Apperantly when the website thinks you are a woman, it marks that column down as "Normal: No", because 82% of visitors are men.

Just something to think about.

Also it called me ugly :<

Edit:

I just ran the website for a second time and didn't change my clothes or anything, and it gave me very different results.

ie. gender, age, bmi, attractiveness all different.

I don't think the ratings for this is very stable & reproducible.

at least it rated my girlfriend as abnormally attractive. :)

thats actually a hardish problem to solve.

I originally had a feature like that, but I just couldn't figure out what background colours to use.

For example the asexual flag here https://ladygeekgirl.files.wordpress.com/2015/02/asexual-fla...

Its black, grey, white, and dark purple, I just don't know what kind of background colour would actually make text more legible.

I could do different background colours for each gradient, but thats probably even ugiler.

Do you have any suggestions?

I certainly do not mean to cause offense to LGBT people, in fact I am one of them!

I don't see how having a CLI tool that prints our flags insensitive tho.
