How would identify a female player guy/girl?

[Gramul]

Of course it does, that's what the thread is about.
How do identify those pretending they're girls. So what's the point of asking them when you know their answer?

Well, what's the point of knowing the answer?

Why do you need to identify a female character as a guy or girl? Are you looking for a potential mate? There are easier methods.

u make it sound like im desperate. Again to all of ya'll. That is not wat I'm aiming for here. I didn't put this topic just so i can hit on girls, get a girlfriend, get laid, etc. It just popped in my head, and i got curious and wanted ya'll opinion on it. so far I've hear it all, and thanks for sharing your opinions. it all makes sense to me now. Even though I don't like how ppl play the opposite sex cuz it doesnt feel real to me, that is just my opinion and ppl dont give a shit about other ppl's opinion. so why make a fuss about all this "hitting on girls" thing when its just a curiosity topic?

I personally have no issue with women saying their gender. I don't think it's for attention, it does come up during normal conversations. It's a pretty ridiculous statement to say many other women think that.

Actually me and my female friends are part of that "plenty" he talks of. It's okay if your gender comes up in a conversation that is on topic, but when people post stuff like "come to my gaming channel, hot chick gamer!", yeah, that's attention. When they shout "Will anyone carry this poor dragoon girl with them to clear Odin ; ;? Will give TIGHT hugs in bikini", that's attention and trying to take advantage of your gender. And sadly there's many of them out there.

I guess for me it comes down to:

I like people for who they are, not what they are.

I meet a Male Miqo'te or a Female Lalafell and the first thought that runs though my head is not 'omg are they really a guy/girl', it's 'this person is cool and I like them'. I can honestly say I have friends in game and I know their character, and I call them 'he' or 'she' based off what their character in game is, but I could care less if they are really a guy or girl in real life. In some instances I don't know what their real gender is and guess what, this might be a shock... I don't care.

If they want to tell me that's fine and up to them, but I honestly don't care. I like them for them, their personality and the way they act and treat others in game. Who cares who or what they are, as long as they are a good person they are fine with me.

You gotta tone it down a few notches Aisustrong. Sarcastic thought is sarcastic though.

it's very aggravating seeing people act like "normal" is the only thing that exists
especially when they have both been told multiple times by multiple people in just this thread, but also in just the very nature of the internet and it's spread of culture and information

hahaha well in my opinion i actually dont like guys play as girls cuz i find it weird and wrecks the balance of gender population. for example, say if you're marrying a female character, would u marry them knowing the player as a guy or a girl? to me i know i wudnt with a guy "shudders". so im thinking if there is a way to find out without having to ask them straight up lol.

We don't have marriage, we have eternal bonding, which can be done between friends.

I'm just going to put this quote back out there for anyone who missed it:

Of course it does, that's what the thread is about.
How do identify those pretending they're girls.

You make it sound as if men who play as women character are such a big threat…
To me this thread just seem to be about men afraid of flirting with 'fake' females and afraid that doing this would suddenly change their sexuality or how people see them. /shudders

You don't need to make a female character to enjoy what you're looking at all day. Just look at another character.
...
Simply put, if your character is a female then I will treat you as if you were a female in game. I will tell you that you look pretty and flirt with you. Just play your sex already, it's 2015. Be normal.

Please do stay away from any female character because you seem like the exact creepy reason why some women players have to roll a male character to enjoy their game. Other players are not here to be appealing to you. People will roll the gender that they want and no among of disrespect from you to them will ever change that.

It's 2015, get real, there is no 'normal'.

u make it sound like im desperate.

No, YOU make it sound like you're desperate.

I'm just going to put this quote back out there for anyone who missed it:

That's just creepy... don't get me wrong I know people meet in MMO's and fall in love and get married and that is awesome when it happens!!

But if people are specifically playing MMO's to hit on people etc and don't like that guys play girls or vice verse - then go to a dating site and look for people there. I play this game to have fun, not to get hit on or harassed because players like that I play what I play, so feel its their job to make a move on me.

And no just because I play a female Miqo'te and just because I dress skimpy doesn't mean I'm asking to get hit on. It's because I like that look and it's how I dress her.

Do people like you even try? Seriously, it took me 30 seconds and a single google search to find things that prove you wrong. All reports/studies/stats/articles showing a higher percentage than 25%. Anywhere from 35% tp 45%.http://www.statista.com/statistics/2...ers-in-the-us/

Also, you can't really speak for other girls. Considering you are a guy. I personally have no issue with women saying their gender. I don't think it's for attention, it does come up during normal conversations. It's a pretty ridiculous statement to say many other women think that.

I guess the 25% was a bit dated. It seems to be around 33% now. The 40% just doesn't seem right though. If you look at these articles a little closer that 40% is never directly linked with MMOs. They artificially inflate that 40% by including "mobile games". Middle aged female gamers have skyrocketed since Farmville and Candy Crush were released.

And, I'm not talking about normal conversations or correcting people. I thought I already said that. There's a difference between being annoyed that some guy is calling you dude and telling everyone in a PUG that you are a girl for absolutely no reason whatsoever.
