    What do you think? A ton of people are falling online for dudes posing as hot girls. Can you tell a forum poster's gender by the way that they post?

    Yep. Some people just take longer than others; that's all.

    lorien1973 you didnt vote?

    I voted sometimes as i have been caught out a few times. It seems to be eaiser to guess their age than their sex.

    There wasn't a poll originally. I just voted yes cuz I'd bet I'm about 4/5 or better if I try to figure it out (usually I don't care - especially these days).

    I find age a ton harder (especially on forums like this, when you have different nationalities).

    Sex is a lot easier. Girls use more !! and ??'s normally. More smileys, are more emotional in their posts, longwinded, etc. Guys are usually a lot more terse and hardly ever punctuate. But there's more than that.

    Age is quite hard to determine I think.

    Just a cursory glance at some of your past posts...I'd have to say girl off the bat. But I only looked at 2-3 pages of posts and I never chatted directly with ya, so I reserve the right to be wrong ;)

    Ninnooo, I will agree 100% with you!! Guys are normally dumb and they just want their presence to be felt. :p

    While girls are intelligent and post to the point and their post normally makes sense!!!!:D
