At least according to my browser history. Check out [this site](http://www.mikeonads.com/2008/07/13/using-your-browser-url-history-estimate-gender/) to see if they’re right about you. For me, the big thing that swung it to my correct gender was my slumming on HGTV, otherwise I’m pretty neutral. ---

100% female. I was hoping to be a big more ambiguous. Damn you, [ACMoore.com](http://ACMoore.com)! I was only looking to buy a glue gun… It’s interesting to read the site info. Amazon is more male than B&N. And REI is way more male than LLBean. I’m most surprised, though, that [monster.com](http://monster.com) and [USAJOBS.gov](http://USAJOBS.gov) are female-weighted. ---

> [@](#): > > Likelihood of you being FEMALE is 59% > Likelihood of you being MALE is 41% Interesting. One factor is that Facebook has a 0.83 M/F ratio – 5 men for every 6 women. That ratio was a bit of a surprise to me. ---

Likelihood of being female: 99% Likelihood of being male: 1% I’m most likely a female. That’s a good thing. I’ve been living like a female for twenty-three years. It would be tough to change now. ---

[QUOTE=Otto] WHy on Earth are you people allowing some random website to data-mine your browser history? [/QUOTE] Because it’s of little to no consequence. From my browser history, you learn I shop at Best Buy, Target, Wal-Mart, and I’m probably a geek (Slashdot). I’d tell you that up-front. Big deal… My credit card company, grocery store, & bank know all that and you can be sure they’re selling that info to advertising databases. ---

Likelihood of you being FEMALE is 13% Likelihood of you being MALE is 87% Well…my driver’s license says I’m female, but I’ve always been such a tomboy that I often feel like a (rather sissy) boy in a girl suit. So that’s probably about right. Probably all those WoW sites. And Fark. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/well-its-official-im-a-female/459172.md?page=2)
