Being a man-girl

[NefGP]

It can be a little confusing/misleading at first until you're actually certain lol, but otherwise who cares?

I think it only really bothers all the sad sacks who are looking to hit on someone in an online game... *sigh*

I'm reminded of my own coming crisis with 2.0 - I chose a Miqo'te because while I loved my Elvaan in XI, I always wanted to be a Mithra - but no males (yah I'm a guy btw). But, now that the opportunity is finally coming up, it's not as simple as I thought.

I kinda like my cute little kitty! Gotten attached to her after playing for so long (plus I got my certificate that game with my CE) so it'd be a little sad to change her - especially with the tail and bust sliders being added!

But then again, the Male's are really cool and I'm one of those people who does like to play a character that reflects myself. Total rock & a hard place

Meh I just role as a man'qote for tha tail... dat tail. :3
I've had a couple... uhh awkward moments but they are usually over with 'i'm a dude dood' (or a 'rr' then i'm back in like 20 secs and they're like 'omg are you a guy?!' xD ) and we all have a good laugh and die a little inside...

I don't get it... I take 20 seconds also, and I'm not a guy.

If people don't want to be 'misled' they should stop hitting on people based on their character. Its not like a person PLAYING a miqote is going to be one in real life...or even necessarily be hot in real life, even if they are female.

well I was just, you know, estimating and stuff

I play a kitty but then my name doesn't really hide the fact that I'm a dude hehe, doesn't bother me in the slightest, though people hiding behind female names as well is a little hm xD

I played as a Mithra in FFXI because I wanted to focus on being a Thief, and its stats lended itself to that end. Here, I picked a Highlander because he looks badass. My fiancee also used to think it was weird that I had a female, but it all depends on the role, IMO.

I tend to watch the action, not my ass. But each to our own I suppose.

This^. That is the most stupid excuse i ever heard "If i'm gonna look at someones ass for 7 years it might as well be a female" when half the time your armor covers that part of the body and secondly why would you want look at your chars ass anyway?

I play as female characters mostly because they look "cooler". The male models in most games are just terrible.

I play the character I have on here for two reasons. First of all, I had a Mithra in FFXI and I just liked her. So this character is basically an homage to my Ash cat, even down to her last name. Secondly, I think she looks nice. And if I'm going to have to look at her for 99% of game play, I may as well like looking at her. Granted, I've talked to a grand total of 0 people since I started playing again the other day, but I don't see why it even matters. We're all here to play a game, not join the love connection. If you can't wrap your brain around someone liking their character and not feeling ashamed that it is male or female and they themselves are the opposite, then don't over think it. If they are good people, you enjoying partying with them or whatever, let it go. Just enjoy yourself, that's all this place is for anyway.

I just play male characters, cause I myself am a male. XD
