how to add DropDownList to ASP.NET Identity?

I started to use ASP.NET Identity, and my question is how can I add a dropdownlist for gender (Male and Female) to my database?

I added a string value called "Gender" to my "AspNetUsers" table(with migrations in the cmd)

and I want to save there the values from the dropdownlist..

I'm using MVC but I can use Web Forms as well. I saw this link: MVC4 Dropdown menu for Gender and I didn't understand how does it connect to the databse.

Thanks in advance.

In Controller

ViewBag.gender=new List<SelectListItem>(){
    new SelectListItem(){Text="Male", Value="Male"},
    new SelectListItem(){Text="Female", Value="Female"}
} ;

In view

@Html.DropDownListFor(
x => x.GenderId, 
new SelectList(ViewBag.gender as List<SelectListItem>, "Value", "Text"))
