Thank you for your tips. I appreciate it.

Check out the last box (scroll down) "Gender Verified" on this page: http://www.helpaguyout.com/ladies.php

Basically, we ask women to submit their publicly available profiles such as Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter for one-time verification purposes.

But Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter don't verify gender, either.
That's true. This seemed to be the most simplistic way I could come up with without discouraging registrations. I would be happy to entertain your suggestions.
I don't really have any, aside from the 4-chan approach - send a photo holding up a sign with the date and some random string of characters - but that might also discourage a lot of women.
on FB I am a 100 year old woman
