How would identify a female player guy/girl?

How does my comment to mayhele's statement about "girls in revealing clothes = guys and fully clothed girls = maybe girls" have to do with your husband being a female lala? I did add the words "to me" as in "in my opinion", and nobody gives a shit about other people's opinions these days. So how does this offend you?

My point is that I have evidence proving you wrong. Not every guy plays a female toon to wear skimpy clothes. And you should see the skimpy outfit I wear as arcanist. My point is, don't judge people, it's not your place. And who the hell cares if the folks behind the toon is male or female? It doesn't affect YOUR gameplay, so stop worrying about it.

But..I'm not trying to prove anything here. The only reason I post this topic is because I'm just curious and would like to know and learn about it. I'm also not misjudging anybody at all. I'm too kind to do something like that. Sure I might not like the whole "ppl playing opposite gender cuz it doesnt feel real to me" thing, but thats just me and I keep it to myself. I also didn't expect this thread to be this viral, I was hoping for it to be one of those small threads that dies after 3-4 posts.

Well to be honest i think the simplest answer, the one you knew all along is the only way, just ask someone no harm in asking. And as for the skimpy outfits = blokes. Not 100% true i like to dress my char fully clothed sometimes, as i want a sensible looking Heroine. Not some reject from the cat walk. I also have a freind who makes her bard dressed in the most little as possible. So the whole skimpy outfit works for both genders.

Just ask someone, in a polite manner.

It's ok to be curious. If you simply ask, "Guys, why do you play female toons and vice versa?" that's fine. But when you start inserting your own opinions (whether true or not), it's no longer a question, and can quickly become an argument or offend ppl. That's where you misstepped.

FTR, I play a femme Miqo'te cuz she's named after my RL cat Hexy. My hubby plays a femme Lalla cuz he thinks it's funny to have an adorable little girl tank a huge monster.
