When you think about your user name...does it fit your gender?

Talk about anything in here.

A Rant...

If you keep on getting mistakend for a bloke or a chick, turn your little gender thingy on for crying out loud,.... unless it doesn't bother you of course, then please do continue. Who cares if we know that your a boy or a girl? And who cares if we don't?

I just don't get it why people feel that by not showing their gender, their point of view on a matter will be viewed any differently then if they had showed their gender. Your gender doesn't matter, unless it is a gender specific thread.
And if people do dismiss your opinion on the bases of your gender, then its their fault, loss and stupidty, not yours.

I think gender mix ups are hilarious, especially on forums with no gender symbol beside the name (and it happens over and over :lol: ).

And I agree that avatars are a big cause of gender mix ups.

I don't think 'warrior' sounds very feminine...

I believe it was

its an I D 10 T error
You find that you have a weapon, an instrument that

In one word, you can stop time. It is a weapon
so powerful that even God will bow
down to you and all his angels fall at your feet.
What would you do with it?

Hehehe! Ashley is the MAN that Melanie marries, and Scarlett is in love with. Cliff notes rock. XD


Anyways, people usually have to ask if I'm a girl, even though Kaoru IS infact a girl's name, and my avi is a girl , too. I also use the gender thing, so hopefully everyone knows I'm a girl! XD That usually happens in the chat anyways, though, so haha. X3

hmm I wonder

I have been called a guy way to many times to be sure...does no one look at the gender sybols? not that I can blame them I have made the same mistake..thinking some one was one thing when they were another just cause I didn't look beside thier name lol.

so what do you guys think?

My name sounds feminine. Not many guys use ookami in their names. and not many guys names end with an a either. Only one comes to mind. Bakura from yugioh. :lol: And the fact that four out of the seven avatars ive chosen have been female probably doesnt help either. I've been mistaken for a girl alot either because of my username or avatar or both.
Absence is to love as wind is to a flame. It extinguishes the little, it ignites the great.

Life is a test. It is only a test. Had this been real life you would have have been instructed where to go and what to do.

When i argue with reality I lose.....But only 100% of the time.

Once you've decided on a course of action, only you can finish it. As long as you remember that, there's nothing you can't accomplish.

Not to tell you what your name "should" be, oro!girl7, but I think it would be pretty cool to see someone whose screen name was just

I was actually going to go with oro!, but i thought it would be too short and since I sometimes talk like a guy, kinda bad. Maybe I can change it...can't we just ask?

Considering the vast amount of times I am mistaken for a girl online (even in situations where my avatar isn't noticed, such as the chat), I'll have to say it probably doesn't...but I'm not going to change it.

I've been mistaken for a guy on the forums twice ... which boggles my mind. And slightly off topic, but you could have a name like sparklingpeachblossoms on xbox live and you'd still get called a guy. I thought hoodiegypsy sounded pretty girlish, (and my icon and armor are pink) but it was to no avail ...

But anyway, back on topic. I think Gypsy is pretty much a girl name.
