How to tell a Girl from a G.i.r.l

There are usually subtle giveaways. I.e. They behave far differently than most girls would.
I don't really have that many examples. I jus thought this'd be a fun topic.
How do [i]you[/i] tell the difference?

Usually,
When they are wearing really OP gear, when they have a girl android, and if they have a really pretty char.
Or.. you can just ask if they're a G.I.R.L. LOL

These comments are quite intriguing.

OT: Why not treat everyone the same? Women asked for equal rights so might as well treat them like men.

[quote=cuddymd]sometimes you can tell by their ign. but the biggest giveaway is if they have terrible grammar..for some reason IDK![/quote]

@StinkyFlower: I'm not hating, I'm stating. If you don't like the way I speak to you, then shape up the way you speak to others. If you have to ask people to not hate on you, then you're obviously doing something wrong.

How do you tell the boy characters are girls in real life?

I mentioned this before but as I see it it doesn't mater what gender people play their characters on because there is little chance or me proving what gender they really are. I see this only really being a issue if you try to date people or something.

[quote=StinkyFlower]it was a reference to what i said AND HERE GOD U PPL ARE SO DUMB :

ONE SIZE DONT FIT ALL = AS IN THERE IS NO IDEAL WAY A GIRL SHOULD ACT.

ONE ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION DOES NOT APPLY TO ALL GIRLS = IF SOMEONE ON HERE SAYS A GIRL SHOULD ACT IN A CERTAIN WAY ALL GIRLS WHO ARE REAL GIRLS SHOULD AND HAVE TO ACT LIKE THAT BUT NOT REALLY!

GOSH u ppl tit me the BEEP off[/quote]

Well, maybe next time you should learn some proper English and stop treating everyone like you're above them. You come off as a real *****, you know.
*sigh*
The irony.
Oooooh the irony.

[quote=bwahax3]I can't tell the difference. I've met G.I.R.Ls that are just the same as I am, and I am a girl.
But I also played as a guy character for a while, and no one noticed at all. Only one person guessed I was a girl, and he said it was because I used a lot of smilies. However, my boyfriend uses a lot of smilies, and he's definitely not a girl, haha.

People just trust you are what you say you are.
Some G.I.R.L.s are major mooches; they'll be major gold diggers and maybe try to scam others. But some are perfectly normal, and just as friendly and sincere as anyone else.
Some girls are like that, too. It's not a distinguishing trait for either party.

Even if you ask for a pic of them, they can send you a fake photo. I was friends with a girl named "Jessica", and spoke to "her" on Skype. She had a picture of a normal-looking Asian girl (not pretty, not ugly, so nothing really stood out), but I later found out she was a boy named Eric, haha.[/quote]

...My name is Eric and I'm Asian. >.> MIGHT HAVE BEEN ME! *Evil grin*

But yeah, I agree with your post completely.

This is false. I speak with the most horrible grammar in game, while a friend of mine who is a G.I.R.L speaks with perfect grammar.
I also tend to f3 a lot.

@NekoChan You make it sound like people don't actually like this dress&hair.
But in all honesty, the way I change the look of my arch mage is usually influenced by my friends and how they dress their characters.(their style isn't my absolute, but it gives me an idea of what to get)
Yeah, I tend to hang around girls a bit much.
Aside from that, most the G.I.R.L's/girls you labeled with bright eyes don't actually have bright eyes.
and finally, why is bright eyes suddenly a g.i.r.l face? I know plenty of girls who actually got them. Yeah, I'm positive, I've skyped with them. x_x
./sounds butthurts&actually isn't WOO.

[quote=StinkyFlower]guys troll a lot even on girl character or act too girly guys dont like to talk abt their feelings so theres a question u can ask GIRLS guys tend to be more straight forward with things girls keep talking and talking pay attention to how they act and respond to their surroundings. girls are not one homogeneous group im just stating the more general clues but theyre not always accurate one size dont fit all one answer to this question wont apply to all girls this is a game u look for friends it doesnt matter what gender or how they look if u think abt it its true when was the last time u looked at one of ur friends and care abt the way they look[/quote]

Then again there are girls that act overly girly online too... I played with my real life friend who flirted with everyone...

Some guys are feminine enough to convey a girl quite well. You can never truly tell behind the screen

Ive found that G.I.R.L.s try too hard to make there avatar overly cute and or ridiculously girly.
But that honestly isn't a sure fire way to tell if they are a dude or guy behind the screen.
Honestly who cares if you find them enjoyable to be around

I never tried to see the difference. I just ask for their names.
Most people I've met just tell me if they're male or female.
