I may have posted this already, but I like to know if I'm talking to a M or F...and it's tough to even figure it out while talking to a person. And some use N/A on their profile for gender status.

Now maybe all you old timers know everyone's gender, I don't.

It's no biggie but makes me wonder why the mystery????

Scientifically, there is no such thing as 'gender'.

There is only sex; male or female.

I'm a guy, but you know? the strangest thing has been happening these past few years. When watching movies where the bad guy risks his get away, to save the orphanage (etc) I find myself choking up. Wondering if maybe I'm testosterone depleted? Thinking about giving Frank Thomas a call.:rolleyes:

My avatar is masculine, but my sex is not. How would we know what everybody's sex is? There is no place to put it unless we do a signature

What you confused me. I will still go with the gender classification and in the profile we can add F or M. Your Username appears to be M and your avatar is a F or am I nuts???

I strongly second this.

I am a male, but my screen name is of my wife who is Chinese. So I am male, but the name is female.

I was thinking I was on a different board, but yes, I guess before or after our name we could have a capital letter.

Of course there are individuals who seem to get a thrill out of confusing the gender issue, masquerading as the opposite sex to deceive others for their own amusement. Seems like an odd way to cop a thrill to me.
I understand that for some there is a "hero worship" aspect that runs contrary to the above, but for the most part I have a hard time appreciating why someone would sport an avatar of opposite gender.

Not saying there is anything necessarily "wrong" with doing so....just that hero worship or deceit are the only motives that come to mind when I observe it

Well, GJ you wouldn't want to expose a softer side of you, would you? I gather F Thomas is your doc. Keeping hormones balanced HELPS everyone with overall health.

You might look at the DHEA Restoration History, I've been taking it for decades.....MOST out there are DHEA deficient. And the docs, omg, one has to be their own so so much of our lives.

No, Frank Thomas is a former baseball star who has this late nite TV commercial hawking a claimed testosterone booster nutritional supplement, that portends to restore male virility.

And after all the athletic oriented claims that the user will enjoy a return of strength and stamina, a blonde "trophy wife" type figure emerges in the background, and Frank concludes with a smile and says "By the way, she'll love it too"....with a sinister wink.

Classic trash late-night commercial

Ohhhhh! The DHEA is otc but good to stay monitored with doc and get levels checked....and dirt cheap and pharma keeps quiet about it. Wonder Why?????

Unfortunately, there are more than just a few people out there who cop a thrill by sending ersatz gender identity signals over the net. The thrill coming from the confusion they are able to create.
I remember back in the 90's when web access was first going mainstream, it was a huge thing for ghey guys to pose as lonely women seeking men...just to fool the heteros....sort of an online cat-and-mouse game for lonely hearts.

I suppose stuff like that is still going on. So, it's always "buyer beware" considering the anonymity of the internet. ;)

Surprise Surprise but one guy I worked with yrs ago was openly gay and everyone in the office loved the guy and he and I had a nice friendship with great open communication. He moved back to NC and then back to IL his home state and struggled with being accepted...I believe he's passed on a few yrs ago. His dog was his best friend. Resting in Peace, Gar

Yes, absent any will to deceive, most people have some redeeming quality. I was speaking specifically of individuals who had chosen to exploit ambiguity..."surprise surprise" in the non warm and fuzzy sense, :happyface

I agree male or female. I was curious about your screen name. Thanks for clearing that up. By the way, I am female, as if you all didn't know!:lol::wave:

You need to turn off the crazy talk conspiracy radio station and put on the classic rock station.

This is more for the best game, but one of the better songs on that album is Hearts Done Time. It has a kind of David Lee Roth era Van Halen feel to it. Ever heard it?

I probably heard it but don't recall it right now. I like Ragdoll and Angel. :)

How about Love in an elevator? That's on another album right? I love that song ! :)
