Since 1996 I've seen so few gals post here on Dave's; I was just wondering what the actual split is...I suspect 85% Male, and 15 % Female.It's a bit hard to tell with some of the names used.

how do you know...how can you "see"? this is supposed to be an anonymous forum...

maybe women don't want to be known as women when they post...


basically, here and in another thread, you PRESUME there are no women posting...

WOW, people are just rearing to jump on each other around here Shocked

I've been in China for a while and have seen very few female FT so i guess there would be fewer females on this board as well.

However since we all post using usernames its not immediatley obvious whether 'Namdak' for example is male or female. I think its relatively easy to guess though, you're female right?

And WW is male...

and Kev7161, there's no need to be so graphic

How do you know what you have "seen"?

Basically, it's none of your business...and it should not be important

Many women post...I repeat to you what I said to the OP

????? Are women FTs dressing like men in China now?

I know/have known plenty of female foreign teachers but I've never met a single person who posts on daves

Calm down Namdak...you COULD show just a tad of respect for me...but that is so un-western or un-modern,isn't it? My point is quite valid,but then again you're new to this forum. Don't be a new-it-all.
