| the ones that treat you bad if you're not rich and good if you are |
lots of music -  |
| At most, you could only have a Probability that a Person is of a specific Sex, which could be influenced by the Writing Style and by Information you're reading about him or her, unless you meet them in Person. I don't think too much about it, because I don't really care about what biological Sex anyone here is. |
| When a profile reads that they're female (not specified too, for the most part), I believe that they're female. I mean, sure, pretending to be a female on the internet can get you more attention. I've just always had a hunch that it doesn't happen as much as people say it does, though. I'm gonna go ahead and say that I'm no good at pointing at those kind of people. |
  |
| If they always make a big deal about being a girl they probably aren't. |
 |
| But why do you even need to know, unless you want to date? I think that you should let people be whoever they want on the internet. And these witch hunts are rather annoying. As for your question, if a person tries to impersonate a girl in a dominantly male community, he has specific goals, i.e. attention whoring, benefits, trolling, whiteknight support. Normally said person won't have enough patience to play it straight. So if a person is too hard on these things and/or slips from time to time, it's high chance that he is a fake. Some manage to keep the image for years though. |

| Wait Nico is a Male? |
 |
| A bit off topic ... The way i treat users is not correlated with their self proclaimed gender/sexual orientation. If they behave like a delicate snowflake ... then i will treat them accordingly. If they identify as female and have the mouth of a salty redneck truck driver ... then im sure as hell aint treating him/her/it/watever the f like a lady. @OP having said that , i do not really care one way or the other if they are females or males IRL nor do i actually have the means to distinguish one from the other. |

| If people act very unnatural they're obviously not who they say they are. |

| I never really saw Snowbelle as a "female name", I don't know why. It didn't seem any less masculine to me (Maybe 'cause I'm weird). But when I changed it from "aha" to "Snowbelle" I copped endless flak. Thanks brain, wtf |

"On the Internet, no one knows you're a dog." Weirdly enough, I've already been catfished twice, and this was before I joined the MAL forums. One of them was no surprise, one at the time, since I sort of liked "her" rubbed me the wrong way regarding females on the 'net. Found out around 4ish years back though. Aw, then I see where you're coming from. I hope you didn't go out of your way to meet them, and that they just gave up the act somewhere down the line. |

Nico- said: Agreed. Why I wanna know is because I'm curious what everyone here thinks and it's no secret here that I usually don't give "female" users here the benefit just because of their gender as I usually think it's a guise for victimization at times. Don't get me wrong though, I have plenty of female Internet friends, but it's the ones who are so into their "gender" that always give me a bad impression easily based on past experiences of being catfished in the past. I think that the good idea is to treat the annoying as the annoying. Genitals don't have much to do with it anyways. Though it has come to the point that I don't know myself. In the community, where I have been active for 4 years, used to be a moderator and create content, some people still say that I am treated well because of my gender. Even those who are not new sometimes claim that they use less curse words around me. On the other hand, I've been in bad fights there, and there're some severe gynophobes who start to bash me straight from the start (or any girl for that matter), or people, who end up any discussion with "but what a woman like you can know". I've seen advents of many camwhore goddesses and even trap goddesses as well. So, in general, I think it's better to chill out, unless you have some plans on the person. |
| It isn't always easy to tell, but I don't think a lot of people lie about their gender on this site. It's just a hunch of course, but anime isn't really something that is primarily dominated by one gender or the other (maybe it leans slightly more towards males nowadays though), so it isn't the same as say, a video game forum or MMO, where people are more likely to pretend to be female for the laughs, attention or to try and get special treatment. As others have already said though, if someone seems to be trying too hard, or comes across as being a bit "fake" or too stereotypical, they're most probably lying. Edit: Nico- said: Don't get me wrong though, I have plenty of female Internet friends, but it's the ones who are so into their "gender" that always give me a bad impression easily based on past experiences of being catfished in the past. This too. If someone seems to keep subtly (or not so subtly) referencing the fact that they're "female", it just feels fishy as hell. Most girls are perfectly aware of their gender, they don't need to keep reminding themselves and others. |

| There are subtle differences on how men and women talk. This also manifests on how you type as well. Do you have an online crush you suspect as male, Nico? |

Nico- said: RiggyRascal said: Aw, then I see where you're coming from. I hope you didn't go out of your way to meet them, and that they just gave up the act somewhere down the line. Way back then I kind of didn't exactly have a love life like the one I have right now. This thread was actually at the request of my current girlfriend believe it or not, because she wanted to know how people felt about that and she doesn't feel like doing it herself because of a possible reception she might get, so I did it for her. All of the catfishing I've gotten was a part of my gaming community, tons of people actually pose as girls all the time, and it's really hard for many people to see the differences :P Ohh, online games? If that's the case I always assume dude. Character gender, name, what have you, it's still probably a guy. Not even because of the attention or deception either. It's just fun to pick the girl character. Sometimes. Rarely. Nothing wrong with that. |

Nico- said: Oh my... Gender in my gaming community is so male-centered, that there's either a shitton of white-knighting of the "female" or those "stereotypical" gamers who literally hate on girls that beat them at whatever happens when it happens. It's not exactly the brightest one either tbh. Yeah, exactly, that is a gaming community. We had a season of traps once, when there were two cases of traps created specifically for trolling one after another. And then there was that one "girl", who even provided a photo with a nickname. It was his sister, as it turned out later. I thought the user was female too! Frankly, I don't know why he did it, he didn't really reap any benefits, at least he was acting as a sane female person of the type that doesn't get much benefits. On the other hand, I'll be honest, I am a bit nervous there recently, cause I got into a dispute with a person, who consistently writes that he likes ISIS for killing women, especially by the way of leaving them in the desert up to the neck in the sand. It's the first tume I meet a person that mental, but it's kind of disheartening. |
| Well, I honestly don't know, I've been roleplaying in MMO as the opposite gender and somehow passed the turing tests. It made me skeptical about online identity even though I'm the one who lied. |

| There are no girls on the internet. Simple. |
| There's a time i talked to a girl for like 6 days we got to know each other, she has a very beautiful pic in fb. but when i tried exchanging skype or viber, she wont. It turns out she's a male. It got me thinking, what if I pretend to be a girl too? I think it would be fun. Girls open up more to another girl in the internet, so just try to get information of her. i prove this works, i tried pretending to be female on fb once, and i asked girls if we could exchange pics or secrets, it does work. Nico-chan dont worry, female friends on internet will come eventually. |

Nico- said: LMFAO, classic gaming scum. Here's why everyone can't take gaming communities seriously for the most part. Most of the Internet's scum originates from there (particularly NeoGAFs/Steam Community). Oh, yeah, and also there was that one famous text "Why to love, why to suffer, if there're prostitutes for 2500 (rubles)" about the treacherous ways of the females, written without punctuation, spelling or thought process. :D One of the most loved local memes. It was really fantastic. Eh, the times.

It turns out she's a male. It happens. I didn't had a microphone and could't go into voice chat once, and the guys ended up telling me "Don't worry, we'll understand if you're a guy". >< But fine, I won't spoil the fun in the thread anymore. It has to attract more tricked and bitter guys. |

Nico-chan dont worry, female friends on internet will come eventually. I see, so this is one of the reasons why dudes pretend to be chicks. It's always been a bit of an enigma to me, I just assumed most did it for attention or they wanted to get some cheap giggles. Girls have never been very open with me online though, maybe they think I'm a male in disguise, who knows. Someone refusing to talk over Skype could just be they don't have a mic or webcam, but even if that is the case, you might want to start assuming your female buddy is male if that happens. I personally can't talk over Skype because I don't have mic or webcam (not on my desktop anyhow), but I have 3 different headsets for 3 of my gaming consoles. They're the only thing I have to "prove" my gender. I wonder if some people go as far as getting their sisters or girlfriends to talk for them over voice conversations though? That would be taking things to a whole new level though, like the Twilight Zone of creepiness. |

| You can't no matter what the gender though your way of figuring it out is pretty dumb. |
