Gender query o.o

flyboy_foxre: random fact #4 on the "6 Random Facts" meme...
Given my propensity to be incredibly self-analytical and introspective, I'm wondering exactly how I come across to others, genderwise. Not that it's hugely important, because I believe at the end of the day, personality has very little to do with gender at all, but I would kinda like to know what gender-vibe I give off. I tend to see myself as being rather squarely in the middle. If I'm female, I'd be a tomboyish female, and if I'm male, I suppose I'd be a slightly effeminate male ^^; Do I come across as boyish, girlish, a bit of both, or neither? I'm thinking mainly in reference to my LJ posts and, to those of you who've spoken to me on IMs, the way those conversations have gone, too.
So if any of you would indulge in my self-centered querying yet again, I thank you ^^;

Date: 2006-11-02 08:17 am (UTC)However, I can say that when I first met you on MF, I was already under the impression that you were a guy. That could be because everyone else was, thus affecting me, but when I try to recall the mannerisms and all that, it comes out pretty much down the middle. Also, when compared to the few female friends I have offline, most of which aren't very feminine either, I can still think of differences that I notice with the guys as well, which leads me to think of placing you a bit more on the male side.
I'd say you're pretty acurate when you say squarely in the middle.

Date: 2006-11-02 09:55 am (UTC)Perhaps mostly since having a friend which is male but rather feminine in ways of showign emotions as well as other traits, but also know woman who are more "manly" then all that feminine and caring.
He, even I don't really see myself as really that stereotypically male for many reasons, but doesn;t make me think of being a girl or any such thing either though n.n
Still I guess you do get impressions that invoke some thoughts on what gender someone is or would be, as for example I always thought Jon lupus to be male on the mystic boards..though not really because of behaviour alone.
Of you, I can't say I really had any impression you realy leab too much towards female, didn't really take to much thought on it and ofcourse don't know you more then what I read in your journal.
Perhaps in chat you are different, but as of now I would still say you are predominantly male in impression in my opinion and point of view.
But this may be perhaps because i'm already more used to semi-feminine traits or other such things.
(though I don't really notice that much especially feminine traits in you through general journal entries..)

Date: 2006-11-02 11:30 am (UTC)But you only use AIM right?
I do have trillian and all, but I hardly ever use it as almost all have msn as well...or they use yahoo which can now be aded to windows live messenger too..
Well at least trillian is still on my comp, so should get online on it more often ^^;
May still mean i'll prolly get to talk to you only in weekends, on saterdays or so most likely.

Date: 2006-11-02 11:57 am (UTC)Besides I can use my (ever growing) collection of self made emoticons in msn/windows live messenger.
I'll see if I can catch you when I get home after work, but probably is more likely i'll have a better chance on friday or saterday.

Date: 2006-11-02 02:53 pm (UTC)And I'd you to give me a little nudge on this as well. Do you see me as a bit more masculine or feminine? I'm only saying this because until I told a bunch of people so many moons ago I was a girl, they thought I was a boy. ^^;;
no subject
Date: 2006-11-02 02:57 pm (UTC)And I pretty much figured you're a girl as soon as I saw ya on UB ^^ You're definitely not a complete 'girly-girl', but you seem female-like, if there's such a thing :P
no subject
Date: 2006-11-02 03:08 pm (UTC)And yes, I am a female, I do get kinda annoyed when people call me a "he" instead of a "she" (even if it is an accident) but the "girly-girls" who have to look ZOMFGPURRFECT!!1!!1!! really do annoy me. >_<
