...or do you get halfway through an OP's initial post scratching your head going "Now is this a guy talking about a girl, or a girl talking about a guy, or two girls, or two guys??

I've run into several this week and had to ask. I sorta knew twice, but asked anyway, the third time I was wrong. And from the posts it's pretty obvious it confused other people. As in one thread people refered to the OP as a guy, and some as a girl.

I agree, sometimes it is hard to tell if the OP is male or female, and whether they mean a girl or guy.

What makes it even more confusing, is if you know the OP is of one sex, but then they are talking about someone who is the same sex, and then you start to question yourself whether the OP is what you thought he/she was.

I just assume everyone is talking about sheep and it becomes clear to me.

Does it really matter honestly? Only in a few instances should advice change according to the person's gender.

Some of us are switch hitters. :=)

Yes, I do and I think if you watch closely you may recognize some familiar posters writing styles in the posts...Many "new" posters are not new at all...

Mainly, I just read through some of these posts with the most screwed up situations and I just have to thank the gods that I am normal.
