How would identify a female player guy/girl?

It is extremely rare for a female to play as a male toon. So yes that raises eyebrows too.

I would venture that more of those male toons you run across are played by female characters than you know. In my experience, there tends to be a 50-50 split on whether a female will play as male or female.

It's more like 5% to 10% of women play as men.

Aw, you can come up with statistics to prove anything, Red. Forfty percent of all people know that.

Someone said it's 50% so I corrected them...

You may want to reread what I said. For a refresher, this is what I said:

"In my experience, there tends to be a 50-50 split on whether a female will play as male or female."

So female gamers that I personally know tend to be a 50-50 split, not 50% of all female gamers play men. You didn't correct anything. You just threw your ego around.

I wasn't even gonna reply to this horrid thread, but I just want to say, if we had more people like you two running about and being friends with the people of the world, would be such a better place to hang out in. This is the ideals needed, who cares! We're all people, humans, and living beings. That is the only thing that should ever matter.

This game seems to have a really high percentage of females that play male characters, at least in my personal experience. I think it's because this game offers a lot of "bishie" male options instead of the usual MMO fare. I know when I was a male character, I gave him kind of a young, pretty face. That's not to say that I myself won't play a more muscular male (in fact, I'm planning on being a male Au Ra) but many women (again, in my personal experience) seem to be put off by it and would much rather play a male that's not a hulking pile of testosterone.

My daughter is edging closer and closer to subscribing because of this(meaning I'm closer to having another 15 bucks a month going to SE <sigh>).

Possible. If I wasn't attached to the male lalafell sprite I've got I would've had a male highlander. I might've gone male Au Ra. Though I don't mind FemRoe or female highlander, I've preferred male miqo'te as well. So of all the possible "characters" I could be I've got 4 males vs 2 females.

How can your "correct" them when you're pretty much just making shit up?

I'm quoting studies. You two are telling me I'm wrong because of your own limited experiences. So stop stroking your own egos.
