Question - you say you "finally" got an account. How long have you been lurking? Long enough to comprehend this as expected behavior?

I'll try bringing in my digital tomorrow and getting a friend to snap a pic and post. Then all doubts will be put to rest. :camera:

I've been lurking long enough to know that the forums are mostly guys, but I figured that trend out in my CS classes. As to the actual reactions, I wasn't sure exactly what to expect. I figured there would be some "typical" guy reactions though, but I also was tired of just sitting on the sidelines.

I still don't get it why it was imperative for him to toss in a red herring and mention a G35... when the conversation was about nissans (yes I know about nissans relationship to infiniti)
Still won't get him @ss when he doesn't even have the key to run that thang :p

Well, assuming you're who you say you are, I'll explain a little. There have been several banned members who have returned under female names here, one of which was MiataGirl. So your claim to femininity is suspect until you have pictures, and even then, until somebody who's a longstanding member here meets you in person and can verify your claim. I've been to several netmeets now so nobody bothers me about it.

My one request would be, don't feed the animals. A word of advice - posting any provocotive pics will get you more attacked than almost anything else you could do on these forums. You'll be labeled an attention whore, defended, insulted, etc, until threads are locked at the mere mention of your name. Just a piece of AT experience; you can ask some of the other femmes for confirmation of this if you'd like.

Ok, now I'm not as confuzed. Thanks for the advice, I plan on following it.

Wasn't there a MiataGirl as well?

Ok, this is the second mention of MiataGirl. Who is MiataGirl? I haven't been lurking that long.

She was the resident whore here at ATOT. She has recently been let out to pasture.

Hey guys I think we found our replacement :D :beer: :p

Says the woman with pics in her sig...

They might not be provocative, and they might be there as a "take your assumptions and shove'em", but they're there.

Know how many accusations and PMs that saves me? Lots of guys have pics of either themselves or their SO's in their sigs, so why don't you not worry about it?
