I'm just curious-- what do you think the chances are that this is a woman sharing an e-mail account with her partner? Or is it most likely just another man pretending to be a woman online? Thank you!

 So you probably got a catfish.
IF you are looking to chat with a woman, this might not be one. I'd look elsewhere for that.

I had googled the email address and the resume' of a man popped up.

My nickname is "male" - it's what people have called me from I was a kid (for the last 20 year it's been an English version, but still a "male" name). One of my e-mails ( I have two) is USING this name. So in short, if I gave you my e-mail it would read like a man's name. I'm NOT a man.
So there can be THAT aspect of it.
you can try and do a reverse e-mail search on Spokeo.com (it CAN give you links to that person's Facebook, forums they use that e-mail for etc.) Or try Beenverified.com and do the same.
It might give you a better idea if you are dealing with a catfish (someone who IS NOT who they claim to be) or if this is really a woman.

 Are you just chatting as friends or is there something else developing?
