I've associated numbers with genders since I was a child. What in the world do you call that?

Question

1- Male
2- Young male
3- Female
4- Female
And so on and so on

There's no misogyny involved in this. Some may believe that the number one connotates superiority, but to me it's only a numeral.

Answer 1

homosexuality.......queer.

Answer 2

It's actually called Synaesthesia. Some people associate numbers with colors, or colors with smells, or tastes with shapes, or music with colors, and so on. It's not a common way of thinking, but there's nothing wrong with it.

There is an interesting book about this called "The Man Who Tasted Shapes". The reference is below.

Answer 3

I would call that ridiculous. Everybody knows that you should associate desert foods with people (plus you have two numbers for female, your system's a little weird).

Cupcakes - Hot women
Flan - Mexican women
Watermelon - Big women
Big Sticks - Men
Marachino Cherries - Young people
Pies - Old people. Only old people like pies. Kinda weird.

Answer 4

I have done that as far back as I can remember... Some numbers are neutral sex like 7. I not only think of them having a sex but also a personality.

9 is a very old bitchey female

Thanks for asking the question.. Was thginking about asking it myself..

Answer 5

So what do you do with the number 14?

Answer 6

Autistic...........
Your probably boarder line and you think a lot with numbers. I do it too. But I have 1 as male 2 as female
1-dog dogs are male
2-cat cats are female
That's the way I think even tho I know dogs & cats are male and female.....
I'm not dumb it's just the way some people think.
Your normal probably real smart.
☺

cool....Christin K I will have to get that book and read it.
Thanks

Answer 7

there's only 2 genders, how many numbers could you associate with them?

p.s. does hermaphrodite count? What about transexual? is that like a 7 1/2?

Answer 8

I don't know, but I think the fact that you associate "male" with the number "1" says something...

Answer 9

Eh. I do that. I think most people subconciouly assign genders to inanimate objects. Some languages even have "masculine" and "feminine" nouns.

Answer 10

I kinda do that too, with all kinds of stuff. Like to me, certain pool balls are males and females. I don't know what it's called, but I hope you find out because I have that, too!

Answer 11

Numerology, I had an Au Pair that did that kind of stuff, its way cool.
