Name of the... Gender?

Everyone likes games, right? Well, so do we in my family (except for one). We agree that some of the best are road games. We have one certain 'road game' in particular that is a favorite of everyone's. It's called "Guess my Gender". We will simply drive down road (main street, deserted road, YOU NAME IT!), and will pass people and 'guess their gender'. Some are easy, simply because of what they're wearing, how they're walking, or what they're doing. Others.... not so easy.

The other day, for example, my dad treated us to Chuck-a-Rama, and we were coming down the road when, lo, and behold, we come across a biker. Here is a description: the person is wearing a baseball cap, in which coming out of that little hole in the back is all this long, curly hair. First response: GIRL! (Woman, whatever). Well, we go down (this is the back of the biker, remember); dark green windbreaker, too loose to notice the (if any) curves; shorts, but not short-shorts. Again, too lose to notice if they have major ripped thighs, or if there is 'flabbiness' (yes, that's a word in my family dictionary). Next: the calves. Well, this was the hard part. If i remember correctly, they were somewhat musculary calves, although I must say a girl can have muscular calves, right? Well, I also vaguely recollect HAIR. And not the thin, 'I haven't shaved in 2 days' hair. No, we're talkin' caveman 'Are you wearing furry pants' hair. (Note: I may be exxagerating)

I don't remember after all if it was a man or a woman, but just remembering that biker gives me chills. We have encountered many such people in grocery stores, stores like Home Depot, the library, even, I suppose, school. It's a little scary the way people are dressing these days.
