It will hit around 60% males and 40% female, but I don't believe it will change much more ;)<br><br> Also, I do believe these results would be a little inaccurate -- Some research was done a while ago and it was found 1 in 16 male AV's are really females and 1 in 5 female AV's are really males so there's probably a lot more females there than what's being accounted for... Nothing to be overly concerned about.. It will hit around 60% males and 40% female, but I don’t believe it will change much more ;)
