Can you tell by looking at the screen name if a poster is a girl or a guy?

    You are utterly mistaken! Buffalo happens to be one of the prettiest, sweetest, kindest, most feminine, extremely attractive female mod in DP :)

    I'm gonna go right out and say that any guy with an avvy depicting a chick probably does not have a gf.

    I think girls tend to think that the poster is a guy, while guys think that the poster is a girl. I don't know...but it's a general view that guys use internet more often than girls plus they are more tech-savvy so 80% of the posters are guys according to me. And it always comes as a surprise when it is revealed that a particular poster was a girl :p

    Its really difficult to know whether the person is guy or girl. Take for instance Buffalo i thought she was a guy.

    From the name, avatar, sig, etc its difficult to know whom your talking to.

    most (not all) of the time

    anime male character = male
    male pic = male
    female parts pic = male
    female pic icon = male
    flower = can also be male these days haha

    female pic from camera with some sort of unique look = female

    Almost all female characters being displayed in the avatar would turn out to be male because none dares to tell others that "I am a girl" (for security reasons:p?) except a very few including the bold and beautiful buffalo. Unless they confess that they are from the fair sex, we have to assume that every one is a guy here:D

    It depends. I can tell many of the girls on the forum. And I was able to tell from the moment I joined that Buffalo was a girl....but that was only because all the guys were following her around....:)
