This tool uses your browsing history to figure out if you're male or female. It guesses based on the m/f ratio of people that go to the website. I left some of the interesting ones in there as well (no surprise, deadspin.com is over 2:1 male)

Apparently, real men read the WSJ. Youtube was the only gender neutral site on the list. I still don't get why paying off my student loans is something more often done by females than males.

Re: I'm a boy! (according to my surf history)
That's funny. I was going to say that because the news sites seem to be weighted towards men, that most of us would end up looking maler than expected.

I appear to be gender-neutral.

I'm a special boy! or girl!
Re: I'm a boy! (according to my surf history)
Well, with a name like Sandy...
This is a personal problem. There are very few personal problems that cannot be solved through a suitable use of high explosives. This is not one of those exceptions.
Re: I'm a boy! (according to my surf history)
The financials skew female. Who knew? Because the women pay the bills? So why does PayPal tip to the testosterone? Porn? I wonder where eBay lands.
Sallie Mae is a head scratcher. What is that suppose to indicate? Three times as many women take out student loans? Three times as many women pay them back?

Re: I'm a boy! (according to my surf history)
I would guess that eBay skews female. Actually the data only shows that 50% more women pay their student loans. 3 times as many would be 0.33. The most "male" site I had was pricewatch.com, which was 2.7 ish

Re: I'm a boy! (according to my surf history)
Where the hell did the site designer get the information about the gender ratio of the visitors, is what I want to know.
EDIT: Ah, I see, it's this Quantcast thing. I'm still highly suspicious of their data, though.
OK, and it says
jezebel.com and rotten.com skew the same way?! Like I said, color me suspicious.

My report at work came up as a girl (77%). At home, 87% male. Unfortunately, I did recently erase my browsing history though.
