Gender and Age of Zoochatters

[nanoboy]

25 year old female. I wonder what the ethnic makeup of zoochatters is.

Don't just wonder: create a poll!

Male 13 is my answer

It just occurred to me why is there no option for those who do no consider themselves as either gender? Or is it really for sex and not gender?

 

[dunstbunny]

female, and nearing the age where women who are concerned about apes start to get weird

 

[betsy]

I can relate dunstbunny.

 

[Slothie]

21, Female. Though I'm a bit too late for the poll!

 

[wensleydale]

What about Zochatters who don't feel they fit into traditional western gender definitions?

 

[Mikezoo12]

13 and male

 

[Macaw16]

Starting up an old thread but, 13 Male. Am I the youngest on here now?

 

[savethelephant]

Don't worry Macaw16, I'm in your boat.

female ... 39 ( 40 in a week )

Surprised there are so many under 20 men, and I'm surprised there's such a large gender disparity considering how many chicks are into biology. Anyway, 21 and female over here.

I predict women are more likely to enjoy and relate to sociable animals such as great apes, and men to fierce creatures such as big cats and wolves.

Why? That just seems like tired gender stereotyping to me.

I agree. Sounds like just pure assumption for both sexes. I'm a 25 year old female and I prefer to spend my time with anything but apes/monkeys or in the case of pets...ANYTHING but dogs. I do however love birds (I own a very attached sun conure) and cetaceans (although not all are extremely sociable). I love to be around larger animals. I feel very uncomfortable around small animals sometimes, even my conure. It's a lot harder to accidentally bump or hurt a horse or dolphin, lol! The power of large animals attracts me, as does their capability to be so gentle around their caretakers (I'm mostly amazed by large cetaceans so clearly being docile, as it would be very easy for them to accidentally injure a human.) The bigger the better. It triggers a sense of respect and vulnerability in me when I encounter large predators or other strong animals.

Apes fit that catagory, but honestly they're just too human-like for my tastes.

I don't know how your prediction plays out in reality for the general population, but it's definitely not true for me. I'm a man, and I identify far more with orangutans than with wolves.

Additionally, I doubt these kinds of baseless stereotyping predictions are going to win you much support or praise on this site.

I'll grab my fedora when you smash that glass ceiling thx

Truth be told I don't mind that ZooChat is largely male, it keeps the site from turning into an episode of what I call "mommy club."

I rather like reptiles. Large ones like Alligators are my favorite, oddly though I have an irrational fear of being eaten by a giant snake, like say an African Rock Python.

Apart from the comments above, I'm not even sure what this has to do with this thread.
