| Alright so early this morning, I was looking at someone profile after I saw their review on Monster, I saw Monster was their 2nd favorite manga I looked up to see what was their first and I saw kuroshitsuji and I was like "WTF" i then looked over to the gender on the profile and saw it was female and was like "oh that makes sense" I have done this a few times before to lol, has anyone else ever do something like this? |
 |
| I usually notice the gender before the user's favourites. |
| Yeah... gender is like the first thing that I look at for some reason. (so this never actually happens to me) |
 |
| I notice the gender first because its well first. That said, seems kinda messed up to double standard your opinions based on someones genitals. |
 |
| Well... I'm a girl. But generally speaking, I usually go to the profile of a user and check out the gender first.. I don't know why exactly either:D |

| I usually check compatibility first, then gender. If we have good compatibility and their gender is female, I get quite allured... as creepy as that sounds. |
| I don't look at gender at all. What does it matter whether someone is male or female? |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |

| Profile pic, about <username>, compatibility then gender … |
kuuderes_shadow said: I don't look at gender at all. What does it matter whether someone is male or female? It shouldn't matter but to me it does I suppose. Especially when it comes to Sienen anime. I would think it would be great if a dude gave it a 10 other than a female... Maybe it's just me. |

Meri said: You could never guess Im a girl from my favorites. Im with Alex on this, just because gender is higher on profile page so I read it first. From favorite anime maybe not but from favorite characters yes. The same goes for me though. Btw how did you managed to have 8 favorites? I want that too.

Maybe it's just me. Huh! 0_o. What's so great if a guy gave a senien anime a 10? That's usual. |
| I am actually a girl in real life. I only say I am male on my profile so that people take my opinions seriously. |

| lol i look at the profile pic first for some reason XD and i guess my anime favorites are a giveaway to my gender ^^" i think XD |

| I always stumble across profiles of those creepy girls that have higurashi and shit on their favs. Creepy avatar. Check Higurashi on favs. Check Female. Check |

| I always look at age first. Then I wonder how they are able to access the internet at 5 years old, but begin to think it would explain their taste. Then I realize I'm not in 2001 and they are teenagers. Then I am disappointed. Gender isn't remarkable since almost half of MAL is female. |
| What is the point of this thread? I don't understand. Someone, explain it to me. |
| What's the big deal? Jeez, gender stereotypes much? |
Anime figure reviews: |
| Gender isn't a big deal at all if you ask me If someone should be judge on somthing it should be on there age but there's 12 year olds out there who are more mature then even i am so really who cares Let the person be them and you be you. |

| I just imagine everyone looking like their avatars and ignore whatever information is on the rest of the profile. |
| I would rather take that females opinion over a Rebornfag who scores stuff 10and adds it to his favourites after 1 episode. |
fuck everything and rumble |
| interesting topic, i sometimes check gender but never really thought about as to whether theres a purpose for it, meybe just an interesting tidbit to read? |
 if i have the grass to lay on and the wind to stroke my cheek, i dont need anything else, sleeping with a contented smile. |
| Gender is of little importance, if the personality behind a username/alias is fantastic who cares? |
 |
| I'm a girl on Tuesdays and Thursdays, does that count? |
| My apologies, children, for I am afraid I cannot save you all. |
| Naturally, when I check a profile my eyes does tend to wander and see what gender they are. However, it's just curiosity, so it holds no real importance to me in the end. |
| Considering this is the internet and people can LIE about that quite easily [like lying anywhere else in general], you really have no way of verifying someone's gender, and that doesn't just go for those who say they are female, it goes the other way too. Thus I really don't care what someone says about what their gender is and don't really pay attention to it until I hear them in an actual voice chat, which I wouldn't care to take the time to do for probably anyone on MAL. I can see how on some things there may be a difference in rating between how a female might view/rate it compared to a male, but I think in most general cases it will not be anything significant. I just find it rather pointless to have gender influence my opinion of how effectively they can rate a show as long as they can back it up with a sensible opinion. |
| Am I the only one who checks out location first? |
| Signature? I ain't got no signature! I don't need no signature! I don't have to show you any stinkin' signature! |
| Girls on MAL - making sure Junjou Romantica and Honey&Clover stays high up : /. |
| I always check the birth date first. It's the most useful information you can get from a user's profile. |

| Honestly, I rarely even see that the user has mentioned his/her gender o.O most of the time I check the birth date and location (it always makes me happy to see anime fans from Europe!) if those are available |
| I'm so happy that girls exist. Don't really get this thread though. But whenever I get a positive comment on my profile from a girl, I feel like flying over the rainbow while melting away in the sunset, chasing my dreams to an overdimensional warpgate of destiny, where love can be boundless. |

Clous said: I notice the gender first because its well first. That said, seems kinda messed up to double standard your opinions based on someones genitals. Why? It's only natural that men and women would in general have different tastes. |
| Always happen to me lol. I should look at the gender first. |
| I just amuse everyone is male on internet despite what their profile says, unless I get to know them personally. |
| It doesn't think, it doesn't feel, it doesn't laugh or cry..... All it does from dusk till dawn is make the soldiers die. |
| Ah refreshing, but no, seriously whether the user is female or male does make a big difference in the perspective, because in general both grow up in difference social contexts and also females have an inferiority complex towards men hidden deep down; that being said i get the thing OP first said, where i see a message and go see if she's a female, keeps my senses sharp when i'm bored. And yeah i also look at the age when one posts something juvenile or viceversa because no matter how hard i tried to not generalize in the end it proved much simpler. |
| Closer. |
| I always have my fap hand ready when checking out other users' profiles. |

Did you really just say that women have an inferiority complex to the almighty man? I can honestly say that I have never once felt that way. In fact, I have more education and a better paying job than a lot of men I know. I'm just going to let this one go right here because I'm guessing you just know no better. Being a female really has nothing to do with my taste in anime or manga. If you look at my lists, it's typically darker, bloody and brutal things. I like dirtiness and griminess and love stories really get on my nerves. I mean, I run a guro blog, is that feminine? This whole thread is really revolting if you think of the underlying contexts of it. The whole "girls like pink, boys like blue, derp" mentality really shouldn't fit in on this type of site, I would think. /end rant |

Does everything have to be super mature and super intelligent to be good? No. 99% of manga/anime is full with bishounens and bishoujos. Even in Monster, lol. I'm serious xD. I usually look at the country they are from than the gender. |

Something mature and intelligent can be butchered by sh*tty presentation, music, colors and stuff like that. |

Something mature and intelligent can be butchered by sh*tty presentation, music, colors and stuff like that. That would be an example of an anime that failed in its presentation. Mindless anime's that lack a cohesive plot and don't possess any form of intelligent plot progression, on the other hand, seem fairly lackluster. But I see you're a fan of Bleach, so my argument might not make sense to you :/ |
