I just never talk about my information in game and almost at all time silently playing. So, up to their imagination, I guess.
Nope. My profile info says male and "what you see is what you get" No point in it, since I might have to clarify later if I ever make a friend online.
Gokigen'you... I pretended to be the opposite gender several times out of curiosity for how long I can keep my pretending work. Both MMO and forums... After my experience with it I came to conclusion that there are no males and females in internet, only net-lurkers.
When I’m on some place online, ppl just often mistake me for a guy. I mostly don’t correct them jus’ to see how it play out. *shrug* But I let them think what they wanna think.
I had a similar experience on a different chat thing. There were interesting/fun conversations that I wanted to join, but I noticed that whenever someone said they were a girl they'd get bombarded with attention and/or harassment or requests for boob pics and the whole interesting conversation would get buried and forgotten. So even when the question came up I just stayed silent and let people assume I was a guy. The ironic thing is, later on I found out that saying "yes, I'm a girl" was the best way to pretend to be a guy on that chat because nobody would believe you. They'd only respond with something like: "yeah I believe you, you're definitely a G.I.R.L., guy in real life lol" or "at least put more effort into faking it". They would only believe the over-the-top imitations of cutesy girls with sparkly pink type avi's (who usually turned out to be guys). The internet is weird.
i think that there is an argument for gender performance theory, as misinterpreted as it has been lately. People believe in girly acting rather than real. Although I'm also pretty sure that some of the "skepticism" was merely a cover to ask the person in question to "prove" it with pics
Hmmm, well they certainly did ask, but they didn't ask with much enthusiasm so I got the feeling it was just going through the same motions as always, and nothing to do with actually expecting to get any pics.
hey, if someone told you there was a diamond in a small hill of hay, even if you might be discouraged from your 100th empty handful, you'll still resentfully keep searching! you underestimate the thirst! not to mention not seeming interested is reverse psychology on the level of negging ;p
Rather, I don't try to act the opposite gender, people just assume and I rolled with it cause I didn't feel the need to correct with them. It was funny to watch sometimes though
Have you pretended to be the other sex online? Yes, I'm male, and there's no way I'd ever do that! What is the interest? Play a female character on game for fun ?
