[Fun] Why do you use a male character?

[FritoBandito]

Being as I'm not gay, this cougar needs something to look at while playing this game. Also, male Miqo'te weren't around in 1.0.

I knew a guy who said he played female because he didn't want to watch a man's ass shaking in front of him when he played. I just don't get that...and maybe it's because I play differently...but when I'm moving my character through the game world, I'm not actually looking at my character. I'm looking all around him, or where he's headed, but not AT him. That's not to say I NEVER look at him, but I certainly don't stare at his ass! I've had female characters too, and it's no different. :\

Because I'm a guy! (and because I've played female characters in other MMOs and being hit on by guys got way too uncomfortable after a while).

I hear this a lot, too, and as long as I have played female characters on WoW, I never once got hit on. Ever. No complaints, tho.

The only time I tolerated it was with one game that had a marriage system in place with a lot of perks for couples (bonus experience, free teleports, special buffs, etc). Leveling was so painful since the only way was grinding that people would jump on any bonus they could get. I played a female priestess and had heaps of guys trying to marry me. While it was awkward as always, they'd randomly give me free crap (even rare items) to try to win me over. I made a lot of money with that char xD.

Because people don't know the difference of lalafell genders.

In MMOs (or RPGs in general) I tend to play female characters. I rarely have my characters hit on (not that I go seeking that out anyway). I have only had unwanted advances made towards me on a female character (or any character for that matter) once, and that was on a female Draenei Paladin on Moon Guard. But that was Moon Guard so that doesn't count.
