Full Version: Are you a dude or a girl?
I posted this to find out what the gender ratios are. Some people jokingly type thing "OMFG GIRLS WHO GAME" while others are like, "Dude, I know." So I just wanted to get a quantifiable answer to the number of Dumpshockers who are dudes, and the number who aren't.
b00bies here, thanks.
We girls are powerful, you know. We can bleed for five days and not die. 
Yeah, very freaking funny. There are no females on here. Only naked, overweight men with grey hair sitting at their keyboards.
the Internet: where men are men, the women are men, and children are FBI agents.

Didn't that case of the Mexican mother who gave herself an emergency Caeserian with a kitchen knife and a bottle of tequila put an end to the Which Gender Is Tougher Contest?
I don't care which gender's tougher; I'm just trying to find out for the sake of science or humanity or something.
At one point my party was 4 and 4. Of which 2 didnt like guys, and one didnt like girls. Yeah... I attract queers. Its a curse, I swear.

I've read some pretty awful things guys have done to their genitals before.
Oh, and I am a meat popsicle.
Man, and here I was thinking all this time that James was a girl. I thought that there's no way any guy could be as bubbly and cheerful as he is.

W.R.:
I resent that remark.
I do NOT have grey hair, thank you very much.

The poll question is itself fallcious. "Dude" is a gender neutral term which refers to any clueless tourist who pretends to be a cowperson or anyone who possess a zen surfer mentality.

And I'm rarely sitting logged into Dumpshock while naked.
Let me check, yep as I remembered, not a dude

Hmm, I wonder what would convince you that I'm telling the truth about my gender. Perhaps I should tell you about what happens to my body when it's that time of the month? In rich and vivid detail? Believe me, no man could make that up.
How about not?

Perhaps not trying so hard to convice people you are a chick and just enjoy the "atmosphere" here and have a good time?
Besides, I think plenty of the guys on here could seriously "make up" what happens when you get PMS and or bleed for 5-7 days straight. It's not THAT hard.
Bleeding for five days straight is something some of us males are not unfamiliar with.

no kidding. trying to shave with nothing but a cup of cold water and a safety razor you've used three times before will net you about a pint.
As long as you dont mind knowing you could slip and kill your self, straight razors are the way to go.
psh, hell with that. electric all the way. i have seen the light.
I just find it funny that Emo actually hopes for a realistic result from this poll...
At this point in my life, I couldn't care less if the reproductive organs are on the inside or the outside, I just want to know if they can game!
If I want to flirt, I can do that on IRC, IM's are a waste of time, half the 'hot girls' out there are little more than bots trolling for loosers.

he started the poll before that.
He started the poll before what?
I don't think any good can come from the direction this thread is going.
If this were Usenet I'd jump on the grenade and cry Hitler but that doesn't work here. Some of us play characters that make Hitler look nice by comparason.
So, I'll try to put this back on track and make it more shadowrun related.
How many people who claim be to female have played "male" characters?
For that matter, with surgical options available in the latter half of the 21st century is gender really a valid means of catagorizing metahumans?

You know, there is a discussion about that in SSG.
100% female here, to my husband's delight...

I LOVE that flick!
are there any 80% females out there?

That would probably qualify as a hermaphrodite... those, I understand, are quite rare - except for in the pr0n industry.
Here's a new character concept: Hermaphrodite Adept Gun Bunny! (sHe wears pink and packs guns!)

I'm not hot . . . at least, I don't think I am. I actually don't know. It's like Stanley Kowalski said: "I never met a dame yet that didn't know if she was good-looking or not without being told."
FanGirl, I was refering to the fact that in Yahoo (Chat of Messenger) one often get's spammed by 'hot chick alone and horny, wanna chat?' messages. There are a few variations, though it's become so canned now that you know it's just a bot or script trolling for gullible schmucks to see their pay-per-view sex web-cam.
Oh, I thought you meant the guys who pretend to be girls in order to play malicious pranks on other guys.

Dude, totally unrelated question. WR, you're on the dark continent right now, no? If so wherabouts are you?

Both cultural anthropology and internet porn tell us that standards of beauty vary so widely that that statement cannot possibly be true for all cases.

I never in my life thought cultural anthropology and internet porn would be cited in the same sentence to make the same point
I can vaguely understand some peoples' reactions when they meet female roleplayers, however, I'm of the experience of knowing quite a lot of female roleplayers, for both standard pen and paper to larp. We're really not all that rare.
In the SR game I'm in (not the one on DS), we have a 3:3 ratio of girls to guys, where the GM is included in the guy count.

psh, porn's been a part of society since there've been enough people around to form societies. i went to the cultural museum in Seoul, a few times. half of the artifacts there are little dudes with massive cocks, or little anatomically-correct chicks with their legs spread. there's even, i shit you not, a petrified wooden dildo. five thousand year-old sex toys.
Dude!

Now that would be an interesting form for the next ancient power focus the characters are hired to recover to take.
Female. enough said.
<---- is of the dude variety.
I'm not surprised at the poll numbers...
While my game group is evenly divided on gender lines, it's typically guys who post on the boards. None of the women in my group do any SR related stuff online. I guess guys a more nerdy that way.
Personally, I've found that women bring a much-needed point of view to gaming groups, and I much prefer a balanced gaming group.

I'm going to have to go with "not a dude" here. It's not that I'm female, understand, it's that I don't smoke nearly enough pot to be classified as a "dude".

I'm guessing you don't have a job in the cattle ranching industry either then
the testosterone levels in shadowrun are higher then the death rate in bug city.
