I'm female, though people on here are forever calling me dude, and bloke. There doesn't seem to be too many girls in the african cichlid section anymore, which is where I usually hang out.
Hmmm perhaps bars, pubs, and clubs are not the best ways to meet a gentleman these days. Perhaps the Friendly Fish forum may be a better place. Guys out-number us nearly 2 to 1.
Female, though I have also been mistaken for a male and have been called bloke, mate, dude, and even sir. Thank goodness, though, the "sir" was not here.
