    This is some serious backward thinking :eek: i cant believe that in this day and age that these sorts of questions come up, shows how much of a bad balance there is in the world.

    This is ridiculous.

    Who has put this nonsense into peoples heads?

    IMO, it doesn't matter if you're a girl, a guy, an alien or a hot dog. If you have talents, you can become a great designer. All it takes is a bit of creativity, lots of effort and willing to learn.

    Girls can have better skills in designing and likewise for men. Sex or Gender is not a factor..

    in some parts gender might be a factor;)

    boys/man are spending more time on the net and on a computer so for them it could be easier to handle it and most time it'S easier for them to learn languages as html/ css or php

    but it's definetly possible for girls to become webdesigners you only need to learn how to use photoshop and get some coding knowlege in html/css and a bit php

    That's an advantage but not an absolute must. I'd hope for creativity instead, learning photoshop is only a matter of short time. If a designer's blood isn't running through your veins, then you'd better be learning something else.

    Boys always want to do something new with web designing and they always do experiments with their PC's and all other things but on the other side girls hesitate to do this.
    that's i thinking.

    thanks

    What age frame are you looking at?

    I've experimented with my PC for years, yet I am not a designer. So I guess your thinking might be wrong at a point.
    Today I only touch the box when I need to do cleaning or hardware upgrades. Guess that's a sign that people do grow up ;)

    It takes time for someone to understand what he seriously wants to do and is good at.
    PC experiments have more to do with curiousity and do not necessarily relate to being a creative person.

    Maybe in your opinion, but I happen to know a lot of girls that spend quite a lot of time on the computer too. You can't just make sweeping generalizations like "men spend more time on the internet" without some sort of evidence/study.

    As someone said above, creativity doesn't depend on gender.
