    Because you saw a photo really doesn't prove anything.

    Unless you've spoken with her in person or at least on the phone, you have no reason to believe anything one way or the other. Just what you want to believe.

    You see by her actions and the way she talks, I thinks she is a he, way too male like in the way the person talks.

    Why wouldn’t you just accept the gender that any given poster presents themselves as, we are all avatars interacting with other avatars.
    It would be interesting if their were no avatars, and no photos or phone calls, would we be able to tell male from female solely from posting style and content and would we even care.

    Those of us who chat a bit - in forums and/or games - should be more interested in a closer acquaintance. For others it may not matter at all.

    Yeah sure if your actively befriending each other then you would probably want to share theses details so as to get a clear picture of them, but for many interactions we are just dealing with an avatar and then I think we should accept the avatar that’s presented.

    If you are smart you would be very careful who you give details about yourself to on this site or any site for that matter.

    I said you had to prove that Suzie was actually female as you are the one saying that she is for sure! Understand?
    @very-rusty

    Prove to me, here in this forum, that you are male.

    Andy I can prove that about as much as you can prove that Suzie Q is female!!! 😛 😉

    We know your male from your pictures at Phlabs BBQ, also some of the other people who I believe are still on the site who were at the BBQ. Two were held, but I believe only pictures from the first one were actually put up.

    You see Andy, I don't care if you call me he/she or she/he makes no difference to me as I've told you I've already spoken to people on the phone on this site who know that I am male. What you think doesn't actually matter to me. 😉

    I think he was saying that he is female, but on the phone has an unusually deep voice.
