F^4 What gender are you? Not a pickup thread ;)

[Capt Buttkick]

Hey, I'm happily married so that's NOT why I ask!
Just thought it would be interesting to see the m/f ratio. I've got a feeling there are a lot more girls/women playing Civ than any other game I've played.

 

[Yndy]

IIRC last poll on General Discussions showed a 13-15% women. But it might be different in the GOTM community.
I'm male BTW...

and married ...

happily ...

My female co-workers are sad about that ...

*"bullsh*t!" says the crowd*.

 

[ControlFreak]

Married..with kids and happy nonetheless.

I have no female coworkers.

 

[Capt Buttkick]

lol
Could someone explain what IIRC means btw?

 

[mudfoot]

Also male. No females on the forum as yet it seems

Saw it a couple of times today, so I googled for it and what I conclude it must mean is: If I Recall Correctly

 

[Capt Buttkick]

Thanks mudfoot. I tried guessing instead of googling, not very succesful...

 

[Moonsinger]

Only 1 female so far, that must be me. I'm happily married too. No kid yet, but we are working on that. Now, you see why I don't have much time to play Civ lately.

 

[alamo]

Oh no, commodified will be disappointed.

Suprise - more boys than girls.

 

[a space oddity]

.. and now there are 2. I already have kids, so lots of time play civ...
Seriously though they are 10 and 7 now so they are starting to do things by themselves, so free time is on the increase .

 

[Xevious]

We're both computer junkies, spending most nights online after the kids go to bed. Can't seem to get her interested in Civ though. Or Ultima Online, the other game I play. She plays Heroes of Might and Magic, (if you can call it playing, she uses the cheat codes ).

 

[CdB]

Male - married & 4 kids - very limited time to play

 

[mabellino]

Female (well duh!) living with civ hating partner... although he might come around eventually!

If I recall correctly, IIRC

 

[rabies]

Male - married - 1 kid - 1 kid on the way. (due in sept).

 

[SirPleb]

I've often been asked what planet I'm from. But I do seem to be biologically compatible as a human male.

 

[CruddyLeper]

Although male, I was mistaken for female in the chat room.

The reason? Because I could understand the install instructions for GOTM!

I had to laugh.

 

[zagnut]

In the poll results there is one entry for "Self Producing Alien Entity". Is that cracker??????

 

[Renata]

Female number four checking in.

Why...whatever do you mean moonsinger?
When the wife and i got pregnant last time....it only took about 3 minutes...and i was right back onto my civ gaming!

 

[JonathanValjean]

I am male, along with most of the others here.
