How do you determine a male from a female online?

I generally get taken for male, so it made me curious what sorts of things make a person believe someone is male or female online.

Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

By what they say. Other than that, there's no real way to tell, and there shouldn't be. Society places too many expectations on what's "male" and "female" anyway. Most of them are completely worthless, or would be in an ideal world.

For the most part, I really don't put much stock in what someone says their gender is online. What matters is what they're like. A troll is a troll, no matter how he/she identifies.

I do my best to avoiding drawing assumptions online. Making the wrong judgment could offend the other person, and we all know what happens when we assume (makes an ass out of you and me....corny but true)

I would have to say that the first impression I see in people is as you stated, by the way someone answers a question or how they talk. This is of course placing stereotypes that men react in one way, and women in another. But in many cases it's true. There are always exceptions, where as there are men that show more compassion that women, or women that show more strength and hard emotion.

When in doubt, I say ask. If it is truly important for you to know the details of the person you're interacting with, ask them. Are you a Miss or a Mr.? Just explain that you didn't want to assume and risk offending them.

I would prefer someone to be honest with me, rather than assume I'm someone when I'm not.

I'm a 52 yr old male and sat in literature classes in grad school along with 12 other women. I've written poetry from a woman's point of view ie.- Why I needed so many pairs of shoes? If anyone could fake it it would be a writer. The best way I can think of is to listen to see if they use the words- I think or I feel. Men say I think and women say I feel. RS

Well, it's hard to determine it even if you see the person on cam unless s/he shows his/her genitalia (many are doing that), lol.

By what they say or ask. But then they could be lying to you too.
