Also, a lot of people pretend to be female on this board for traffic or to be popular. I thought I was good enough as a webmaster where I did not NEED to use sex appeal or my looks for anything in this business. I also did not want guys flirting or hitting up on me. I hate females who pretend to be cute and say "ooh, who wants to give me PA Accounts, hugs and kisses!" etc. I don't need handouts or extra favors from anyone. I also didn't want attention from anyone. I wanted to be "neutral". Not interested in getting attention from anyone or have anyone be extra nice to me for that reason.

If I admitted I was a female most people would not have believed me anyways since lots of MEN are known to pretend to be females on here. So I didn't see the point, didn't want the attention plus I am not the nice female who likes to flirt or get attention from men. I like to be left ALONE.
