How would identify a female player guy/girl?

They're onto us....

We must act!

I'm sorry but I very very rarely run into females. I don't consider mobile games real gamers which ironically I noticed a lot in that department. I hate the fact more companies have gone this route because it brings in "more" income. I know that's being biased but that how I feel on the matter.

I'll tell my FC this. We'll get a good laugh. (about 1/3-1/2 females)
Also, when I tried playing mobile co-op games, most others I met were guys. Sadly, some were so misogynistic that I felt it wisest to pretend I was a guy. Luckily, I don't have to do that in XIV (though I did have some random guy "pinch" my butt and send me a tell asking if I wanted more. I'm gonna guess that guy felt the ban hammer pretty rapidly.) A FC mate of mine even said once, "Wow, I didn't realize this game was such a chick magnet." XDDDD

Wonderful, a thread full of broad generalizations about gender in 2015.

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.

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.

Aww man...!!

I thought my FC was almost all girls until getting on TeamSpeak. XD Just based on the very small sample pool of my FC, I've noticed that the more "normal" a female character's name is, the more likely it is that it's actually a male playing the character. For some reason, it seems that males (at least in my FC) have a tendency to pick actual girls' names for their female characters, while the IRL girls use weird/fantasy-esque names that often don't sound particularly feminine.

Don't forget the housing talk! Heehee, and trying to figure out what interior wall was up in my house! XD

There have actually been studies done on this. Some basic things I remember are that males tend to move their avatars backwards more often, jump with a much greater frequency, tend to stay further distance away from their party members, and tend to choose more traditionally attractive avatars.
