    I was just interested-

    Can anyone share their insights into which sorts of usernames they would assume tend to be male, and which female.

    For example, I’m almost positive BEST IMA is a female, unless it is a guy trying really hard to fool everyone. Which gender chooses cornier ones? longer ones? more religious sounding ones?-

    Perhaps we can conduct a study.

    Sometimes you can never tell, i thought shimmel was a male you know just the type and i was wrong! Also Hello Kitty i was positive was a female and he wasn’t! You’ll just have to wonder till they slip up and drop a hint.

    P.S.Which one are YOU? I think male but you never know

    male? really? that’s interesting… unless you really think the opposite and are trying to get me to confirm.. oh the mind game possibilities are endless…

    It would entertain me though if Poppa bar Abba was female, or shlomozalman…

    I’ve said way too many times that I’m a girl. I still can’t figure everyone out and that’s why it wouldn’t be a bad idea to put which gender it is under the username.

    My theory: (no one said anything about it actually working)

    Women take more cheery, friendlier names (like smile, smiley, hello etc)

    Men take more “lomdish” names, in Hebrew or Yiddish. And names of foods. (Although that wouldn’t work with kapusta)

    *kapusta*

    I grabbed the most religious name in Webster’s. What difference does it make? What’s your point?

    It makes a difference cuz I’m interested. And also because I’m planning to fool everyone with my next screenname. DUH!

    I think we need a thread for everyone to say their gender and about how old they are. Honestly I don’t want a 10-year-old answering my questions. I don’t mean like 28 or 30 I mean like H.S., post H.S. but unmarried, married, parents, grandparents, etc. GET IT?? We’ll see if anyone else agrees. I don’t say certain things because I don’t want a ten-year-old or something to answer as if he were my great-grandfather… What do u guys think?

    The CR is the CR. You just gotta take chances like everybody else. Life is one big risk. The CR is a little risk. You want to be bored or what?

    Take the comments for what their worth, not because of you think did or didn’t write them.

    I am a female. In order to really give and understand diff opinions in various threads, I think it is important to know genders. Since men and women think and respond diff…

    The OPs screen name, being a Torah theme, albeit a Mussar one, suggests a male. However, the topic chosen suggests the opposite.

    RuffRuff,

    “Albeit a Mussar one,”… like, how female is that?

    Mischief- you make me laugh. Do you really think that if someone says he’s male/44, that is true?

    Anyone can fool you online when you don’t see/hear them.

    It would be very interesting but ain’t gonna work.

    And btw Mischief- I really seriously always thought you’re a boy.

    #720864

    ok ok ok, c’mon, do you all seriously take everything here so to heart? goodness? and

    mischeif do you think pple will post what stage they’re up to and how old they are?

    #720865

    I know for sure smartcookie is female. Well, not for sure, but like 99%.

    As for me: male, 24 years old, married (3 years), no children yet, but 3 cats. Hashkafah: I’m somewhere between chareidi and MO (took a step ‘down’ in the last 2 years).

    Let’s see anyone else confess the way I did.

    Well Daniel, if you’re equating your MO status with a step down in your level of dedication to G-d and His commandments, then that is a shameful confession.

    Daniel- yes I’m female. But I or anyone else might be faking identity all these years.

    Just trying to say, that as long as you don’t know the person LIVE, nothing is certain. Therefore this study won’t work.

    the truth is never the truth until you see it with your own eyes and hear it with your own voice and until then just play it and have fun out there guessing.good luck to you all!

    the study was not to determine who actually is amale or female. it was only to gather everyones opinions on what sort of screenname they felt would belong to either a male or female.

    the men in the kitchen tread was fairly instructive, as was one thread that wandered into menstrual pain issues.

    As the expression “smart cookie” is used primarily by females in my experience, I automatically assumed you are a “She.”

    I am a female. Most people already know that. And I think it is true that different genders respond differently to posts. Women have binah yesairah, and men think in a linear way. It has to affect our way of looking at different issues.

    #720878

    Men tend to respond intellectually, while women tend to respond to issues emotionally. That is typically the most accurate indicator of the posters gender.

    While we try to figure out what gender the posters are, why not take it a step further, like what type yid you are e.i. yeshivish, chasidish, MO, etc.

    Ma chovaso; (To Daniel B.); You berate him for giving level grades in Yiddishkeit to distinguish between, let’s say a BMG member and MO. I love all Yidden. (Including the non-Religious.) But let’s be realistic. There IS a difference between the “Black Hats” and Modern Orthodox. Even among the MO themselves there are different grade levels. There are some in that camp (I know I’ll get H— for saying it. On another blog it created a fire storm after I made that statement.) that are no different than the Conservatives.

    You misunderstood me completely, I did not berate Daniel for distinguishing between different groups of Yidden, I merely questioned the apropriateness of the implication of his post. Please read or comprehend before you make statements.
