Lol!:D I'm a girl IRL but play highlander male because was totally awkward when guys hit on me when my character was female :o It's like why? :confused:
Now I can look big and tough and sometime make my character wear skimp outfits to weird out the guys :p
As a spud who identifies myself as a Potato Chip, you would first have to wonder "Is it worth it?" If you are A: Role playing then whatever character you see is indeed just that. Whether they be a Miqote, a Lalafell or a Roe. If B: You are just genuinely curious, then just ask. Worse thing that happens is you upset them by asking non-FFXIV related questions and they stop being your friend.
Personally I think you shouldn't worry too much about what's inside their trousers and just worry about if they make you happy.

Just ask ~ Instead of wasting time trying to identify then again there are creeps that role plays as girls. I had someone whom admitted being a guy,RPs as a girl. And when people ask him,he keeps telling them hes a girl. But it's whatever. I really don't care whether the person is male or female.
So....it creeps you out that someone RPs as the opposite gender but you don't really care whether the person is male or female IRL?

When I played FFXI a few of us were talking about a new member in our linkshell, wondering if they were a girl or a guy and we were all coming up with convoluted ways to figure it out. In the middle of this party conversation one of our members asked the player in linkhell chat:
"Hey, when you need to go to the bathroom do you go in the door labeled Gentlemen or the one labled Ladies?"
Which was probably the most discreet way this particular player could ask :p
I'm a girl who plays a lalafell female. I like running and jumping around in game when I'm bored with nothing else to do. I like to wear whatever clothes I choose to wear. (At a time I wore my Kirimu coat for a while, out of happiness from being able to afford one at all.)
I have a friend who loves their pink spring dress pieces. As some may know this isn't a set that's too revealing and they wear it as a glamour. They are a male player on a girl character.
(We also both use :3 as well as other faces sometimes, along with a few other friends who are male and female alike.)
I mean... honestly I think the only sure way to know is to just ask directly. It doesn't have to be the first thing you ask, you can end up getting along with another player who could end up being a male player just because they have a sweet personality by the way.
Not everyone has the same personality or approach/reaction to things so I don't think just one method will help solve the gender of a bunch of people aside from straight out asking. If the gender of other players really matters all that much anyways. ^^;
