Are you a Male or a Female?

[oneofmany]

Im curious, Im sick of thinking everyone here is a male, which i am by the way

[purple is a fruit]

Well I am a female as you would have figured out from the smoking thread. funnily enough (other than garth) I thought I was in the company of females in there:eek: boy did I get a shock:rolleyes:
Isnt it weird, I wonder what makes us come to the gender assumptions. I know many would rather stay anonymous in this forum which is fair enough also. After all what does gender even matter?
But it would be interesting to know who is who:)

[pollock]

Well I am a mother so....

It matters a naught to me, just curiosity killed the cat where im concerned, I also wonder why I thought most people on here were male, I just assumed I could tell a female from the way they converse, Boy was i wrong :o

I should of named this thread:What type of meatsuit are you traversing this earth in.

It might of got a better response :D

[pollock]

:) Or, what illusional shroud are you wrapped in?

[anoninnyc]

well i am a woman and i kind of assume that most of you are men, unless your name alludes otherwise.

[oneofmany]

The Women are outnumbering the Men so far. I wonder if that has something to do with Eve eating the apple? :D

[lottie]

LOL!!! you guys are so right!! Im assuming due to my name i dont need to explain which gender my meatsuit is?? cant wait to shed the suit though..... so restricting!! LOL!!!:D

Nice thread oneofmany :)

I must admit I have been curious & have been guilty for wrongly assuming the sex of one or two on here, not that it matters in the scheme of things, but sorry guys!!

Oh & I'm female by the way :)

[oneofmany]

And the Women hit the lead again

[i_am]

Make that 6-4 :p

I have been called brother, bro, mate, matey, fella and probably some other male type titles that elude me :rolleyes: but i_am definately female, a grandmother in fact....and NO! I am not contributing to the 'how old are you' thread.

C'mon gorgeous,

I'll even do your numerological chart for you.

P.S. - Welcome back from your holiday. Did you have fun ?

[purple is a fruit]

Haha! Nice try. I did it myself and I am a 5 so I read others' comments who are also 5.

Yes I had a great break in Bali. You know those people are still hurting so much. They relate everything to "since the bomb". There occupancy rates are still only 40% what they were before the bomb. And yet we could learn a lot from them. They are just the lovliest, happiest people even though they are extremely poor.

I am glad to hear that you had a good break.

Although, I could also do your birth chart for you and let you know which Arrows you have. I could even work out your day number, pyramid of peak years and astrological/numerological connection for you. c'mon, you can do it !!!

Very good, but why the self control, Have I offended in some way?

[purple is a fruit]

no not at all, it was the comment about all the females and not as many males....being a female i was tempted to pass comment on this in rather a female way, but resisted the urge.

In this incarnation, I am wearing the Male flesh.

[limelady]

Hey oneofmany, if you're looking to score 'Brownie Points' with the ladies......well you're doing great!!!! :D

Seriously though, I agree with you, but I reckon a lot of men are starting to think more right-brained, so if this trend continues humanity will probably do O.K.

My opinion is that when the Annunaki were having a fiddle wound with our DNA, they deliberately gave men more testosterone than was necessary for reproduction, for the reason that it makes them more aggressive and easily wound-up and provoked into war-like actions. Generally after the age of about 45-50 when the over-abundant amounts of testosterone have abated somewhat, even some of the most 'nastiest pieces of work' I have known seem to calm down a lot, and generally speaking, men turn into more mellow and charming individuals that women find easier to love and respect. :p

Psychopaths excluded here of course because there's often no hope for them whether male or female ;)

I'll probably be in trouble with the men now for saying all this lol :D

Not at all as far as Im concerned Limelady, I truly believe what i said. As for the testosterone levels in boofheads, iam all i am and i came up with a term for these individuals, "MACHO MEN". We have both had run ins in the past with these MACHO MEN type characters, who would like to beat your head in because and i quote I dont like the look of your face What can you teach individuals like this? the short answer NOTHING. I've never had this problem with women and I suspect i never will, thus my reasoning. At the end of the day Lime, I couldn't agree with you more :)

I think maybe Emma wishes to have his/ her gender remain anonymous. So probably best we all respect this. After all it is a choice to reveal this.

I am sure oneofmany has meant no harm by this emma.

I agree. Although it was all meant in fun, I feel it is now time to be respectful towards emma. I will edit the post.

Interesting thread this is turning out to be. And I'm still bloody glad there is a good female presence , most of my friends are women, when I was younger, I used to hang with the lads, but that ain't so these days.

Hi Phoenix1, I have read your thread regarding missing the old forum, and allthough I did not venture there, but from the description you gave, i would guess it was a fairly male dominated forum, hence the difference here. http://img265.imageshack.us/img265/7766/smokingon7.gif

[ho1ogram]

"male |m?l|
adjective
of or denoting the sex that produces small, typically motile gametes, esp. spermatozoa, with which a female may be fertilized or inseminated to produce offspring : male children. • relating to or characteristic of men or male animals; masculine : male unemployment | a deep male voice. • (of a plant or flower) bearing stamens but lacking functional pistils. • (of parts of machinery, fittings, etc.) designed to enter, fill, or fit inside a corresponding female part." Oxford, American .

I produce motile gametes so I must be male.

Man, earlier on tonight I called earthseed brother. Whoops! I assumed your username meant you spilled motile gametes upon the earth!! Sorry 'bout that.

For the record and because I don't mind if I put my foot in my mouth, I thought that;
pollock and i_am were male.

I had lovely female vibes from lookfar.

I thought anoninnyc was female, confirmed with the 'i'm pregnant' thread.

purple is a fruit?! No f'n idea, those names throw me right out. Till I saw the smoking thread today with your pic.

tinmenace I thought was male.

pheonix1 I wasn't sure about.

Don't let this person get to you. Don't react. Take a deep breath, calm down and then respond if you must but much better to ignore it. PM a mod if you want the posts removed.

There will always be people who push our buttons and they just do it to get a reaction. If said reaction doesn't come, THEY are the ones left fuming. Much better them, methinks.

How hard is it to keep up with new posts? you even have a button for it. I can and I am only one person, you are supposedly many. please don't use this an excuse. just admit you missed the offending post, don't tell me you've been stretched thin. there are more moderators than just you. At least one recognises that. Closing the thread is just what the offending poster wants, and going to you guys behind the scenes has never worked for me before, I don't see the need to hide the malicious posts of one individual. Why not let everyone see what this person is really like and let other posters make up their own minds who was wrong or right?

[thirdwave]

if we have missed a insulting post then we have missed it...simple as that. We do our best to limit the abuse but now and again you are going to miss some.... its up to one to not take it so personally at the end of the day as its only what the attacker wants....

I have not even seen the deleted posts and am quite confused with the situation...

note we all have lives outside of the forum and if we have not got time to check the board then some of these silly posts might seep through, but I think over all the forum is quite civil.

How hard is it to keep up with new posts? you even have a button for it. I can and I am only one person, you are supposedly many. please don't use this an excuse. just admit you missed the offending post, don't tell me you've been stretched thin. there are more moderators than just you. At least one recognises that. Closing the thread is just what the offending poster wants, and going to you guys behind the scenes has never worked for me before, I don't see the need to hide the malicious posts of one individual. Why not let everyone see what this person is really like and let other posters make up their own minds who was wrong or right?

Thanks for the advice on running a forum. You yourself are treading a very fine line.
