Interesting blog post about Gender preferences in design

Just thought you might be interestd - basically, the findings of a study show that women prefer more rounded, soft designs while men prefer straight lines and hard edges. Something to keep in mind when designing sites for a predominantly male/female audience.

Hmm . . . Guess I must be one of the few guys that prefers the rounded corners. Maybe I'm just really in touch with my feminine side?!?

Good info. I prefer soft hard edges myself.
I guess I should stop targeting squirls?
But seriously, good info.
