"Sex: " Field


Recommended Posts

It's hard to tell on neowin if the person that your posting to is male or female, which makes things very confusing when being careful what you say to other members, this is confusing me constantly, so can we just make things easier by being able to put a "Sex: " field under "Location: ", configurable in the preferences (perhaps a dropdown menu with "Male", "Female", "Undisclosed(default)" and "Other(I've seen 'other' on other boards and it's very funny :D)"?

No. That would encourage members to treat a member based on their gender.

Pfft. What am I saying. You guys already do that.... :rolleyes:

It's funny that you poped up in this thread, because honestly (im being really honest here), when I joined neowin, I thaught that "Keldyn" was a Girls name, no offense but it's true and I hope that you dont get mad or anything.

I personally wouldn't treat someone differently in respect to saying something like "Come here sexy", it's just that i feel silly when I refer to somone as a "he" when half the time it could be a "she"

besides, if sexist remarks are made, the "sex: " field could always be removed to how it is presently.

well that's pretty much my whole opinion about it.

If you add a 'Sex' field you will need to create a new class (in addition to m/f) for a me and presumably a few other members around here :whistle:

aco: All the women here flaunt their gender as far as you know, it might be just me, but I'm pretty sure that there are more than 10 girls on neowin.

sphere: I suggested "perhaps a dropdown menu with "Male", "Female", "Undisclosed(default)" and "Other(I've seen 'other' on other boards and it's very funny :D)" so your covered in my idea :p

oh and if default is selected(undisclosed), than the "Sex:" field shouldn't display at all and their profile would be as it is now (Y)

Waiting for someone to suggest a "Sex: Yes please" option... :rolleyes:

LOL

wouldn't be hard to do from a coding standpoint but you can at time tell if there a boy/girl by the way they act

I think if your nick doesn't make it clear what sex you are (females tend to use a more 'feminine' name--no offense at all intended), and you really want to flaunt it, then just stick it in your sig or something. :)

Come on! There are so few females on the board it wouldn't even be useful :p

but what I'm saying is how would you know that if it's never asked, I guess that there are at least 50 neowin regulars that we never knew were female, my sister being one of them.

Would you really want the guys here knowing the poster was your sister or what sex she is Quick Reply? ;)

This is the only forum I have seen that doesnt have the sex of the poster.

Something worth adding.
