Professor T
Congratulations on your 1000th post.

That is interesting that you've taken some sustained care never to say out loud. Have you been planning this thread from the very beginning?

Anyway, if we're all guessing, I think you're a gentleman. And it will have to be a test of my intuition, because I can't give any specific reason like the one that Tiggs gave.

Thanks..

No I havn't been planning this thread from the very beginning, but thought it would be a good Idea for my 1000th post and also a great fun way to test the intuition of the collective UM community..

When I first joined up and when it came to selecting gender I thought, no, I'm going to leave that blank.. Reason being that it was a unique oportunity to engage with other people on a level keel. That's not to say that I feel that males or females are not equal. Because I feel that we are all equal regardless of Gender.. The reason why I left it blank was because I thought it would be interesting to have an outlet where my idea's, thoughts & opinions would be without any bias one way or another, and that things like idea's, thoughts & opinions shouldn't be labeled as being from a male or female source.

From then-on-in it's actually been quite difficult hiding my gender from some of of my responses to peoples questions.. I actually think that some people were actually prying to find out my gender..

I think Professor T is a female. No particular reason...just a hunch.

So I'll be first, and spend my 1000th post here..

Guess my gender, and tell me why you think you are right..

male cuz your profile pic alien is ugly and a female would have chosen a more flattering depiction of a grey

Horray!

Finally some more female intuition..



But the numerical odd's are still stacked against the Females and favoring the Males.

I suspect all members, who's gender is unspecified, are Daleks.

What's a Dalek?

Google "Dr. Who".

BTW Professor T, you are going to tell us eventually, right?

So I've noticed that some UMers have left a blank space in Gender, myself included..

• So here is your oportunity to see if other users can guess your gender and come clean.

• Or an oportunity to explain why you've chosen to be Gender: Not Selected..

• And an oportunity for everyone else to test their Intuition based on knowing the fellow UMer or take a stab at it based on choice of Avatar ect...

If you are wondering why I placed this under Philosophy and Psychology it's because the emphasis is on intuition.. But that's no reason not to have fun with this..

I don't think gender is important except to your mate or if you want to be a CEO since 90% are men LOL.  I think men are more likely to post male, it's a guy thing. We all have female and male traits and I bet some post opposite of what they really are. I wanted to make the statement I don't care what you or anyone else is it's the thoughts that count!

Yes, ofcourse I will come out of the closet..

I might leave this going for a bit longer though because the demographics aren't very fare.

So far, 14 Males v's only 6 Females have responded..

Actually I wonder if you or Saru could let us know what the Um user Gender mix is here?

The only conclusion I can come up with so far is that Males are quite happy to take a stab at using their intuition, and Females don't.

Well, my guess is male. Only because I think that you said you made your Grey counterpart out of fibreglass. Only a guy, I think, would spend all that time and energy to build something so gloriously useless. Women tend to be more practical, I think.

I dunno, I think.

Edit: Congrat's on your 1000th, also to JGirl for her 4,000th. (Psst. also because women are more proficient at posting).

Do you think males are generally considered more seriously than females? That their opinions are held in a higher authority than a females?

I can't speak for everyone, but I don't feel or think that way at all.

I think you are male, reading by your energy. It's less masked in your art work

[sarah_444]

I've always just assumed you (Professor T) were male. Actually I didn't even notice you hadn't selected a gender until reading this thread. That's my hunch, not really based on anything specific..just what I get from reading your posts.

Okay maybe the "T" nickname has something small to do with it, like Left Field mentioned. I think it would be a more common type nickname for a male.

Perhaps he/she has not yet decided on their dominant gender.
