I’m a bit curious as to what the real life and in-game gender of players is so here’s a poll that I made. Fill it in, don’t fill it in, it’s no biggie, I’m just curious really.

Choose at least 2 options to vote - that makes no sense.

Also, OP give it a rest already.

Of who uses the forum?

EVE is full of men playing characters of both sexes and the forums are dominated by males. You don’t need a poll for that.

Because the first 2 options are your actual gender and the rest are options to say what you play as 😉

Actually, the first 2 are your gender, and the rest are also your gender, plus what gender your characters are.

The first 2 answers are redundant and only 1 response is required to provide the information.

As a result, this is a completely ridiculous situation that is possible because the poll allows this level of illogical result:

Well, having been to eve meetups where there were female players, I was just curious as to how many of them are on the forum really. I thought a poll might be a good way to whether there are any here. Like I said it’s no biggie if you want to vote, vote. If you prefer not to, well that’s okay too.

No this is EVE. You could be Male, masquerading as a Female to infiltrate a corp as a spy while playing both male and female characters. 🤔 😀

I don’t know what ‘gender’ means. Perhaps you are referring to sex?

Actually I flew in a small incursion group for a while, and a real bona fide chick was part of the group. She was our drone bunny.

But I do agree, there aren’t many.

It saddens me to hear some of the reactions when finding out a fellow player is the opposite sex. Some people just refuse to ever grow up i guess…
