I happen to believe that females are usually more liked than males, in general.

I hate having 'female' on my profile.
Before that setting was restored, I felt more comfortable being me.
People here spoke to me like I was a person.
It's a subtle difference, but I can feel how people are perceiving and behaving differently towards me now.
For example, no one ever called me a patronising pet name when they thought I was male.
But since I'm supposedly female, somehow it's ok.
Maybe I will abandon this account and join again as a male.

Ok. I'm confused. I'm embarassed even asking this - are you a female Raleigh? I've been thinking you were a male the whole time - one that crochets (which I thought was cool). Have I been wrong all this time?

Raleigh is female.

I think women are well-liked because they tend to be gentle, to have decent social skills. They tend to smell nice, too.

This is just a generalization, obviously.

What?! Isn't anyone who they say they are anymore? I thought she or he was a he. Are you even a he, Mr. K, or should it be Ms. K.? I don't even know what to say. It's deceiving and dishonest.

For anyone reading this - I'm a girl and I'm grumpy (just like my avatar) and I always tell the truth.

C'mon, Angela, don't overdo this!

It's obvious I'm a guy! That's my picture in the avatar.

I've never lied or been deceitful here. I tell it like it is.

Mr. K, I don't know what to believe anymore. I don't even understand the reason for acting like someone you're not. Its dishonest. That's one of the reasons I like being around Aspies is for their honesty. Its hard enough to trust oeople these days.

I have been mistaken for male for most of my life, even when I was a baby and wearing pink outfits.

I never said I was male.
I'm not responsible for your assumptions.

According to this post, I must not be the only one who thought you were male. Then your avatar is a male. And you even said that you wish the "female" thing didn't show up. What is a person supposed to think?

I think that you should view that post in reference to the subject of the thread -

Are You Better Liked When People Think You're Male?

Does that mean you assume that I'm a dog? Or I should think you are a cat with nursing skills?

I'll second the idea that calling someone deceitful and dishonest due to your own misconceived assumptions is pretty poor.

Maybe poor in your book, but not mine. I can't stand liars. Everyone talks about wanting to be themselves so do it then and quit hiding behind something or someone you're not. How do you expect anyone to believe anything about you or trust you if you're lying to them about who you even are? I'm tired of not even knowing who the heck I'm talking to anymore.
