How would identify a female player guy/girl?

[greekgeek]

I read an entire study on this once, main detail that stuck in my head that actually has helped me spot guy/girl many times, Is that male tend to jump around alot when there moving/bored, were female players dont.

really? huh...that kind of makes sense a lil bit.

I jump around, wear a snazzy suit, cuss out boss fights, and race chocobos.

What.

If that's the case, I'm the manliest creature in the history of online gaming. I jump around all the damn time, often even during fights.

On the other hand, most other players I see must be female.

Same here. If we took that to the 'T' (which we kind of can't) the actual guys in my FC would be female and I'd be the only male o_O

I'd love to know what study this was - just out of genuine curiousity to read it myself o.o I love things like this...

Though, I'm apparently more of a guy than not, by that description o_O
Me: *runs around in circles, jumps in place continuously, jumps around at complete random, maybe swift-cast a holy in mid circle-jumping, proceed to circle or figure-eight till either buggering off someplace or finding a height to climb*

Rest of the FC: *Stands there and stares at the moving derpage*

Only time I'm not running around is if I'm tabbed, chatting, looking at menus or if in a dungeon/raid... I tend to curb that when amongst strangers (....if the tanks take too long to pull, I might spin in place, though...)

FPS habit. Not something I would relate to only males tho, especially these days; but that's where the habit comes from.
Based on chat it's entirely impossible to tell the difference atleast.

With out asking people generally give away their gender in chat. Through family, relationships and gender specific words that can point back using a past reference. Also find since I play with my wife women seem to know each other and group up.

That's what they want you to think.
But on a more serious note: don't generalize peoples attitudes/choice of words based on their gender. I think you'll be plenty surprised.


The only people I ever confirmed to be female were those I heard on voice chat. And in some other cases even with voice chat I could not tell for sure.

I have both in my roleplaying group... And frankly... One I knew from the start from the way he chatted. Guys tend to be more openly lewd or overtly sexual, females will be a bit more low key and subtle but they may laugh or contribute just as much.

Also with roleplayers it skews thing more, but I tend to notice males being more likely to use a lot of different hairstyles... Girls are more likely to try the new hairstyles in changing but tend to stick to one style mainly. Females tend to take a lot more care with their looks, ensuring classy combinations of color and style (they may also be gay men as females, but it's more likely they actually play a guy). Guys are more like complete the set, or go for an outlandish theme like pirate or classy Ninja or sexy cosplay. Girls justvtry to look good and coordinated.

Not a single one of those ''girls preferences'' don't apply to me, and not a single one of those ''guys thingies'' apply to me.
So I guess I'm a girl after all.
Or gay.

Nooooooo stereotypes in there at aaaaaall. Nope.

But I jump around a lot when I'm moving/bored. Didn't know it made me look like a dude.

Oh god. I jump around constantly when I'm bored. Am I secretly a man? My boyfriend is going to be devastated.

Not really, me and my friend use it a lot this, and we are both females (even if our characters are male); i so many times run up and down in front of the house while waiting for DF and she does the same

(edit: but we also don't hide that we are two females playing two male characters)
