LOL 

Same for me.. All GW2 toons are female for me.  Darkfall Unholy will be male and Final fantasy 14 reborn undecided.

You can't possibly tell me the Charr male looks female. It is the most bad ass mmorpg-model I have ever seen.

Actually I was thinking about making a male Charr warrior.. I love the forklift horns!!! Talk about striking fear into your enemies;)

I'm male and I only play females. I don't care what people think about my gender. Sometimes they refer me as a She and sometimes as a He. I don't care, I play female characters becouse I like what I see, sometimes I delete and start again characters becouse I find something about it or I get bored of the haircut. My girlfriend says Im weird and that I'm trying to flirt with boys and then she laughts.

I don't give a crap what people are in reality or out of it.

If you don't know the difference between males and females....well, good luck in life, champ. :-D

I always create toons that could play a role in a story (I don't really RP though), so they can turn out to be anything. My latest toon is a nerdy scrawny (for Asura) female asura Engineer that likes to push buttons (people's or machine's ). I had to chose between this or a fat male human engineer. But that was too much like my old fat engineer in Anarchy Online.

as a gay man i play either. Fits my personality as i am often and easily fit into the two genders activities. I can sit around working on a car drinking with the guys and turn right around and go shopping with my girlfriends in a clothes store helping them try on outfits.

So yea, my main is a male my second is a female partly because of the names i use for the characters.

funny for years I played all males, until I made my first chick toon. At that point I understood. It's much more ummm pleasing watching the backside of a chick toon for X levels. Especially in GW2 ;) 

It's a game. Some of us are adults playing a game. So, trying to make a valid point about anything related to a game is difficult to say the least. 

 In regard to the topic, if you equate it to playing with action figures as a child, did you play with G.I. Joe or Barbie dolls? Video games are just digital representations of make believe that we used to use our imaginations to create as children.

I also wonder why insecure guys worry about this, as if they have to make sure the avatar they are flirting with and giving free stuff to (I actually got some free stuff on my female Sylvari), actually has a female behind it or something. 

Pretty much, and then comes the stalking. :P

I play both, though mostly male characters.

Still mostly insecure males who worry over this most it seems?

Who cares, it is a game, an MMO, not a dating service.  I treat every person as the gender of their avatar, even if I know they real gender, it doesn't matter.  Suspension of disbelief, have fun, it is a game, if you are using it as a dating service you may need to step outside more or stick to people who want to use the game in that manner.

I just treat them as people, and call them as I see them, I won't call a female character "Dude" or anything.

Though I will change how I address them if they actually correct me ("I'm not a she!").

I roll a male toon 99% of the time, but the other 1% of the time I roll a female for one reason.  Males (for some reason) are more willing to help a female character.  There are numerous times I've been a female toon and  'dudes' will offer free stuff, gold, coins, or any kinda of help.  While my 'male' character is ignored, kills stolen and etc etc..  It's quite the funny social commentary.

Art imitates life. ;)

Hmm, I don't know, I think that analogy would work better if it was "G.I. Joe or G.I. Jane", considering we get the same "playset" and "accessories" with either of them :p.

I can't lie, I probably would have played with a bad ass Demi Moore combat doll as a kid heh.

As a male, do you play a male character or a female one?

If you're a female, male or female charater?

 

It's a game not life.You are free to play and create what ever u want.People having issues with female and male creations as their charachter in a game they have serious problems in real life as well.

Iam male and i always create a female character.Why?Because it's a game and i like sexy female characters instead of males.

So yeah if you have problems creating a female character in a game then something is wrong.

Now i've no time to play any kind of on line games, but previously i'd done both kind of chars: male and female. On my last guild (on Eden Eternal) male with a female har was called G.I.R.L.: Guy In Real Life. Guy at 50... lol

After all MMO are games, so use your fantasy.

Or, better:

You can chooose

Not to lose

Find your groove

And be a winner

agreed :D 

Tho i never did have G.I. Joe... I usually played with Action Man, Batman and LEGO. 

I sometimes play as a G.I.R.L.   (Guy in Real Life) but more often than not, especially for my main or first character I roll a male avatar.

Also seems weird on voice chat to hear a deep booming male voice coming from a character named "Michelle"
