Gender Genie - proof no one can tell

[icarus]

Okay, I am very consistently asked whether I'm a guy or a girl. I tried to keep it private more or less, because I was interested in whether or not people could tell from the stories.

The Gender Genie

According to this, my writing style is:

Skinny Dipping - Male.
A Deserving Man - Male.
Sex, Drugs and Death Eater Rock - Male.
Primer to the Dark Arts - Male.
Guy Talk - Male.
Beg Me For It - hold onto your hats -- Female?
At Fauntleroy & Diagon Alley - Female (not surprising).

So if you haven't been able to tell, well, neither can this program.

Hmmm... I had mixed results with random paragraphs, but my complete stories were female. Very well, then.

I've always thought of you as someone I'd like to take on a date for coffee, regardless of gender. If you insist on keeping it secret, then I suppose we will be wearing paper bags over our heads and giant, shapeless muumuus. I'll remember to bring us both straws.

Sure! It'll have to ice cream however: I despise coffee. Read the above post.

The truth is out, then, so we can dispense with the paper bags and muumuus. Ice-cream sounds divine. You're right about dialog being female and description being male; I noticed the same things when I was testing random paragraphs. In fact, it seems a much more accurate predictor of description and dialog than it does of gender. There might be a market for that somewhere, perhaps in code-breaking, wouldn't you think?

*grins* I look shitty in muumuus anyway, that's the real reason I came forward. Though it did sort of bug me what it mattered to some. *eyebrows raise*

Pick the place and time (so long as it's in the Seattle area. I'm game for ice cream, anytime. ;)

Oh goody! Another long train ride. 59 hours, to be exact. I'm just south of Detroit. Erm, may I look you up if I am ever in the area?

Oh cool! I grew up outside Detroit, north, Union Lake (not far from Pontiac), West Bloomfield. Went to school in Detroit though, east side.

I don't know the downriver area too well. Where are you exactly?
