How to see age and gender of a CP user? [modified]

MuraliKrishnaP

This is not a cross post. I am trying to see if a user is male/female and their age. Is it possible? Why? If I see a good article from women and kids, I will say "Great, your article is so good, I appreciate it." [Edited] Not that women cannot write good articles. There are very good women programmers. I see them as special as it is very rare from my country. And for the kids who write articles, I feel they are simply great.

Did you know there's all sorts of online dating agencies you can pay to help you meet women in your area ?

Sure, but do they also write nice articles? :laugh:

If you look on a users profile they may mention what gender they are, or if you hang around the forums you might be able to discern the gender of some users. However I find that in most cases reading the persons name is a fantastic clue, a lot of people use their real names around here. Also it seems a little condescending to only comment on how good an article is if it was written by a woman, as if to say it is some kind of surprise that a woman could create a decent article. Still perhaps I'm reading too much into it. For myself I usually don't disclose my gender, however I have my suspicions that it might not be very difficult to figure out.

My current favourite word: Harsh!

Why would their gender matter? I see you are wondering whether they are male of female, but I cannot see how this would relate to the gender? For example, this woman[^] is female, but masculine.

He is probably one of those guys who like to discuss template specialization or loop optimization before they get going :-D

I am sorry, doesn't gender mean the person male or female? OK, I meant if the user is boy or girl.

Many people have quite fluid genders, often changing dependant upon circumstances.

Your sex is Male or Female, your Gender is Masculine or Feminine. There can be feminine men and masculine women. Gender is often misused as a synonym for sex, but this is inaccurate, as I have explained.

You thoughts are very bad. If I see a kids article, I would really love and appreciate it. :-D

Dalek Dave

Really? If you saw an excellent article that really pushed the boundaries, doing things that no-one had ever seen or even thought of, then saw it was done by an 8 year old, wouldn't you think 'Smug Little Bastard!' :)

Don't want to really feel them bad by saying that. But, it really burns somewhere.

Perhaps you are looking for one to wrap your pointer?

Is this harsh? I don't know this sentence. If yes, you are also one of them who took it bad. :) Any way people, I want to complete this. I have two reasons posting this.. 1. I have read many posts regarding univotes. People can give vote 1 without reading completely. This is one of them. 2. I recently read an article posted by 8 year old kid and really surprised. I wanted to see if there are many kids doing this great work.
