I honestly don't support this, it doesn't even matter.
This is a game, not some social networking site, lol. Some of you people in this thread support this feature so much as if it's important. It's no big deal if you don't know somebody's gender when talking to somebody, and finding it offensive is kinda stupid imo. If you really want to know, just ask them yourself. It shouldn't have anything to do with who/how you interact with people anyways.

It may be one of those "sure, why not?" things, but complaining about it or highly suggesting it is rather silly.

I lol'd this too much.

Well, I think is pettry silly. You can ask someone you don't know his/her gender. That's all.

This. Even in the first place, why would each individuals gender matter? You're planning to use osu! as a dating site? I don't see any reason why personal info should be more exposed.

Yeah, thinking twice about this I don't see a point in adding it (and am weakly against it being present based on the obvious reasons). Sorry guys.

I would like this because some guys attempt to 'chat me up'.. but I'm a guy lol.
Though it should be optional for those who would prefer to stay anonymous and I don't like the idea of any additional 'features' of such which change depending on the gender you select (like the name colour suggestion on the first page - because I personally prefer pink over blue, I don't agree with such gender stereotypes).

Reason for making it an additional profile field rather than having people fill it in themselves in other profile fields is the fact that the latter may cause people to assume you're seeking attention (like a misconception with 'gamer girls')

I really don't like people who will only talk to those of which are potentially the opposite sex in hopes of finding romance from it, it's pretty sad.
If all you're seeking is romance, go to a website intended for such, don't strive for a relationship in a game.
Of course it is possible to find a relationship through a game (met my gf through a game), just don't make it your only objective, that's just creepy.

Times change, and sometimes denied requests get added anyway, I've seen it somewhere before and someone raged about it lol.

Until this is implemented, I'm just going to believe CDFA's a girl.

People can lie about their gender so it ain't a difference in the first place, I'm male btw..there, mystery solved

People can always lie about their gender :P. Granted, people can lie about their age and location and lots of things >3< .Most people however would put the correct gender on it (or at least what gender that would like to be considered)

True, I doubt that this feature will be implemented though.

Why not? Seriously I can't think of a reason why this isn't implemented.

Just my feelings...I mean if seriously considered, this "gender feature" would already been implemented a long time ago. Maybe peppy will prove me wrong, who knows?

So, you are free to lie too about your gender and maybe you are a girl. :3
/me runs

Anyways, my gender is already on my userpage so I don't think something will change it this gets implemented. Starless support.

Anyways, I have my gender in my userpage too, but it's be much more convenient on the userpage in an easily visible area o3o. Especially for those without userpages.

Would be a fun feature but I am not going to support this because you are going to get loads of guys listing themselves as girls for the fun of it which kind of ruins the whole point of the feature so it's no starts from me ; ___ ; - Sorry ^^

Well...it sure can avoid embarrassing situations like "are you a female, right?" (watching the user image). On the other hand I think it is nice to ask this kind of question to fortify the friendship. Obviously, you can't blindly believe someone you just met, but people which you speak with often.

I see no harm in such a feature. If people want to lie, I guess that's on them, but I can only imagine a small amount of people doing this...

Should give an option to hide the gender from public though.

I've been in so many awkward situations regarding gender on #osu that I feel this is completely necessary. Here, have 8 stars.
it's like people don't know what rule 30 is

You would just not put a gender.

That's an option i was looking for too when joining the osu!community a month ago.

I'd like to have the choice to display it or not.

Wow, old thread.

I don't think this should be implemented even if it's optional. If a lot of people used it, it would create an environment in which genderclaiming is expected and I don't think that's something we should move towards in a game that's largely male and that encourages talking with other players. And there would probably be more guys listing their gender as female than girls listing their gender as female - you'd have a better shot at choosing correctly by assuming male than by trusting the player's listed gender.

Well, lying on gender either male/female, has nothing to do with the fact we could choose to display our gender.

You can talk with anybody logged on the game or forum and they can lie to you...

By the way, you have no idea about how many girls play this game and you should be surprised...

I don't say we should be forced to display our gender, just i'd like to have the choice to display it or not. Same as i have the choice to display my age.

Did i receive any message because i'm 26 ? no. Am i lying ? No but still i could be. Lot of people use it. Did we create an environment where age is the matter of everything? I don't think so. Actually im just glad to be able to see some teenagers like 16y old on the top of best players in the world. It would be the same for male/female display...

Tbh I don't find it that important. But I'm a girl and I've been mistaken for a guy before and it was kinda weird and awkward. Btw there are quite a lot of girls who play osu.

As someone said earlier u can just put it on your userpage but not everyone has one and in game it wouldn't be shown. I think it should be shown somewhere in game so it's easier to see
