As my nickname implies, I am female. Even so, I'm often referred to as "he" in forums, especially when I talk tech. Being the co-founder of a game-development company definitely puts me in the gender-minority right now, but it'll be really fun when I hit it big and all the news writers want to talk about the chick who made a quarter-mill in 2 weeks... - fairlady
Hah! I'm rooting for you, fairlady. I'm rooting for me as well - hey, eventually there will be a whole group of chick App Store millionaires By the way, there are already a few women who have done really well. Eliza Block of 2 Across comes to mind: http://arstechnica.com/journals/apple.ars/2008/08/04/app-store-bringing-in-strong-revenue-for-some-iphone-devs
Thanks. Glad you like the pics, I'll be adding some more this week (but nothing as surreal as the puffer fish). I love digital cameras. I can take lots of photos and get one or two that come out well without it costing a small fortune in film, processing and printing. The puffer fish does look like a monster from another planet. A freakish monster. I took lots of photos of it and those were the best two. Putting the camera on the sand to take the photos gave the best results.
I agree! I am a newbie to TA and it's great to know that I am not alone on here! My name is Candy but even though it's in my username, people still say "dude" or in a reply "that guy" or something. lol. I'm happy to be here! I've been a longtime gamer since back in the day. I don't play as many games as I would like because I have more responsibility, bills, etc but at least I have my beloved new Ipod Touch! Hello to all my fellow sisters on TA!
You are not alone girl! I am 42! I feel kind of strange on some forums because the majority is teen boys but coming here I can see there are some folks here closer to my age and gender I can see!
Welcome Candy! (Well, kinda - 86 posts already) No matter which gender or age - we all have one thing in common: we're iPod/iPod Touch application enthousiasts!
Girls like video games?!?! J/K, I just wish my wife was cool enough to actually participate in the forums... She plays games, but could really care less about them...
this reminds of when i used to play guild wars and I thought my guild leader was a girl (they had a swedish name) for 3/4 months, it was funny
Lolz, just had to quote this. Yes, everyone, we are enthusiasts of IPOD/ITOUCH games ONLY. No Iphone games for you guys. And I think that this thread should be appropriately titled "Females on TA?" due to the fact that most of the "girls" on here are over 25.
I just think of people on the forums as just people. No age, no gender, just people. It simplifies things a bit. Except the he/she situations. I have no way around that Ok. I'm confused. So what's the age majority? Or does that not matter *chuckles nervously* Oh, and awesome to have chicks on the forums. Spices things up a bit (and things need spicing 'round here. pablo and IBITF just aren't doing it )
Hi there! Same here! The TA forums are now my favorite next to the slacker.com ones. Nice to meet everyone guys and girls
Since some guys make pretend they are girls online (Why they do this is beyond anything I can think of), I wonder if some guy here will make up a female profile? I sure hope not. I think the other girls would agree, a lot of "fake" girls are very much noticable as soon as they say something. It's so obvious
