Sex ratio

No, no, no ... not like that ...

Just out of interest, does anyone know the ratio of males to females posting on this site? The Margos, Jerrys, Toms and Barbaras tend to be a little misleading.

Hard to say really, I always think it is pretty equal. There is sometimes a gender difference in the type of posts men and women write, well I think there is anyway.

Trying not to sound sexist but, I think men tend to go for more technical posts and women more chatty. Could be wrong.

hmm yeh i would agree its fairly even.

dunno bout the type of post tho.. people keep thinking I'm a bloke... or does that say something about me... ack....

I think I expect some topics to be gender specific, then get suprised when someone like Stonehead or Nev comment on parenting, wee wipes or infantile crushes on TV presenters!
If I ever comment on anything technical or news related, its usually coz the dh is sitting there ranting and has forgotten his password.
The allotment stuff is me tho

Erk. Um. Yeah

In my defence the only other Red I know is a fella, so that's probably why with me

you know, it never occured to me really......in answer to the original question. I'm a newb too, so not much help really. Sorry.

I think there are more women... but I tend to be one of the ladies who is on building / technical things more.... sometimes.

With a name like Annpan, I don't think anyone thinks I'm a guy

Yeah, it is a little difficult to tell sometimes, and I have got it wrong on occasion too. Some forums you can actually put it on your profile. I suspect it is a fairly even spread.

You two made 100% sure nobody could mistake you for anything else!

I do think the avatar can mislead you in some cases...
