Humans and Fonts

Here is a survey for you. Please spare a moment and put in your comments as to whether my statements are right or wrong, from your experience. Do ask your friends to take part in this as well.

Fonts that Women prefer are Garamond, Georgia or Trebuchet.
Fonts that Men prefer are Verdana or Arial.

I would like you to comment on this:
Is this correct or not? What kind of font do you use or like to see?

The statements are based on my observations of fonts used by different people - in their mails, blogs, etc.

    I prefer - Verdana or Tahoma mostly. Not sure what would women prefer, I've never noticed.

    My personal faves are Trebuchet & Tahoma. I have noticed men prefer Arial & Times New Roman. [I attribute this to their laziness, coz most applications has default font as Arial :-p]

    So far so good. One man prefers Verdana, one woman prefers Trebuchet. Keep the comments coming, folks.

    It depends on where I am! At work, it is Verana for internal work, and Arial for the Ministerial and formal papers etc..

    But at home, its Comics Sans all the way!!!

    Depends on what I'm doing. I like sanserif fonts for some projects, but for most formal things, like business letters, my resume, etc., I like the heft of a serif font. Two of my websites/blogs are in a sanserif font, one is serif, but that's to preserve an old-timey feeling. I guess the answer is that, for things that are clearly of the web, sanserif, for things that emulate printed material, serif.

    I would say I like Comics Sans the most. My second choice would be Times New Roman.
