    Male/Female CheckBox?

    Does anyone think this is a good idea? I'm quite embaressed about thinking people are the opposite gender over and over and over. Just a little checkbox in the profile would be handy. As some people have names that can be either gender.

    Some people I'm even curious about weather they are a dude or a dudette. It seems rude to ask, though. Hey, are you a girl or a boy?

    Just a suggestion.

    oh, you'll know it soon or sooner. may be good idea but I've seen some profiles (like lv4dogs') that tells you people her/his gender.

    or you can ask me which is boy or girl, I think I know almost all genders - most people post their real names here. but of course, I won't tell you if I'm not sure!

    just ask me if you want to.

    I don't think it's necessary. As Karen said, you could always ask. It's not as if you're able to see us all. The only thing you have to go by is our real name and/or our username. I've had a couple people ask me before because I have a name that could be for either gender, and I didn't find it weird as there wasn't really any way for them to know.

    I'm not bothered by not knowing. I usually assume the person is a girl/woman unless they say otherwise. I think if a person really cares that people know their gender, they'll tell *you*. I wouldn't be bothered by having a checkbox, but, I don't think it's necessary, either.
