I think it's cute how you refer to a "she"

She said she had a husband. Chances are its a girl and not a gay guy

EDIT: And in an interesting turn of events, the poster is actually a gay guy

I still stand by making assumptions, even though they were wrong here.

>As a dude who has consumed copious amounts of semen from a significant amount of other dudes, including vegans, most dudes jizz tastes bad. I don't think many people are gobbling it down because it tastes good. ---- From his user history. Definitely gay dude.

You can mark something as a quote by putting > in front of it. It would make your comment seem a little less.. spontaneous.

On reddit, it's far more likely to be a gay dude.

Are you serious? If you told me you got hit on the way to work today id say "what kind of car were they driving" because statistically you're more likely to be hit by a car than a bus/train/airplane (yet those three things exist).

If a poster says theyre married to a guy and looking to have their mother move in soon, chances are its a heterosexual couple and the poster is a girl. It would be stupid to assume anything else. I guess we could all go and stop assuming, but that seems like a lot of effort

Assumptions are, by nature, stupid. Especially when it comes to gender.

Your analogy is just as flawed as hearing someone lives in Colorado or Washington and they smoke leads to assuming marijuana.

No. because statistically there are more tobacco smokers than marijuana smokers in both of those states. Nobody would ever make that assumption

as I said.... you were wrong.... I was technically right. THE BEST KIND OF RIGHT!

I upvote you for the character required to reference the knowledge of this, as it turns out, NOT being female.

However, I then downvote you because perving peoples history is tantamount to stalking as far as I am concerned.

But there may be consolation prizes on your way out. ;-)

No; assumptions, without any basis of fact, is stupid.

If I walked into my office wet, it would be a reasonable assumption that it's raining outside. There could be other explanations (busted fire hydrant, wet T-shirt competition, etc.), but on the basis of probability, rain is the most likely and reasonable assumption because it happens most often compared to the other alternatives.

Similarly, when someone says "I have a husband", it is a reasonable assumption that that someone is a "she", because heterosexual marriages greatly outnumber homosexual ones.

where is it indicated that it's a male?

you back the fuck up already, bitch!

One says SHE and there is no gender for the poster mentioned so I call bullshit. Some OTHER genius tries to substantiate the gender assumption so I asked nicely for proof.

Then you stick your greater internet fuckwad thought into the mix just as incorrectly as the other two.

At NO point did I even imply the "correct" gender assumption was male or female.

Check your six before being a dick.

And this is cute because you seem to think that ANY post at all is addressing you... so in your mind you are entitled to chime in.

Silly mortal.... this behavior will result in many painful wedgies once you finally make it to middle school.

I ask for proof, but you bring me, "more than likely"?

Which is true here?

  1. You don't know the difference between fact or fiction?
  2. You are just refusing to admit you were wrong and shouldn't have opened your wrong spewing mouth in the first place?
