gender detection, simple question

I understand the tutorials, but i don't quite understand how to make it work for me. I could make a simple program, put names in a database, and give them a label 1 or 2, for male or female.

  1. Should i put in my own recognized/trained people, or use a large dataset.
  2. If the first, it feels a bit like cheating, as i am basically labeling that person with a gender already. I'm sure it will tell me i am a male if i labeled it as such and there are enough images of me.

I guess i dont understand the difference between just entering a hardcoded entry of "male" or "female" and actually do prediction.

Hope this makes sense :-)
