How has it been for all the rest of the girls here?

I gave up counting long ago.

I don't post enough here. Most people assume I'm a guy using a female avatar - and I'm quite happy with that state of affairs. :D

Apparently it's cool for some guys to pretend that they are women online. You'll have to forgive everyone for assuming that you're a guy.

I assume everyone here is a guy, regardless of username or avatar, unless they explicitly state they are a female. And even then I don't always believe them.

You might as well get used to it. I've been posting here for over 7 years now with my name in my sig and it still happens regularly. Well, except for the old-timers I've talked to over the years, and sygyzy who refers to me as the resident teenage feminist. :p

I only bother to correct them when it seems relevant to the conversation, otherwise it doesn't really matter, it's to be expected on a forum with so many more guys than girls.

I've had it happen. When I first joined, most thought I was either nowhereman or posing as a girl.

There is only one Nowhereman, and that information is classified. ;)

:Q

My momma told me never to give out pictures to strangers. She also told me that girls are the devil... but if I'm really a girl, could I be the devil? :Q!
