Especially since you changed to a male Lala... Lalas in general are fairly gender neutral. My main is a female Lala, and people think I'm a guy from time to time because she is fairly androgynous.
I think the majority of male players that play female characters have no real issue with females playing as males. I hope you'll understand that your experiences are likely due to not encountering situations where people don't speak up about it.
Actually it is the opposite (according to what the guys wrote in their applications). Most guys (even if playing female character -no matter the reasoning behind-) "prefers" (in most cases it actually meant want/just look for) girls playing female characters as well. There is a minority that are completely find with a girl playing males cuz they are playing females.
Can confirm with personal experience. It's one of the reasons I stay away from voice chat nowadays, because when I'm playing a male character and jump on voice chat, some guys can get hostile. If they don't try to start hitting on you, I mean.Actually it is the opposite (according to what the guys wrote in their applications). Most guys (even if playing female character -no matter the reasoning behind-) "prefers" (in most cases it actually meant want/just look for) girls playing female characters as well.

Also, pls more success stories, I need my fill of romance.
Ok, I'm going to say this one last thing and I'm done with this whole discussion about males and females X_X. The woman that I'm with should not expect me to fantasia to a male simply to be around her. Nor will I ever want someone to fantasia to be female to be around me. I will continue to put my ad, or whatever you want to call it, up every now and again in the hopes it catches the eye of my soulmate (should she be playing FF14). I honestly don't really play that much anymore. As I have stated time and time again, this to me is a longshot that I honestly expect nothing to happen. I don't know what else to say really. I have said what I wanted earlier and I don't need to keep explaining myself or rehashing something that I think I made quite clear. With that I think I'm done I'm too tired as of writing this to come up with anything more. The bottom line is, I don't mind if the woman I'm with plays a male character. I prefer woman though and if someone has a problem with that, by all means steer clear of me.
Server: Mateus
Willing to transfer?: Maybe, but I have a house, great friend and a pretty awesome FC here so there would really need to be something special for that to happen.
Personal Interests: Anime, Movies, Technology, Books, Comedy, Giant Robots, and of course FF14 and other games.
Play schedule: PST usually 5:30pm-12:00am Mon-Fri and usually free weekends.
What kind of gamer are you: Midcore/casual. I would be a hardcore raider but my work schedule seems to disallow this in the aether group as I have found the majority of people are EST time zone. But, my friends are awesome people so I don't mind.
Character Race/Gender: All of the races and genders, Seriously I get bored and change a lot or change it based on different aesthetics of a glamour I may like. I am Male IRL.
Main Class: RDM/All casters, also tank (but need to get those guys caught up),I Can heal buuuut, its scary for everyone...like if they gave me a healer dagger to stab with I would be a much better healer.
Do you care if the player in real life is not the same gender as their character?: If you just want to be friends then I do not care if you are male or female in real life. If you are hoping to develop this into something more serious beyond the game then unfortunately you would need to be Female.
Character Race: Any race or gender I do not care what a person plays it is their money and time they are free to do what they desire.
Dislikes: Flakes, liars, "know it alls", people who lack a sense of humor, people who cannot have a discussion and accept the other side of the argument even if they vehemently disagree.
Goals for the game: Currently to upgrade to a medium size house, Knock out some old raid content and try to do current raid content, Level up all my classes to 70. do stuff that is fun and hang out with people.
Goals for the marriage union: find a friend or partner who I can hang with regularly and maybe more. someone I can ring stock and drive insane =) jk...maybe...
If you don't like hearing people speak against what you're saying then stop coming back to the thread basically complaining about how you're still alone and sad for the nth time. No one takes pity as you can see. You say you won't conform to someone else, then don't expect them to conform to you. If you are uncomfortable with a male character at least that means you aren't looking past it and instead just tolerating it meaning you already failed too. If you yourself aren't willing to change under any circumstances then you are close-minded and only thinking of yourself. Okay, but don't get all saddy saddy.
You can keep making excuses like "Oh G.I.R.L." but that doesn't change the fact that it's not 2003 anymore and many many others have succeeded and the fact that there are likely 10-20 women you're around on a daily basis in-game.
Lastly, don't get upset with me because I'm "hammering" things into your head. I only responded to you because you came back. Again. With nothing changed. And I choose to give advice straightforwardly. It's like tough love(No, I don't actually love you..). And if you've been wishing for 21 years for something to happen and it hasn't and you're bringing attention to yourself about it then expect someone to want to "hammer" different outlooks into your head.
Or you can just ignore everyone. If so, keep looking. Good luck.

Preference and expectation are not the basis of understanding or acceptance. The majority of those people who prefer or expect one thing, are just fine with the other. To say otherwise without any actual basis behind it is misleading, and is bound to cause undue pressure among the player population for no real reason.Actually it is the opposite (according to what the guys wrote in their applications). Most guys (even if playing female character -no matter the reasoning behind-) "prefers" (in most cases it actually meant want/just look for) girls playing female characters as well.

To elaborate on what I said before since it didn't seem to be understood... You aren't going to hear people everywhere tell you that they're fine with your decisions. People accept things and move on, and when they do they usually don't tell anyone about it. The people who get upset about other peoples decisions are what you call the vocal minority. They do not represent the majority, but the majority doesn't make a habit of vocalizing acceptance, and so the minority's voice is louder.
I have been sitting here for a bit wracking my brain with how to properly respond to any of this without getting angry. Seeing, of course you could probably care less responding to post pointless so I'm thinking I shouldn't even bother responding to you at all to be honest. Know that you sound very ignorant though and seeing as you know nothing about me it just compounds that view even harder. *facepalm*. I will simply ignore you and move on as you are not worth my time to get myself riled up over things you SIMPLY....DO....NOT....UNDERSTANDIf you don't like hearing people speak against what you're then stop coming back to the thread basically complaining about how you're still alone and sad for the nth time.

PS I'm trying to compose myself with as much restraint as I can humanly muster and apologize if I offend anyone in any way shape or form.
With that I'm done, I will not be responding or filling your ego any further so with that I say good day sir.
Please stop this you are derailing the thread at this point.
