Recently, an acquaintance of mine said:

"In a forum setting, people are quick to point out any action a woman makes, it's not only with traits that seem negative. Positive traits and experiences are magnified by forum communities when made by women as well, forums are the stomping grounds of the lonely and socially inept, a lot of these guys want to feel interaction with women so they blow up and bring to the light anything a woman does publicly because it puts them in interaction, makes them feel closer to a girl. It's what happens when you sacrifice the anonymity of your gender on the internet, you get more attention, both good attention and bad attention. If you dislike it, make an account that doesn't reveal your gender and people will assume you're male as default and you won't receive special attention from desperate lonely people, but I find from personal experience the benefits of being female on the internet outweigh the downsides. Overall, I generally prefer anonymity, puts myself at level-ground with everyone else.

"Telling people you're a girl on the internet immediately ruins the anonymity and separates you from the same level as everyone else. It also changes the attention you get. People will generally be nicer to you, and try to find your approval. But yeah, on girls’ profiles all of the time: weird random awkward comments like: "Hi. I saw you liked this on your profile. I like it too. blablablabla". I see that eeeeverywhere, lol.

"When nobody knows you're a girl, you're judged 100% by what you say and what you do. As soon as you say that you're a girl, that alllll goes away. If you omit the information, you are judged on equal grounds as everyone else, and people are 100% honest with their interactions with you."

Questions:
1. Does being an active MAL regular with the “Gender: F” in your profile almost always mean that you’ll end up being popular?
2. How do you differentiate a trap from a real girl on MAL?
3. Is it better to be a guy or a girl on MAL?

If you don't post at all, you won't become popular.

Being a shitposter is the faster way to become popular.

Sides Claire, you ruined your chances already to fit into that stereotype.

You posted too many threads about sex.

Oh my God. But sex and relationships are fun to talk about.

Personally I couldn't care less if a person ticked the female box on their gender on their profile, as a wise man once told me there are no girls on the internet.

Having "Gender: Female" on the internet (mostly on games, we all know bout this) almost never make me believe the person is actually a woman, and if they were, I'wdnt go to them sweet talk and suddenly add "^^" on my sentences, cause that's dumb '-'. But that's just me (And a helluva lot of other people).



Taking up the fact that MAL have 2.5 million accounts made, just having"Gender: Female" ain't enugh for popularity -3- o'course, but still, taking up the situation in hand, it might help indeed.
