Poll.
1. What gender are you?
2. What gender are the other empaths you personally know (who aren't on this group to reply to the poll)?
3. (optional) What sexual orientation are you & they?

I'm wondering whether this is a more female than male thing.

But then, I'm male, and 2 of the 3 strong empaths I know are too.

1. I'm female.

2. I know two men who seem to be empaths. I think I'm the only female empath I know of.

3. I'm heterosexual and married, and no... my husband isn;t an empath. Amazingly enough though he was the one who pointed out that I might have psychic abilities and helped me develop them. He is also capable of 'blocking' me, which is part of his natural talent but I think also might just be a natural defense mechanism.

1. I'm male.

2. I know empaths of every walk of life. More of them are female than male.

3. They range in sexual orientation. But bisexuality seems to be more occuring than anything else.

1) Male.
2) Most strong empaths I know are also male, however - what seems to be the strongest of the strong are all women.
3) Don't really think I/they have one set in stone - too much else to worry about in this world.

I'm female.

The majority of empaths that I have personally interacted with are male. The strongest one was male. Out of those I've met via mailing lists, the majority were female.

I'm bisexual. Most of them were straight.

1. Male
2. I only know one other empath and he's male but i know a few people i'd suspect could be empaths and they're all female.
3. I'm gay, i don't know much about being an empath but i've been trying to learn when i have time...i think that it's more prevalent in males that are open to both sexs and that it's very strong in females that are open to both sexs...

1. I am male.
2. I know a few people that profess they are gifted, but I never truly seen anyone do or say somthing that I was impressed enough to say,"you must be empathic or whatever."
2a. IMHO, I think its split down the middle between the sexes...
3.I am not gay or bi, and the people I know seem to be a even mix of everything :)

2. The only other person I know who I really feel is empathic is female.

3. We both happen to straight - which is kinda a shame because I sometimes wonder how well we'd do in a relationship together.

1. I am Female

2. The empaths that have confided in me about being such (a rather taboo topic) are mostly male.

3. I, and them, are straight in our sexuality

Why is it taboo?

Also, I thought that my ability to "sense" other empaths (by probing in a way) was part of being one. Are you saying you are one, but cannot determine if others are?

1. female
2. combination, I know a lot of people who are "sensitive" in one way or anither, many of them empathic. Doesn't seem to have a gender preferance IME.
3. I'm straight, more or less everyone I know who is sensitive is straight, but then I don't know that many gay/bi people. Again, would expect it comes down to who you know.

I'm as fem a male as one gets without devianting completely from straight.

Most of the ones I've met are fem, and the 3rd answer is within the 1st.

1) Female. (Touch of idealized masculinity, but that's probably feminized too.)
2) One female, one male.
3) Not entirely sure. Most of us seem to have been ever-so-slightly bi. (I could just shorten it and say just bi, aren't I picky? Bleah.) One was a former lover.

I'm biologically female but bigendered (gender is the sociocultural dimension of being male or female, for those of you unclear on the difference), but most of the empaths I know are male, and most of them are gay. I am asexual.

1. female
2. i know four men and at least half a dozen women.
3. i'm bisexual. the men are straight except for one, who is bisexual. the women are mostly bisexual. the women tend to be partial or weak empaths, while three of the men i know are very strong.


this is a bit of a hard question to answer, because i find that everyone shares the abilities that are the basis for empathy to some degree, unless they're autistic or something similar -- that kind of mirroring is a natural part of communicating emotions. of people i know who experience other people's emotions strongly within their own bodies, there are several i would hesitate to call "empaths" or say that they're absolutely "not empaths" because they generally only can do it in situations that are unusually psychologically open (during sex or in ritual, for instance).

Hmm...interesting topic/poll. Although this is a little late, I just joined the community and decided to throw in my own stuffs!

1. female
2. more female than male--a lot are family members on my maternal side
3. asexual (since no other "label" really applies) --most I know are straight, but I do know a few who are bi or gay. Most are fairly open generally.

1. What gender are you?
Female

2. What gender are the other empaths you personally know (who aren't on this group to reply to the poll)?
I'd say equal number of males and females. The strongest I've known so far, is male.

3. (optional) What sexual orientation are you & they?
I'd say half hetero, the other half bi.
