Poll Results: What gender are you?

• Female: 22 (48%)
• Male: 17 (37%)
• Other: 6 (13%)

As for the rest: It seems that “Male” and “Female” are fairly close, with the ladies beating out the men by about 10%. I’m okay with that, but it is an interesting thing to consider, because I figured that I would be of significantly more interest to male readers than women. A silly assumption, obviously, but it just never occurred to me that my blog would be of interest to so many women. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not complaining. I am quite happy about that, and it has taught me a valuable little lesson–don’t make assumptions about how I might be perceived by others.

That said, I should note that the margin of error based on the population and sample size for the poll is about +/- 13.78%, so it’s entirely possible that all of the figures above are completely meaningless in the grand scheme of things (I found out the margin of error here). The cool thing about the Internet is that it has taught me how large of a sample size I would need before the margin of error would be small enough to make polls like this produce accurate results (less than +/- 5%). That number? 200. I don’t know if I’ll ever get that many people to vote on a poll here so long as I’m around…

In any case, thanks again to everyone who volunteered their information, anonymous as it was. I appreciate it and hope you’ll vote again in the future. More polls are certainly to come.

Anywho!
