The second Jack Sparrow starts struttin' his stuff across the screen- it's impossible to look away.

4u? ACHOO! Sorry, my grammar gene had an allergic reaction. //laughs

You know, if I acted more perverted, I wouldn't be surprised if more people thought I was male. People just expect men to be a little perverted. Consider this: men often like same-sex relationships involving women, it's more socially accepted, but when a girl likes two guys with each other? "Dear god, what has the world come to?!" I told my mother that more females are like that than she thinks, and she looked at me as though I'd lost my marbles.

One day though, being an open pervert- it'll happen. I'll scare the holy-than-thou pants off of everyone when I do, though. //mission!accomplished

Quote by xAl-sanGirls = Perverts? When did this happen? I guess girls like to talk about that among themselves... cuz if I get all pervy around them, I usually get slapped.


Oh trust me, we're bigger perverts than the world realizes. We're just more adept with hiding it.

Haha, another person thought so?
God, I feel so manly today! If this keeps happening, chest hair and a goatee is imminent.

Yeah, I guess instead of checking profiles, we rely on our natural detective skills and make an assumption. I've done it too; and failed miserably.

Awesome;

Reminds me of my computer virus issues; my brother usually fixed it cause' he was more skilled in troubleshooting, however I realized that I needed to learn how to fix them myself instead of relying on someone else.

Needless to say, I kicked some serious computer virus hindquarters. //like a boss

Yeah, I usually assume the same thing too; though, referencing Jackie Chan with your username is awesome.
+ 1 epic win points for that

The 'Lupin' in your username however, made me think you were a guy. I was instantly thought, "Wait, Lupin the 3rd? or Professor Lupin from Harry Potter?" //dork

In reverse, I guess my username would lead people to think the same about my gender.

I have, on a number of occasions, been mistaken for a male. I had thought my username sounded feminine, but apparently I was wrong. Maybe I'm just overflowing with macho manliness even though I'm a chick. x) Still, I think I've been acting more girly lately, and I haven't noticed people mistaking me as often. Perhaps it's my recent use of my starstick.

Anyhow, I think this was an awesome idea for a thread! Just sayin'.

thats why now thanks to this assuming thing i usually check the user im talking tos page to find out wether they are male or female and go by that ^-^ away from that problem ^-^ its a bit imbarrusing i thought leaf was a girl too at first because of his feminen way of speeking but it makes him a very friendly easy going person and fun to talk to

it doesent really matter what gender your friends are as long as there your friends rite? and its the same for everyone

I admit, I thought you were male for a little while, until I checked your profile a little while back.
Your writing style online isn't overly feminine, which led to an assumption.

Starstick? I find it slightly ironic that I was listening to 50 Cent's song, "Magic Stick", about 30 minutes ago.

Lol, thank you! It kept happening so much, I had to know if I was the only one getting all of these misconceptions. //laughs

Nah never :P you can just tell by my avatars/usernames and my posts (I guess). At least no one has ever even hinted to me that the mistaken me for a guy.
I'm kind of a genderless blob online anyways XDD

But I'm one of those that often mistakes other ppls gender/age/you name it XD I just don't pay that much attention to that :3

@evelluchia
that's natural since I am a tomboy in real life :3 but I always hint I'm a girl in some way... but yeah it's strange how ppls opinions change over smth like that.

In places where you really can't relay on avatars and usernames, like online rpgs, ppl often ask the basic info about the person beforehand. I do too but I forget half a minute later :/

It's true.

One person on another site thought I was male, and when I told them I was female, I was suddenly getting hit on online. //cringes

I was like, "What the hell? Dude, just keep tellin' me about your favorite video games and sports- ? why can't we be (just) friends, WHY CAN'T WE BE (ONLY) FRIENDS. ?"
