I've tried using that one before. Someone told me I'm a guy until they see pictures. I just replied that I am 99% sure they are a woman and that they need to send me pictures to prove me wrong.
I've never understood why people feel that I need to prove which gender I am, yet feel no need to prove which gender they are.

So yes, I'm a girl playing EVE and proud of it - now when are we getting customizable ship war-paint? 
I agree - if CCP wants more girl players they need to add in the ability to customize our ship colors/paintjobs

Not really sure why some of us men act like asshats when we recognize we're talking to a woman.
Some I'd chalk up to being teenage boys, and treating the game as a type of online dating service, fapping to their skimpy Gallente alts on the side. Others are probably just not used to much female contact in the game, considering its like 20:1 men to women at last count, and you're somewhat anonymous on the internet.

Hehe think he meant '..how many women..'
As for an answer to that question, you'd be surprised... I know quite a few women who have made and are still are playing a male toon. I for one have toyed with the idea but dismissed it mostly on two grounds:
1. I don't like the male toons in most of the games I've played - they always seem too clunky and just not as well designed as the female characters.
2. If you play a female toon most people are bright enough to consider that you might be a dude playing a girl, or a girl playing a girl - if you play a male toon everyone will automatically assume you are MALE.

This is for charming wanderer...who seems to have been very very disgusted with my answer to a previous question...
". BUT I think since there's two girls you need to ask them for a pic each to post on this forum so we can all rate them :)"
And for the reply ...
WTF @ that... It is crap like that right there that makes women stay away from EVE. How bout you post a pic of yourself so we can rate you?
Ok well first off sorry for offending you, and second im not some weirdo perv who tries and picks up girls on eve and hoping that by creating this post I could get girs to post pics of them selfs! I made this to just see what people had to say about it and it was actually very interesting, and if a few girls did post their pics then good for them id totally rate them ha ha. Anyways heres me, I'm 22 not an old fat dude and i do things out side my computer ;)

Sorry to offend "most" of you, but it's true that man (mostly arround 20~25) act like little children if they find out you are a girl
lil' story about something that happend to me once:
When I just started I was asking alot of things on the rookie chat because of the complexity of this game (for me, it was complex)and some-1 recognized I was a girl, he sent me an ingame mail, we talked for a bit in private chat. I didn't even knew him for a week or so and he started to ask for picture's..
I don't know what it is for men to have picture's of a woman who is like 1000 km away from your hometown, I mean, I dont ask boys for pictures of themselves, do I? :-P.
It's not that boys are irritating for girls in this game, most are very friendly all the time! (that is one of the many reasons why I play this game =]).
I also think most of the girls which are playing already have a boyfriend, so there is not really a reason to ask for picca's
Well I hope you understand what I mean :P
Cheers,

Most people who answer newbie questions will answer one or two and then go do whatever they're busy with. They're not there to mentor you or anybody.
See, you guys chat to socialize, we regard "chatting" as mentoring you, especially if lots of questions are mixed into the chit-chat. In his mind, the pictures were his reward for all that time spent babysitting you. In your mind, the entire EVE community is required to train newbies and answer questions, otherwise how else are new people going to be able to join, learn, and play the game?
But we don't owe anyone anything. CCP didn't build in a good newbie experience, shrug, not our problem.
See the difference in thinking?

Yes, they do, but you're not helping matters. I'm afraid I must invoke XKCD on this issue...

I promoted a woman to co-leader in the few years I GM'd an endgame guild in that other game.
And we had a female member in the corps up until recently that was very active and vocal about all corporate matters, and any regular conversations.
However, even within my own corporation, it was sometimes a case of those ... awkward teenage boys realizing, OH NOZ A GIRL /o\ HOW DO I ACT WHAT DO I SAY?!
It was amusing, she nonchalantly announced that she was a girl in passing during a convo when only a few of us were around. Being the mostly rational and respectable man that I am, I took it with a grain of salt, made note of it in my mind, and moved on.
A few days later, one of the younger male members of the corps logged on, and again, the topic came up one way or another, that she was a girl. His immediate response was to go "Yer a girl?" and then ten minutes of silence when she said, "Indeed." Every time after that, he was constantly and awkwardly hitting on her, praising her veteran EVE knowledge in a naive and peevish manner, and she took it with grace and just kind of ignored it, you know how it is.
She struck a perfect balance IMO with that particular member (kept him at arm's length like an overzealous puppy), but in light of that it still does not matter what they do, how they do it, or what they say, and how they say it, girls get the short end of the stick in most MMOs because they are considered by the majority of males to be in "our private clubhouse". Kind of like if the cops are called on a rowdy poker party of all males, and it is a female cop who knocks on the door, what is the first thing they are gonna think when they answer the door? It's an unfortunate reality, TBH.
Most of the time, they can handle themselves just fine, but there are occasions where you need to step in and be like, "Hey, give me a break, she isn't your personal play toy, she's just another player in an online game like the rest of us, leave her be or I'll smash your face."
So, when the OP asked, like so many other males have throughout MMO history, "pictures or it never happened", then you should prolly feel free to step in with the obligatory "Silence! I keel you!", otherwise I'm fairly certain that women who play MMOs can take care of themselves just fine

I mentor new players because I enjoy doing it, and secondarily because sometimes they turn out to become really skilled pilots that can help me out when I get in trouble.
If I'm mentoring some player who turns out to be female, and she decided to reward me with pics, that'd be okay with me (depending on how cute she is, of course), but I'd really prefer her to instead "reward" me by just "passing it on", in that once she has become an experienced pilot, she in turn teaches and mentors new players.
Same as with the modest 150k ISK donation I give to noobs. Don't pay that back to me. Pay it forward instead.

Eh ...
I don't care.
If they're chicks ... fine ... they're chicks. Mostly I try and treat them with the same level of consideration and mistrust as I would anyone else in this game.
However, I don't necessarily believe it when someone says they're a chick. Some guys will do that so people will be nicer to them. There were even a couple of 12 year old boys over at Planetside who posted pictures of their cute - older (like 18) - neighbors, saying that that was them. I don't remember how they dealt with teamspeak.
I also have in mind the picture I saw once of some big, fat, hairy, naked dude sitting in a chair in front of his computer with a caption that indicated he was pretending to be a chick. The picture was posted as a joke but ... that didn't mean it wasn't real.
Now - for those girls wondering why men ask for pic's - the above is one reason. They don't want some fat, hairy, guy to be tricking them. But, as above that - pic's mean - NOTHING. That chick that held up the guys name above with the web cam - could - have been the real posters girl friend or sister. Even voices aren't a guarantee. Of course the other reason they want a pic - is that if you're an ugly chick they aren't going to want to talk to you either.
Anyway, I tend to assume that they are all male regardless of what they say. Since I don't treat them any differently - it doesn't freaking matter.
Given the amount of lying and scamming that goes on in this game why would I believe anything anyone said about anything?
Yeah. I'm sure that there are real chicks playing EVE. So? What do I care? Last I checked ... I was here to play a space ship game ... not get a date. If I was after a date ... I think I'd go somewhere that had a slightly higher ratio of chicks.
Russian Brides maybe? Or maybe not ... looks like there's a few scams there ...
Although ... I do know a guy IRL which that did work out for ...

first honest-to-god encounter with a female podpilot ended me in a pod escaping to empire from a lost Abaddon to an expertly-piloted Zealot.
I eventually was recruited by the same alliance and later found out the same pilot was a woman.
I was flabbergasted.
