Good morning hun :D Coffeeeeee is reday :D 
Mjaa no it would not have made any difference to me, i do work with information, secondly i have a tendency to be blunt and can be seen as rude(while its never my intention, i never come from a bad place, my jokes often get missunderstood ;) ) so while i talk to femails, i try to be more 'soft' .
BUT i agree, gender have nill, ciro importence :D 

>Fortunately, those hormones seem to be heavily sedated for me. :0)

Ha ha i uselly call my , thinking a busted x cromosom ;) LOL 
Yeah i i have friends that dont have kids either, i dont often talk about my kids , IF the other person dont bring it up first :)
I like how you know and take responcible for your self, and know you might not be a great parent! Awsome slefinsight, you gooo giiirlYyy :D woohoo 
Ha ha dont diss the **f-up people in the world**, they are the once who make my payslip you know ;) :P LOL My master degree is in psycology ;) 

>I give a lot of people small 'sympathy-votes'.

This is great but here the VEST come in to, in my case tossing out small votes have a huge impact on the newcomers and it will make their post gain more VEST and it have nill effect on my account :D  
But now, i must say, i have, a huge activety in my leaft brain side(as in calculate a lot) I return vote at 5%(a 0.01) to people who gives me a 100%- nill value transaction AS they came at me with their full vp :D this cost me but i see it as a reward for them to keep at it & this is a gain to the platform :) Then over to the intro tag, i try to again cast a vote that have some juice behind it, so they can 'see' staying here can be great :D Now, for me this is actions i take & i make caluculated actions every day & this takes time, OR i would kill my vp down to 50% O.o 
I make changes almost every day, i have a steady fan base but edit that depending on how much undelegated sp i have :) 

>That's the only way I manage to understand technical things like curation, lol.

Ha ha ok i now , know how to give you information about the platform ;) LOL 
I would love to see/hear that info.
Hm by the look at your curation, i dont see it as messed up? 
I see you casting a lot of votes, but thats nothing worng with that, as long as you dont go down under 70% :) 

Ha ha your to cute LOl ok look at
