I used to use a female character because i believe the class armors looked better on that gender. After fighting a losing battle with the girlfriend, I turned on my monitor to find my phial used and at the character recreation screen up with a note of "change it or else no more sexy time."
Although ridiculous, i did it. Mans got needs...a mans got needs..
I play female characters because they got better customization options in most games. Male characters seem to have so little customization options that is almost like "whats the point" Also Female Characters seem to have the better looking armor as Males get armor that looks plain. I will too use the reason of "I prefer to look at a female char for hours than a male char" its not a illogical reason nowadays either, the character models are starting to look more realistic as gaming graphics become more advance.
But I act myself when talking so you wouldn't know I play a female character unless you saw my character in the case when talking in FC chat. I will not act female because that just isn't right, I only bring this up because I do know there are people who do this sometimes.
I used to play guys in everything until I read a PvP comic that was essentially the "staring at an ass all day" argument. I thought that sounded reasonable, being the pervert that I am. ^^;
I played in 1.0 as a male char, and started ARR with the same. I never had any plans for an in game sex change. But then something awful happened. I got into the mid 40's with my BRD, and bought the Coliseum body and legs. If you've ever seen those pieces on a male character,then you know what I'm getting at. It looked TERRIBLE! I mean 100% god awful. I couldn't stand to look at my ugly BRD with that set, and even though both pieces are BiS at 44, I reverted to some lesser armor.
Then, I leveled WHM next. Again, in the mid 40's, and WHM AF on my char. Once again, it looked awful. But on the same day I got my short shorts, I also got my fantasia potion. I took one look at my WHM in AF and knew right away it would look miles better on a female char. Glad to say I was right about that. My ugly as sin WHM became cute overnight!
In single player games, I always play as a female char when I can. If I'm gonna have to stare at something for hours on end, it might as well be easy on the eyes! But this is the first time I've played as a female in an MMO. I had to make a "I have a penis in real life" macro to keep the creeps away. I feel really bad for real women playing this game, it's pathetic how many men are looking for a real life girlfriend in an MMO.
Because I feel female inside.
1. Boobies.
2. Boobies.
3. Boobies.
4. My main is usually always a guy though, so the females I make are alts.
5. Boobies.
I originally intended to make a male character, but all the faces just look weird/wrong/derpy. So I said eff it and made a female character.
I like how no-nonsense female highlanders are. They move like they mean it and have a posture that, unlike male Miqote, isn't a caricature of confidence.
Basically, they have really big boobs. http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/t/h/thumbsupplz.png
My first character is always male....however I end up making a female alt shortly after and they end up being my main character. I chose my little kitty girl because I found it funny that this little girl was beating the crap out of mobs as a pugilist....and then I found some of the armor sets pugilist gets as they're leveling...:rolleyes:
Mine was originally based of my mithra in XI, I do have a male alt however for when I'm bored with endgame.
