My purpose is to see how many male and female gamers (assumingly "hardcore" if you're posting here) there are out there, find the ratio, and draw conclusions to certain aspects of psychology.

I'm not sure if you'll get a useable cross-section of game players just from this site. You'll be able to get an idea of THIS board, but not game players in general. I know I've heard polls and stats on the gender of people who play games, and there's a decent percentage of female game players out there. I'm just not sure how many.

THAT'S DANNY. His hometown is New Orleans.

Quite right. Are you only interested in gamers who are drawn to 2D fighters and less mainstream games or are you looking at the entire spectrum of games? Are you only polling MMCafe? If you're looking for players drawn to a niche -and a particular way of discussing it- then polling here will be fine. If you're looking for a broader response then you might want to poll other places as well. F'r instance, try asking this same question on the board of a FF7 fan page and I suspect you'll get a completly different set of responses than you'll find here.

If this is for a highschool/lower-level college course, I doubt it matters since the teacher will have no idea about the people who play videogames.

To Undead Fred and Ishmael

I'm specifically polling this board for now. Since this is the only message board that I post to, I was asked to see how many people are male and female here, just out of interest of the teacher.
My teacher is the art teacher at the school, but she's really into things on a psychological level, especially when it comes to video games.
She's also doing my business studies course, (I'm the only person in the class), and knowing her, this is going to tie in somehow.
But it was only specific to this board and my school because she only wants to know about places that I associate myself with. The fact that I associate myself with any place is a rarity, so you're all blessed in her opinion.

To Radish
I'm in high school, last year, but it's a "nerd" school. So this stuff is studied constantly, especially by this one teacher.

To JJWE
I concur.
