I'm a girl. How exciting.

I'm with u on that 1

I'm a girl.

"Almighty Uterus" quote from robo-chick, ep 'the deep end'

Do I appear to be a guy?
Girls will eventually take over the forum. It's a fact! [/jk]

I'm a dude!

but i think its great we have such a healthy number of both guys AND girls on the forum!!

Fangirls + Fanboys... UNITE. *random power-rangers pose*


Pew Pew.

Farewell.

I am male. Wow, alot of female's on here compared to male's.

Although I tend to act like a male most of the time, I am 100% biologically female...lol

I'm a girl, though Im usually rebeling against the "proper girl" idea.

@ehxhfdl14: Im with you on that but I think thats called being a tomboy.

I'm a girl, but constantly mistaken for a guy XD
And not just on the internetz either.... Yep, I've had people in real life ask if I was a girl or boy >_>

I'm a girl,and proud dangit!

I wonder how difficult it is to tell my gender...

Male...lol hells yea.

there are more girls than guys...

we out number you guys, funny I thought it would be the other way around.

I always knew there were more female FMA fans than male >_>

well, i'm female. :D

it's still not certain that there are more fan girls though. :)

Whoa, cool! We might have FMA forum domination.

wow...I can almost see a fan-girl cat fight...




I'm a boy btw.

I'm a girl, obviously .

I am girl!!
YAY Girl power!!! XD!!

Girls are in the lead! *dances*

I am a boy.

I'm a guy. There seem to be quite a lot more girls on this forum though.

I'm a doode

Male.

I'm amazed in seeing more females than males here.

Im not, it just seems like girls are more expressive of their opinion on anime

I'm female.

Well it's nice to know that out of about 472 "pollers"? there are still a fair amount of guys . ^^

I'm a female, as you guys may have noticed if you look further onto the left of the screen. ^^

Last I checked: male.

I've never really thought about this, but thinking back on it; people I've talked to, fansites, ZOMGFTA, all kinds, are all mostly female folk.
Hell, I was surprised the manga was written by a woman.

I blame the RoyxRiza people. That seems to be fangirl bait.

The women are taking over! D: Run for your lives!



Not very likely, there are guys who root for that pairing as well. In my experience here, most of the girls I met are either ok with or entirely in love with shounen-ai/yaoi. The fact that FMA has so many male characters and very little female (In comparison) is probably the reason why there are so many girls instead of boys here . . . It's a yaoi gold mine!

I'm a guy and I'm rather fond of the pairing (see avatar).

Most of the people that make up my family (especially on my mom's side whom I'm closer too) are women so I've grown accustomed to their likes/dislikes as well as them telling me on how to/not to treat a woman (yes, I'm straight. We good?).

As for the whole RoyxRiza pairing, it has aspects that remind me of Mulder & Scully from the X-Files - two people who are professional, but care very much for the other without crossing the line into a clichéd romance (despite the fact that they do fall in love - but that's not until far later into the series). I'm more fond of a romance like that rather than one that's based on obsessive tendencies.

I'm quite comfortable admitting that (no need to hide behind some macho manly-mask, we're all friends here) and I couldn't care less if some people think it's weird.

NO GIRLS ON MY INTERNETS! YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE LAPTOPS OR MACS (girls can't use PC's) IN THE KITCHEN OR LAUNDRY ROOM ANYWAY.

There's that too.

AND NO! NO GIRLS ALLOWED UP IN MY TREEHOUSE EITHER!!!

Aw, you two are so mean~!

I'm female and YES! girls exist on your internet too! *evil laugh*

Mercy_Alchemist94, why girls should like yaoi/s-ai or watch shounen manga because of it? I don't like it (it=yaoi/s-ai), I'm not a homophobe or something but I'm not enjoying this

Well, I said "Most of the girls I met" not "All" . . . You are one of the few who don't enjoy yaoi/shounen ai. And I also didn't say that was the sole reason why the girls I met read FMA. (Though I didn't make it clear that I didn't think that was the reason, I apologize.)

This seems quite plausible. I think a similar thing happened with Kenshin.

Kale Mustang: I don't mean to imply that everyone who likes pairings is female, but I find the majority are.
Although weirdly enough when I saw your avatar I did automatically assume you were female. >_<

No worries on both ends, I could see that being implied a mile away.

The thing with the avatars though is that most people hide behind them and I could've said the same thing about your avatar but I'm also someone who never assumes anything unless it's admitted. (This avatar gets me in good standing with the RoyxRiza fangirls though )

But yeah, I'd go out on a limb and say that the most vocal fans - regarding anything that has a potential to have pairings - will be mostly female. At the same time though, when enough fans can congregate in one area, it's easier to see the breakdown of the male/female ratio regarding a pairing but that's the thing - there will always be male fans, just in smaller numbers.

I'd say that the beauty of series-specific sites, as well as conventions or group meetings, is that all fans can get together and just talk about everything and anything.

Lol. Girls own this forum =D Sorry guys...
I love to see guys here (*hugs Kale*).
Still it's strange. FMA is a shounen and shounen are made for boys...

I've never liked the whole shounen/shoujo thing. I've never seen an anime or manga that has entirely girls or entirely boys, it's always a mix. So saying this manga is made for girls is a bit stupid because there's going to be a boy that likes it, and because of the title of shoujo they might be worried to admit it. (Though the same can't be said for the girls, no one really looks down on girls for liking "things for boys".)

Sorry, probably bored you with a rant. >.<

(Yay! My first post in this thread!) cough

I myself am a girl, but people who know me personally, when confronted, would immediately classify me as a tomboy. Contrary to Kale's life-story, I'm a girl who grew up with a bunch of guys.. (and my mom, but c'mon... you know what I mean). That being said, I tend to lean more towards guy type stuff- like sports, clothing trends, video games, etc., etc. This of course includes shounen anime and/or manga. I absolutely _despise_ shoujo, yaoi, and all that not jazz. I'm not trying to disprove your theory Mercy Alchemist- in fact, I think it's very plausible since I myself know so many crazy (that's an understatement, by the way) anime fans who fit that sterotype. I'm just trying to state I'm an exception to that.

Wow... I'm surprised there's actually a fair number of males here.

I'm female.

Add another mark for the female part, because I'm female ^^

Although...many people [both online and offline] think I'm a guy. Online people think this due to how I act, which isn't usually how a girl would probably act. You know...vocal about stuff, tough, etc. Or if the site doesn't have a gender option to show what I am, they think I'm male.

As for offline, I have short hair [like...short. Well it's growing out now but still, it's short] and wear baggy shirts that don't really show that I am in fact female.

Also...I don't fit under the stereotype of being a female anime fan that just loves shojo. I love shojo, yes, but I also love shonen as well. [As well as yaoi, but also yuri as well. I can't discriminate really.]

I'm a girl.

Though i don't really act like one much. I have a few girly traits.. don't really like to show them though.

Wow, there's almost 100 more girls than guys. o.O Or maybe the guys just forgot to vote or didn't find this thread
I don't know if people can tell if I'm a girl or not when I'm online except when I have my fangirl moments

add a point to the female side cause that is what i am.

Whoa there are loads of girls here, I'm surprised, maybe FMA is really just popular with girls?

I'm a girl, too. I feel like maybe FMA is MORE popular with girls.
Even though it's a shonen manga.

surprisingly quite a lot of guys around, lol on the other forum i go to its like 90% girls XD

female here...xD
