    Default Gender in the postbit?

    This is just a poll to guage opinion. Not sure if I'm going to do it yet.

    A very simple modification could be placed on the site to identify gender in the post bit and profile.

    <---that space is the postbit.

    So what do you think? It will just be the little symbols in pink or blue. You know, the circle with the plus and the one with the arrow.

    What do you think?

    I voted yes because it's always nice to know who you're talking to. With usernames that don't really identify the person's gender, it's hard to determine.

    Am I the only one who was reminded of the Color Me Badd song "I Wanna Sex You Up" after that? ^

    I think the gender selection would be good,..but some people will choose to not answer it anyway.
    But, I vote yes.

    Is the why your mood is 'frazzled'?

    I jumped into the landslide that is yes. I'll have to find a bigger avatar I suppose.

    When two fit, it makes you think
    I got the cute one, my woman
    She says, "Lovin's all I bring"
    And it's her loving that's a wonderful thing.
    Lovin' yes we are, it's such a wonderful thing
    When two fit it makes you think
    See us both in the black
    She lays on me so relaxed.

    I totally sympathize...I really confuse people with two guy names, then 'Girly' at the beginning.
    Hey, will there be a gender selection for "both"?

    I replied no.

    Mostly, I worry about lurkers who may not be part of our community here (folks we trust) and that makes me a tad nervous. We do have some underaged members, right?

    I am probably being overly cautious, but there's a reason the internet has a creepy kind of underside reputation sometimes.

    If you read enough posts or interact enough, the gender gets figured out anyway.

    I guess what I was thinking is : if you have someone who is creepy, looking specifically for a boy/girl - we'd just be helping them out.

    That's true I guess. But I would assume anyone visiting the site would know that there was boys and girls here.

    The cool part about this (as someone mentioned) is you don't have to choose it in your profile if you don't want to. I could make it mandatory, but I won't.

    Well, gosh, the poll doesn't indicate that !
