OK, for those of you who spend time in the chat rooms, do you find it surprisingly easy to identify the gender of a person from the username, even when the icon and name are not explicitly one gender or the other? (with apologies to trans, intergender, and other non-binary folks).
I'd say at a guess that I have about an 80-85% success rate. Do others find the same?
I do think many screen names are gender giveaways, even if the person is trying to achieve a neutral or different result. For whatever reason, it often times seems obvious to me as to the person's gender. Maybe it is a speech pattern or verbiage and I am just giving credit to the screen name.
Its fairly easy to identify the gender of someone in the chat rooms but other information can be a bit trciky - someone yesterday thought that the 10 at the end of my username meant I had 10" cock which isn't the case haha!
