OK, I’ve got to ask this and hopefully it won’t sound too stupid. So, I’m not the sharpest knife in anyone’s back but I just don’t understand this – never have. How does everyone know what sex everyone else is ? I’m beginning to think I must just amble around missing the blindingly obvious. Mr Bloody Magoo of cyber space. Obviously some user names are fairly strongly male or female and the gay folks aren’t too shy about saying “I’m gay” so that sorts some of the ambiguities for me but a lot of the time, I don’t have a clue. How are you all sorting the wood from the furnace and am I the only one who suffers from this affliction ? \\ ---

> [@](#): > > DRY + Hamadryad ('cause they are both funny and sensitive) While I appreciate the compliment, I would be willing to bet that this would make DRY none too happy. This is, of course, completely conjectural and based only on what I’ve read…but I think I’m far too abrasive. Besides which, I’m pretty sure I’m the only chick on here with whom DRY **hasn’t** flirted, so I’m doing something wrong in that area as well. And I refuse to make any crush or laminated lists, so that automatically leaves me off of his. Ratfarts. Regarding the OP, the only couple-matches I can think of are all really remarkably bitchy, and I’d really rather not let the Crimson-Eyed Beast out of my head. I’ve kept her in check (for the most part) since I started posting, and it would be dangerous - nay, **apocalyptic** if I let her out now. ---

I want to match with someone. But, I guess, no one have the same style as me… I think I’m alone on that one, don’t know if that is bad or good…😉 ---

[hijack]L\_C: Good question … now that I think about it, I haven’t the foggiest idea how I do it. But I can’t remember being wrong more than a couple of times. (One of these was the infamous Notthemama, which suggests that it’s a matter of paying attention to what people say rather than instinct. The other – and yes, this was a LONG time ago – was Drain Bead. Even _after_ I figured out she was female, I kept picturing her as slightly butch, with short blond hair and a strong interest in auto repair.) And I’d say that my own username is about as gender-neutral as you can get, but only rarely has anybody mistaken me for a male. Of course, now that I’ve spent several minutes thinking about it, I’m beginning to doubt my abilities. (I just checked your profile in order to confirm that you were, in fact, male – something I had never had the slightest doubt about an hour ago.) Kinda like that poor centipede who was never able to walk again after somebody asked him how he figured out which foot went first. Damn… ---

**Mojo** , your grievous sin against humanity has been noted and your punishment, ending in almost certain annihilation via a slow and beyond excruciatingly painful method, is being prepared. **Anniz** , jag bor inte i Sverige, jag är amerikansk. Men min morfarsfar kom från Sverige i 1800-talet och jag lärade litet svensk från morfar (och mera från böcker). Morfarsfar född i Stockholm men hans förfader kam från en liten by som kallas Ramnered i Bohuslän. Så, Amaryllis min lilla, skall vi gå till “Tre Remmare” och ha litet brännvin? 😃 ---

**Olentzero** , visst, jag är inte den som säjer nej till brännvin. Sill, potatis och nubbe, yes.😃 Du fixar Svenskan jättebra, jag är imponerad, har du någon kontakt med någon släkting här? Har du varit till Sverige någon gång? Om inte, så skulle du göra det. ---
