How would identify a female player guy/girl?

[Aeyis]

Okay I left this thread this morning why does it have ten more pages

Just let this die

Noooo, it gives me something to read while crafting.

Really? Then why does my husband play a female Lallafel? And just a head's up, my female Miqo'te is bonded with her.

I'd love to see your logic try to explain his reasoning. I dare you.

He can't.. he is just another bigot. /thread

Can we get a Moderator in here already to lock this down please?

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.

This made me super happy to read



That's a safe call, and she'd better be careful not to mention that she's ACTUALLY a girl irl, otherwise she's just an "attention whore" exploiting her gender for favors.
Also make sure she jumps around a lot just to drive home that she's a dude. I hear they tend to do that.

I've learned so much from this thread.

ROFL Indeed. I think my favorite part of all this is she doesn't claim to be a girl in game, but when members of the FC get on Teamspeak and hear her voice they are like "Wait what??? Who is this???" Her usual reply: "I am the wife of Faelandaea. Don't get any ideas."

I must be the luckiest guy in the world. At least I feel like I am.

But yeah she does act obnoxious off and on just to act like a typical guy in a game - and as a result the hormonal teenager invasion leaves her alone thinking she really is a guy XD Mission accomplished XD

In my opinion boys do that because they always saw gaming as their "domain" and are in denail that we can kick their asses in games XD

Get over it those in denail, we are here to stay.

Deal with it XD

Well, I am definitely not in denial, so not all guys fit this category (see above for my reasoning). But I definitely understand where you get your view from, due to how most people do act these days. My sweetie maintains the "one of the guys" status simply to not be harassed by guys like that. She doesn't deserve harassment. She doesn't deserve sexual expletives or anything of the like being driven at her because of the fat (and yes it is fact) that 98% of the male population in game think that when a girl plays a game that it's to pick up guys or impress them.

And when i am in game, myself, as far as I am concerned, all avatars in my circle of friends are guys . . . because we're all friends and we hang out, and I could care less what their gender is IRL. To me it's just pixels on a screen, and as long as the player behind the keyboard does their job so I can do mine - well - beyond that it really doesn't matter, does it?

As far as pursuing romance in a game, which I honestly think was a huge motivation behind this thread getting started in the first place (like it or not, OP, that's what it looks like), I think it is always generally a bad idea. We game to get away from real life drama. This includes relationship drama. I have a friend in game who's been trying really hard to get married, supposedly because he just wants "a role-play partner to adventure with", and he apparently has a GF in real life . . . yet when someone else took him up on the offer to marry, then he later on found out that the person was a guy in real life, he called off the "engagement". This obviously confused me because I figured they were doing it for the Chocobo or whatever. If you have someone IRL, then why worry so much about finding a girl player in game?

All of this just keeps adding up to trouble. Really, people should quit worrying about romance and gender in a game - just equip your skills, do your bloody jobs and treat an MMO for what it is, a teamwork cooperative environment where we advance together, not romance together.

So apparently this thread is still going after 24 hours...

As someone who read everything in this thread since this morning since it was a light day at work up until now that I got home from work I can conclude that....this thread never made any progress even after 39 pages. Just plain ol bickering about each other's beliefs. Aaahhhh.....*sips wine* just another day in the forums...

Oh op: how do you find out? Easy. you can't unless you meet the person. You want reality here in final fantasy...where a lot of the people here are running away from reality. This is their haven please respect that. This is such a nice place to know people for their personality instead of how they look and such. Maybe you'll be confident enough about your "preference" one day that you wouldn't care if you meet an amazing girl or guy.

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.

To be honest I don't care what people are and do. I'm just curious and want to know more about this topic. Besides I'm a very kind-hearted person. I always respect people no matter who they are or what they do. I still don't get why people think I'm discriminating them just bcuz of a curiosity.
