how come everyone assumes I'm a guy, like they do about so many other girls on here. isn't my avatar kinda cute too?
 
It's assumed that all people on the Internet are male. Why? Because women don't use the Internet.

uh, yea I'm a girl. is that hard to believe?

ur avatar looks so manly tho. with its large bulging eyes... very masculine. and the fact that it has no smile... ultra masculine. jk. 🙂

I'm a girl too!!!
 
Hmm...(well in my opinion and don't take this the wrong way) my exposure to "forums" is limited to car enthusiast forums, electronic crap forums, and forums about school. And generally, the demographic of people on car and electronics forums are techy/nerdy guys, therefore I'm just used to guys being on forums. I believe if you look up the most visited sites on the internet, many of the top sites are car forums. Maybe you girls can help us out, what other interest forums are girls predominantly on? Fashion/clothes forums? If those can become as popular or more popular than car forums, then the image might change.

I, too, thought you were a boy!😀
a picture of you on here would prove otherwise...or else...i am going to keep thinking you are a boy

P.S. by the way, dudes...stop hitting on me. Do not be fooled by that little cute cat, i am as masculine as they come 🙂
 
Mannn. . . First off, I thought you were a girl. Then I realize there are other guys too. . . how difficult.

by the way, dudes...stop hitting on me. Do not be fooled by that little cute cat, i am as masculine as they come 🙂

can i hit on you? i'm a girl.

LOL.
 
I thought a name like Cymbidium (which is a type of flower) would make it obvious that I'm a girl - but most assume I'm a guy too. Doesn't really bother me though.
 
ok... im guessing this is xxxthedonxxx aka blitzdt. ur so obvious.

no i'm not! you're so wrong...i don't even know who's xxxthedonxxx and blitzdt is/are. Those screen names are corny! My name is Michael Corleone and I graduated from "The School for Kids Who Can't Read Good" and I'm 25

P.S. btw...who is xxxthedonxxx and who is blitzdt?

Oh I am sorry, it's just that I assumed that girls dont know how to turn on their computers.

Or perhaps that only guys are idle enough to be online all the time.

The problem is, most guys don't know that it's a flower. I figured it was some sort of neurotoxin.
