I assume everyone online is a dude lol. Girls usually have better things to do. And i do think its really weird to lie about your gender online or in person, its just weird imo, no offence intended.

OT: I don't care, it's not relevant unless I'm being flirty, plot twist: Mellow is a girlIn MAL's collective fan fiction at least

Every active female is either a lesbian or a bisexual
Why is that? Do anime make females gay?
When groups get marginalized it's common to congregate around minority interests, there is also Yuri, which is nice and attracts a number of people

Or anime just makes you gay

It's stupid.
Maybe some think it's funny but I don't really understand people who do that.

Everyone lies about everything, so why not lie about gender?

Males most of the times are easy to tell by what they write. Females most of the times I'm not sure. I don't really mind though but it does bothers me that people hide it, I just don't see the point.
There's no such thing as a painless lesson.
They just don't exist. Sacrifices are necessary.
You can't gain anything without losing something first.
Although if you can endure that pain and walk away from it,
you'll find that you now have a heart strong enough to overcome any obstacle.
Yeah, a heart made fullmetal.

Indifferent. It's up to them if they want to pretend to be a gender they are not. Numerous reasons for doing it too according to what others have told me. Doesn't affect me because I treat people based on who they are, not their gender.

I doubt in most cases people lie upfront about it.

Either they choose not to openly discuss it or they don't really care what gender they're seen as on the Internet.

Only a true jackass would lie about their identity on the internet.

I never thought people told the truth on the internet anyway. You just kind of take it as a grain of salt.

I didn't used to show my gender because I thought people would take me more seriously that way, but to be honest people wouldn't take me seriously even if I was a male.

I dont show mine, not because i am insecure about it at all, but that i prefer that ambiguity. Why would anyone care, and what would it change in perspective?

Everyone on the internet is either a 14 year old anime girl or a 40 yr old creepy dude in his basement until proven otherwise. Also who cares? People who be trying to chop on an anime site are just sad.

People who lie about their gender are queer and strange, but I find those who lie about their age more stupid.

This thread is not a place to be spamming youtube links, images, off-topic conversations such as talking about shows (why was this even in here?), spamming Futa 24/7, and or having a conversation between one another (take that to each others' profiles).

I don't care really. If they want to be treated like a 16 year old high school girl, then I'll treat them like one.

Uh. This isn't OkCupid.
Now, if someone was (catfishing) trying to become romantically involved and that person led them on...then ok, but that's a personal problem, not a MAL problem.
I'm a girl, and my profile says as such...but people typically have more of an issue with me not disclosing age, location, etc. easily than proving I'm a girl.

I don't care what gender people list themselves as because I don't use MAL as a dating site.
