  • Well... it's hard to list everything, since a lot of it is subconscious thought, but... I can give it a shot. Please don't be upset if any of this sounds sexist or like profiling (because it is! why *wouldn't* it sound like stereotypes?). I know not every one is going to be true, but that's why it's a multiple flag system.

    Guys tend to:
    -Care more about their spelling / punctuation in the beginning, but become more slack with it later on.
    -Are more prone to describing emotions briefly
    -More often type "lol" than "haha, that's funny!" (and other similar things)
    -Tend to be more pushy (This is a HUGE giveaway. Girls are rarely pushy)
    -feel awkward when 'girly things' are blatantly mentioned (periods, birth control, discharge, etc)
    -are more straightforward with what they desire
    -are less straightforward about how they feel
    -usually have a 'breaking point' when it comes to inane gossip (sooner than women)
    -generally don't use proper punctuation, capitalization, and grammar (and when they do, there tends to be more of a sense of "superiority" than personal integrity)
    -don't shy away as much when asked sexual questions
    -often preemptively ask sexual questions
    -usually aren't typing as many words as women (I look through text logs sometimes and notice I say tons of shit, and they just drop 1-2 sentences between my paragraphs xD)
    -are more inclined to "prompt" conversation, than to desire responding at length
    -ask more questions, and freely offer less information / thoughts / etc.
    -don't know how to answer questions about things girls usually keep to themselves or share with other girls
    -are more visual regarding sexual things (send pics! or: look at my pics!)
    -are less visual regarding concepts and theories
    -boldly state opinions
    -are less apologetic
    -value logic more highly, and emotion less so
    -talk about sex more frequently

    Again, I'm SORRY!!! if you or anyone who reads this is offended! It's not meant to be a clear, "this happens 100% of the time!" list. They are generalizations, and some probably seem unfair.(They are, but that's how it works) I take each person individually :) And I don't begrudge female impersonators. Hope that helps!

    • I think it's an interesting list:) Has there ever been a user on IIN that you could never work out which gender they were?

      Sorry for all the questions btw:L
