How do you tell if a forum user is a female or a male?

[TheDamien]

I heard, from 4chan,

4chan is not an educational resource; I really wouldn't treat the things posted there as being serious, if I were you.

that to tell a user's gender, one must try to read what that person said, then use logical reasonings to see how genders talk.

Genders don't talk, people do. There is no way of accurately deducing a posters gender, you can only ever make statistical evaluations. Why would you want to, anyway? On the internet, users are merely a superset of their input. You can safely assume they are human, but little beyond that.

Boys: Leets, Slangs, etc.

If they post "how can I tell who is a girl?/How many of you are girls?" It's a guy

This is the internet, men are men, women are men, and children are undercover FBI agents.

I try to avoid typos and grammar mistakes as often as possible, but that doesn't mean that I'm a girl...

Person who has bad grammar is probably a hacker of some sort. They also use "u" instead of "you", "i" instead of "I", "m8" instead of "mate", "plz" instead of "please", "2" instead of "to".. and the list continues.

So grammar separates hacker nazis and normal people, not boys and girls.

its very simple to tell what gender people are on the internet

because...

THERE ARE NO WOMEN ON THE INTERNET!

What? So a person who's simply bad at English is actually a hacker?
Complete nonsense. Only the wanna-be kiddies purposely use bad grammar to look like hackers.

If you really like to find out if a person on the internet is a girl...you should come out of the closet.

Not to look like hackers but 2 b c00l

How many girls are there that uses a blog?

That one would definitely beat boys out of girls by 45% more times than here.

So, it doesn't mean there are no women on the internet is true. (Quoted by Jackel)

It's simple, tell them you know where they live and that you will smite them down with your sledgehammer (or something similiar, just as long as it includes loads of violence).

If they give any violent answer - Male.
If they ignore you - Female.

You can't tell just by the way they type or 'act' in the internet. There are no rules, no guidelines, maybe clues, but no 100% way of telling what gender the person is. There will always be exceptions for every 'rule on guessing gender' why? Because everyone's different. Sometime's it does work, for example the username '~GaLs~', or Jessi's avatar of herself.

If you really want to know, just ask.

That's another risk you're willing to take

You are a 40 year old male star trek nerd living in your mothers basement with a fetish for fish and little boys unless you get on live chat with me and state who you are.

Thats what I think when on the internet.

 

[MeRcChRiS]

Dude, how did you know?

 

[esb]

Well, in that case, we're all caught =D
