    I think the "androgenous" symbol just means they refused to specify gender in their profile.

    I fit the profile on age and income, but I have no degrees. I am an autodidact, mostly. I did take a few college classes.

    I'd bet that homosexuals make up 20% of the Prius market, Bob. That is solely based on my experience and has no basis on fact.

    Yes, the "androgenous" symbol just means they haven't specified a gender in their profile.

    Whereas I assumed they just hadn't bothered to check the box for gender on their profile. Or that they thought "unknown" would be an amusing designation.

    Of course I knew that. I just thought that it would stimulate some interesting discussion, so I posted that comment in jest.

    Okay, I'll chime in.

    I'm female. Not married (but pratically so... perhaps I'm married by Texas common law), no kids. I have a plethora of college degrees, and scarily enough, am getting at least one more (anyone want one?). I do not make $85k, but that's because I've either been a graduate student or a post-doc :D. However, my s.o. makes more than enough money. I am not in the computer industry, but am a techie (biomedical engineering), and days I'm not doing bench work I often spend in front of a computer.

    Ok I've been lurking on this thread, might as well add my two cents...

    Starbug is: female, 23 YO, a geek/techie, educated up through high school (homeschooled), doesn't make much money :cry: , works two full-time jobs (I play with toy cars for a living! WOOO! :clap: What do YOU do? :mrgreen: ), car nut, Prius-obsessive, single (sigh), artist, html spinner/web designer, loves animals, audiophile, scifi & fantasy nut, adores spicy foods.

    And there ya have it.

    How great to be hearing from the women of the group! I think I'm ready to share more details. I'm 54 (god that sounds old! I'm really not. I've just lived a long time), married, no kids (whoops, forgot to do that!) teach anthropology, have a side business doing workshops on cultural diversity at hospitals (which is finally starting to bring in enough money to put me in the "typical Prius user category) and bellydance. I started learning to play the doumbek last year (that's a middle eastern drum), but haven't had time to practice lately. I'm considered a computer geek by most of my friends, but that's only because they know almost nothing about computers. I'm a total Mac person; PCs make me nervous. I love to read, mostly mystery novels. My favorite new toy is my iPod. I can't wait to get my new Prius -- salsa red with Option package #6. It should be arriving in port any day now. :p

    I kind of figured the thread was mostly to flush out the women folk for comradare, but if you care: Most of it is in my profile. Not in there - wife, 2 daughters - 9 & 11. 2 cats that don't get along.

    Enjoy that new car Geri-Ann!

    Geri-Ann,
    Congratulations! Your Prius will be a totally awesome experience! I remember my head being in the clouds for the first month of having my Prius, and come to think of it, it never really went away! :D
    I wish many happy miles to you!

    My stereotype of women is that they like to get their information through informal exchanges such as talking to friends. So I thought chatgroups -- even those about cars -- would be a predominantly female medium. (I was wrong, but I don't mind!)

    When my husband and I were deciding what car to get, he researched all of the technical information while I started going to chatgroups to learn about people's real-world experiences with the car. This division of labour worked well for us and we're really happy with our car.
