Being a man-girl

OP, why do you view males as aggressive jerks, and females as cutesy innocent creatures that can do no wrong ? Why can't a male show non-aggressive, understanding traits in your personal views ? :(

I'd recommend against taking anything on these forums as gospel xD. But yeah, seems you had some bad experiences. In our shell, the amount of people playing their actual gender (both males and females) is actually less than those who don't.

Ah - this is nothing to do with the characteristics of males and females in the real world, it's purely my perspective on how to interact with the virtual world I'm in. A gut feeling, if you like :)

Yeah maybe you're right. Still - enjoyed creating the thread and seeing other people's thoughts! I'm actually looking for a Sargatanas LS, fancy hooking me up? Still a noob, but I'm showing potential :D

This caught my eye aswell. You seem to judge the player base for showing negative attitude towards men playing as women and then show similar stereotyping attitude yourself. :P

But yeah, I haven't see people here judging others for playing characters of "opposite" gender. It's so common it shouldn't come as a shock to anyone.

Could always check out us Onions. I'm not sure what the policy is on advertising linkshells in GD... We're The Star Onions though. We're the first hit when you google that :D. Could always just send me a /tell in game too. I'm always out somewhere fishing.

Ah, sorry if it came across that way - I honestly didn't mean it to. Again, it's just my perspective on how best to interact with the virtual world, there's no slur or judgement on the characteristics of different genders in the real world :)

I have known tons of guys who play female characters (FFXI and FFXIV) and rarely do I see any problems result. Some manthra ribbing occasionally, but everyone is completely accepting and its always a non-issue.

If you're going to be staring at somebody's rear end shuffling back and forth for years, it might as well be a rear end you find attractive, amirite?

I tend to watch the action, not my ass. But each to our own I suppose.
