Good question. Even I, a "too the core feminist," jump to the conclusion that a poster is probably a male unless they have a genuinely girly name (like you) or a testosterone oozing name (or manner) that confirms my assumption.

Especially on a truck forum, it's far too easy to go with the default that we've all been taught: everything is male unless proven female. Admit it. We all do it. From snakes to astronauts, we are all lazy and will generalize with male pronouns, calling both sexes "he" unless it's obvious as it is with lions or some bird species. English does not provide us with compact words to denote both. "She or he" is a clunky expression. People resist using "they or them" to referring to an individual.

I went for a gender neutral name when I chose mine. It leans toward male because of the connection between men and their trucks. . . Maybe it wasn't so gender neutral after all.

I've tried to make a mental note when other posters with gender neutral contributors reveal themselves as female. We women need to know how many of us are out there. We need to remind everyone that you might be addressing a woman.

It is still your right to remain a mystery if you want to use the internet to mask gender. There are also people out there for whom that question falls somewhere in the grey area in between. Don't feel pressured to answer if you don't want to do so.

LadyRidge, I think I hijacked your thread. You asked a simple question. I see it as a deep issue that impacts all of our lives in every aspect, everyday. I'm done.

I don't mind hijackers one bit Truckin'. Feel free anytime. ( unless we are on the same plane you decided to blow it up, then I won't be so nice ) :eek:

This is the only forum that I've ever used such a feminine screename, for exactly the reason Truckin' mentions. It's not that being female and owning a truck is odd, but for some reason the vast majority of posters to forums like this are male.

Woman. Sadly, I don't know a lot of women who are "into" their cars or trucks, at least not to the extent that they'd admit being part of a forum like this. I've known a lot of men who are "car geeks" (I use that term with affection, of course) through my husband, but no women!

I've talked with more men who's wives love the ridgeline and want to buy one for them. Me, my wife likes the ridgeline, but not enough to grab my keys from me on a regular basis. Admittedly, this truck does not ooze testosterone like my dodge diesel did. this is a more refined vehicle.

I'd have to agree but I give my better half some credit on the issue of buying the Ridgeline. I was initially shopping for an SUV. She's the one that said: why don't you look at this new truck from Honda? The rest is history. I've bought a lot of cars over the years (admittedly, with too much frequency). I can honestly say that my wife has accepted the Ridgeline more than any other car I've bought during our 21 year marriage. She loves the versatility, roominess, ride and creature comforts. She loves to use the trays above the glove compartment when she brings her sewing stuff with her on long trips (of course, I'm always cleaning up her thread pieces after these mobile sewing trips :) )

This is truly a vehicle that appeals to both sexes.

Female.

I am definitely a woman, but have always had more male friends than female friends. There are times when I think I should have been a male. I chose a male dominated profession and now drive a truck.

I can talk circles around many men in regards to autos, computers, etc. But definitely like being a woman! :D

Female, 40 and fabulous :D

Definitely not the traditional girly girl either (Scout leader, car enthusiast, have my own hammer and know how to use it)

Male and my wife tells me I spend too much time on the forum. But she definitely was the one who convinced me to go with the Ridgeline over any of the other options. I was shopping on price and was going to probably go with a Colorado even though I really liked the Ridgeline much better. If you take my trip to Florida off the odometer, I have put a total of 1200 miles on my truck since the third week of June, so really I was only buying a truck for raw utility around my house so a Colorado could have worked, but it wouldn't have been as nice.

Better than a lug nut... :D

Two nuts here (least last time I checked) which would put me in the male camp.

I gave birth to two nuts (each with their own set of nuts!) :p ; that makes this Mom a gurlie girl :-)

Mr. SmokyMtnRidger lurks around quite a bit. I am more the yakkety yak one of us.

Male. I must admit I was a little surprised by some the non-gender specific names that were of the opposite sex. I think I just assumed that if the name was not identifiable as feminine, then it must be a man. Obviously a erroneous assumption based on my younger days when very few females were car or truck enthusiasts to the extent they are today.
The RL is the first truck I have owned that my DW really enjoys riding in and she doesn't mind driving it either when she manages to pry me from behind the wheel.

It's been very fun to see what lurks behind our monikers. This thread combined with the "What do you do" thread has opened people up about who we are besides being wild about our trucks. Keep it up.

ok my turn.
Male 22 Ky and I love Honda.

was going to get a ridgeline in april but waited to see the new pilot now it a hard pick for me as I love everything honda makes but more to the ridgeline now that I see the new custome cover.

And please not crazy stuff about that Im too young. I get way to much on the accord forum as every person on there is a wanabe racer car driver and known nothing about a honda engine and just want a angry bumble bee car while mine is all stock. The way I got it from honda dealer ship. I may be young but dont do all the same thing young people do.

Oh and did I mention I love Honda.

:D :D :D

You know, the best thing about this forum, IMO, is that no one take umbrage about age, gender, ability, etc. Ok, so COLOR (of vehicle) seems to be of issue, but that's just FUN!

As long as you own (or desire, or want info about) a Ridgeline, then anyone is welcome!

Male 40 something

We bought our RL as a family vehicle. Still have three kids :) ;) :o at home out of five. So, my wife will most likely drive the RL more than I will. She actually wanted to purchase the RL as much as I did so I guess everyone is happy. Did not want another minivan. Still drive my little 4 cyl. Cavalier back and forth to work. Isn't that a cryin' shame. Once it dies I may be lookin' for Civic Hybrid, who knows. Love the RL, best truck I have ever purchased.

Thank Ridgeln. I like this site and everyone is more mature on this site and that is how I like it. Now for the color. I may need help. my accord is silver and I dont want to get another one in that color. Right now Im looking at either Black or Red. I wish honda comes out with another blue and I want a darker blue.

Oh and I LOVE the RIDGELINE. LOVE LOVE LOVE turns to WANT WANT WANT

oh and I realy like this site too :cool:

Capt, you absolutely made the right choice! I traded an '04 Colorado in for my (RED ;) ) Ridgeline and I can tell you for a fact that the difference is night and day!! :D
And, even with the 4-banger the Colorado was only averaging about 22 MPG so far my Ridge has been averaging 19-20 MPG (I'll take all this comfort over 2 MPG anyday!!! :D :D )

Female - post menopause....oops, wrong chat room discussion. I've always had trucks, vans or SUVs. I like performance cars and probably should have been a boy, but being female is far too much fun! It's really nice to see more women on the auto shows such as DIY and PBS these days who aren't sporting the 'daisy duke' image, but demonstrate they know which end of a pair of channel lock to use or what the adjustabe jaws on a crescent wrench are. :p

metrosexual male, 46

I was watching the TODAY show with Al Roker this morning and just when I got it all figured out what a metrosexual is.... they up and start talking about Ubersexuals :eek: . I can't keep up! Anyhoo, according to what I saw today a metrosexual is very well groomed, uses a lot of "product" in grooming, etc. and an ubersexual is a soccer dad, smokes a fine cigar, knows the finer points of red wine, etc. It's my pleasure to keep you all updated ;)

Smoky <shrugs>
married to a Regular Guy who doesn't smoke, drinks beer and would sooner die than get a manicure

So how many sexes are there now? :confused: Maybe I'd better have mine rechecked. :D

I was just being silly in my reply as a metrosexual...just seeing if anyone would notice.

Anyway I'm just a regular guy, probably like your hubby SmokyMtnRidger just happen to live close to NYC and have heard the term. Though I do use "product" in my full head of hair (pretty good for 46) but have never had a manicure!

Too cute Tedridge! I like it when my hubby uses "product" in his hair, he looks better. I have him up to using it during the work week, the weekend usage is still a work in progress. Of course, if I didn't have something to be training him on I would be frustrated! :p

Oh you know it, but doesn't the Colorado have a 5-banger (just to be different)? The Colorado was actually a really nice utility truck but when we really considered it, we knew we would be using it throughout the winter most likely since the car isn't good in snow, we knew we would use it for some longer trips if we went camping and such, and if we were going to put out a load of cash it should be on something we would really enjoy.

I will still say that the Colorado would make a great little utility truck to have around just when you need to make a trip to the Home Depot or to the lawn/garden center or whatever, it wasn't as comfortable, it wasn't as fancy, and it certainly wasn't as powerful, but it would get the job done. But even saying all that, it was no Ridgeline.

So how many sexes are there now? :confused: Maybe I'd better have mine rechecked. :D
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL :) :D
Thanks for the great laugh Web. Hope you are well.

"Product" - in one's hair? Bald is the way to go - cleaner through the airstream, only requires a squeegee to dry it after the morning shower, no need for "Head & Shoulders" shampoo (ok, so maybe I need the shoulders part). One follically challenged buddy claimed his hair-free pate was a "solar panel for a sex machine." Ubersexual? Metrosexual? Na - pure blooded mongrel USA Male. And darn proud of it. Who needs the media labeling what I should or should not be? Cigars? Hate 'em. Good wine? As long as my wife likes it, it is good wine (she does have a more developed pallet for wines). And you know my stance on "product."

How did I find the ROC? I have no clue. But I'm glad I did!

-ridgeln

If I didn't put "product" in my hair I'd look like the porcupine that the mongrel dragged in! I'm a pure blood USA male all the way!

I'll return to work when he is in school (if I have any working grey matter at that point).

13 out of 120+ who responded, if that number mapped out to the membership, then wouldn't we be around 130 to 150 female members? That is a lot for a truck forum, maybe this is a chick truck ;).

When I got married two years ago, my husband began buggin' me about getting a new truck. I resisted mightily, new trucks=waste of money (and I loved my old trucks...) all manuals, fun to drive, workhorses...
I relented and was considering a Tundra, used. Then, I read Consumer reports, and started looking at the Ridgeline. Thought it was pretty ugly at first...
Did bundles of research, took a test drive, and that was it.
Nothing would do but that I get a white RTL Ridgeline.
I love it.

Take the kids, (everybody's kids ) pack in the mtn bikes and head for the MTNS!!
We're going to have to get MORE female Ridger's!!:)

Man. Strangely enough, my wife hasn't spent more than 10 minutes behind the wheel of my Ridgeline since I got it about 3 months ago. However, my son (15) is getting a LOT of driving time. :eek:

My 2 daughters like my Ridgeline and I think my oldest (13) would gladly claim it once she starts driving (I'm not planning on giving it up, however).

tmh64, You never said if your male or female, in todays world having a wife doesn't nail it down:D

Time to bump this and get some responses from some of our new members! So, let's hear from you!:D

Come on "newbies" lets hear from you!

WOW! I hadn't seen this thread before. But no surprise, it's basically 2 years old. I'm male....62. Born and raised in the South (Alabama), and with that comes all the stereotypes about almost everything. But somewhere along the way, IF you wake up, you start to realize that the best approach to life is to just look at people as people. And to me, people tend to fall into two different categories...those I'd really like to spend some time with, and those I wouldn't. Male, female, black, white, rich, poor...it all doesn't matter. I just look for good people who are not self-centered and who genuinely care about other people. All the background stuff doesn't mean a crap. And if I attended a ROC event where all kinds of Ridgeline owners showed up, I'd always search for those folks who were genuinely good people and interesting to talk with. I couldn't give a crap if you're male, female, or something in between. And just for the record, I LOVE to see anyone who's a car nut. Sex doesn't matter. Well, unless you're talking about SEX, and I love the old saying, "Sex is like air, it doesn't matter unless you're not getting any."

I see the Ridgeline as male, mainly because of it's masculine lines and the ability to take a lot of ****e from others. :D

NOW, my new CR-V is definitely a "female" with it's gracious curves and gentle BMW esque body lines.

Between the two though, I prefer the more masculine look of the Ridgeline and the more feminine curves and handling of the CR-V. Each has it's weaknesses, though.

Now, I'm a 28 year old male. :D

Just curious if I'm talkin' to a guy or a girl!!

I'm not positive but in my life time I haven't met a lady named Kevin :) But ............I could be wrong. As far as posting and threads go if Lady Ridge doesn't tell me anything I shouldn't be here hunny.

Hmm, never saw this thread.

Male, 40, married no children.

Male, 53, married with children

Male 50
my wife is married so I guess I am to :D

MALE...32 Y/O
ONE RUGRAT AND ANOTHER ON THE WAY (Hence the need to trade in my beloved tacoma and seek additional room, but I covered that in another post..)

I was certainly one of the youngest on the site when I bought my 04 goldwing...probably pretty close here too!!!

Oh, and as the Late comedian Mitch Hedberg said, "I'm not married, I just know a woman who would divoce me if she heard me say that"...Happy Easter....BMB:D

My gender neutral screen name has long been my handle for online stuff. I am female/25, and I chose that name because at the time I chose it back 10 years ago I was driving a 1990 Honda Accord EX. I just parted with my baby when I got my RL. I've been glad to have a gender neutral name because sometimes on less sophisticated forums and web sites in general (or when I give out my email to people) I don't want to be labeled or for anyone to know that I'm a female since some people take that to mean "female and desperately seeking male" while that may have been the case from time to time in the past, I have been happily unavailable for some time now. :-) This forum is by far my favorite because everyone is friendly and no one has said anything disparaging about my being a chick...everyone actually sounded really happy to have another lady on the site. So...thanks for being so cool you all. I don't post all the time but I'm always reading.

I thought most guys liked chicks. :confused:

That's one of the best things about the ROC, for the most part everyone is nice, helpful,friendly, and, for the most part;), behaves in a intelligent manner! We like EVERYBODY, after all we all share a love for the same thing, our Ridgeline's!

<insert obligatory disparaging, misogynist, sexist, condescending, patronizong, chauvinist remark here> JK :D:D:D

But, why?:eek:

26y/o male married c 3 dogs and a cat. What can I say you have to start out somewhere!

Guy, ...............45, Guy number327 in the poll

Glad I just came across this poll....what gender r u.....we women need all the help we can get here on the ROC! Count me in on the FEMALE count! I know we're still out-numbered....but we love our trucks just the same! Right Ladies?

I'm glad you stepped forward and identified yourself as a woman. Yes, we women are outnumbered on this forum. We need to acknowledge each other so it doesn't feel so lonely in this sea of men.

Here in the Denver area, I have seen quite a few female drivers of RL's. Usually they are flying by me on the highway. That makes me think their husbands or boyfriends were the real owners of those RL's and had to pay for the gas at those high speeds;) .

Okay, cut me some slack I was just kidding about the real owners of those speeding trucks.

CUTE....I like your humor Sparkland! :p I like the guys paying for the gas......................Zooooooom! :D

CUTE....I like your humor Sparkland! :p I like the guys paying for the gas......................Zooooooom! :DThere is nothing hotter than a woman offering to fill my gas tank. She immediately jumps 3 points on the "hotness scale" :D

Indeed. I don't post as much or as often as I used to (an almost 2 year old gets in the way of that!) but I am still a woman :D

K757: Give us the money.....We'll filler-up! ;) More points please.

Can't believe I haven't seen this thread before!

38 y/o Female and I absolutely love my RL:)

32 year old male here but interestingly enough, the RL is my wife's and she has been asking me to do some upgrades since we got it in 2006. Now that I have started fixing it up for her, I found this wonderful forum and love being a part of it.
