Instead of making unsubstantiated claims like a nutty conspiracy theorist who delights in repeating the same things over and over again to bolster your pride from hearing your opinions being harped back to you on an anime forum, go on a Skype call with the person of suspect to get a definitive answer, or at least find out whether someone from your community has already been on one with them. And...if you're so inclined to take your little hobby to the next level, you might even suggest a meetup, although from my observation, a large portion of you are too narrow-minded to even entertain the idea, overestimating the value of your time regarding the entertainment of whatever is even worth your while.

It's best to not even care.

People will pretend to be girls on the internet for as long people will reward it. Every time you decide to give a girl a better treatment just because of their gender, you give males a reason to lie about it.

And yes, the only way to really find out is to have a Skype conversation, preferably with a webcam on as well.

Though the person may refuse and have refused offers of Skype calls,which would not prove anything.

And a meet-up could be bit of a issue,since many users are from different places across globe.

Girls open up more to another girl in the internet,


not universally true I've only opened up to guys but maybe they were pretending to be guys, who knows

also-if a girl refuses to talk on skype it doesn't automatically mean she's male, I personally have a disgusting xperience with skype and boys I don't exactly know.
skype conversations are like for super close friends.
so have patience and maybe she'll give you skype!
if you're only after sex tho maybe say so beforehand.

Agreed, if people keep treating girls on the internet like unicorns, this "I'm going to pretend to be female" thing will continue forever.

I agree with this as well. I'm not about to suddenly talk over Skype with some guy online that I've only known for 5 minutes. It will just feel awkward, I won't know what to talk about because I don't know who he is or what his interests are, and there's going to be the strong sense of an ulterior motive.
All of my online males friends that I've spoken to via voicechat, I've known for a few months beforehand at the bare minimum. Thankfully I haven't had any bad experiences. Yet.

I don't know and I don't care. Its a gender thing, the respectful thing to do is refer to someone by the gender they wish to be recognized regardless of their biological sex. So thats what I do, even if I know that the person im speaking to is some faggot pretending to be a girl for attentiion. I dont care if you arent really a girl or a guy pretending to be another gender. You are some stranger on the internet and I sure as hell dont treat women special because im not a cuck that thinks ill get offered sex or something from a cute girl over the internet if i act like some white knight.

I don't think too much about it, because I don't really care about what biological Sex anyone here is.

Difference here is that pretending to be another gender for attention isn't the same thing as being transgender, because those people are only presenting to others as female and not actually identifying as such.

Unlike the former's grasping for attention, being transgender is understandable. It's a shame the community is misrepresented by extremists.

When do you feel that girls on the Internet aren't exactly for real? Usually when I notice that a person is trying super hard to act like a female instead of naturally acting like one, I immediately can infer that it is actually a guy who is trying to seek for attention, while I might be totally wrong, that is just what my gut always says. Case in point, it's hard for me to make female friends here for a reason.

And you, MAL users?


I always assumed you were female for some reason... Maybe its the avatar.
I am pretty oblivious. So many people have female avatars, then they talk about some video game only a dude would like and Im like 'wait a minute..'. So I dont bother trying to figure it out now.

If all else fails, observe their manner of speech.

It is actually very easy to tell apart who's a guy, who's a girl, and who's pretending to be the other.

That's one way to go about it.

My take: I can usually, very easily, tell apart the two genders. Possibly experience or maybe just intuition. I don't know how I pull that off, but I do. But, most of the time, I don't stress over it, not in the slightest. If a male's purporting to be a female, I've got no qualms. If a female is purporting to be a male, I still couldn't care less. Give me a quality conversation and I'll give you one.

The best way I can describe it is how they type. Do they have certain nuances in their sentences? Do they use symbols, punctuation etc in a certain way? Do they use emoticons, and what kinds? Do certain topics interest or trigger them?

Of course, everyone has a different way of typing on the net, but after a while you start to see these patterns.

If they have unapologetically shit taste then they are more likely to be the gender you aren't.

I always look into styles too. If it's done in such a fake/shallow way, I immediately think it's trap-worthy.
Which is why it's important to at least meet each other once before falling in Love. If it's only about finding Friends, biological Sex and/or the social Gender shouldn't matter.

Problem is, you need to thoroughly investigate, especially when People don't seem to write either like typical Male or Female or like a typical (Reverse) Trap, but could be around 40-60% of either Sex and even if you do, you still can be wrong with your Conjecture.

Me too, and it's not like I would play-act as a Female. If anything, I doubt that anyone has ever seriously regarded the Option of me being female, since my Writing Style doesn't strike as typical for a female User and my female Avatars haven't changed anything about that.
