Gender bias

Would you think (just based off my name) I'm a super cool guy that could freak you out into resigning immediately?

I need to confess something.....just partly.....then we can go on from there .......is it just me or does everyone here adjust their game play based on the name of the player......
Because ...In my case.....I play bullet games so......when I see an opponent called....carol...susan....or mary..... for example....I take advantage of the differences in male and female cognitive psychology and adjust my game play accordingly.......let me know if any of you use such tactics...

I think your theory is very interesting. Maybe someone could write a script to analyze games by female sounding usernames and see if there are major play-style differences between the genders. All in all I don't think it will be extremely important. Play-styles being different doesn't necessarily mean they are exploitable.

How do you know their gender just by their name?
