How would identify a female player guy/girl?

[KiraHayate]

Dont' know if this wud be a good topic to do, but I'm trying to research how wud ppl identify female characters a guy or a girl. So far i cud only think of 2 ways: 1.) their character name or 2.) the way they talk in chat. This might actually be a fun topic and cud help ppl if you're looking for partners for marriage or watever.

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.

I read an entire study on this once, main detail that stuck in my head that actually has helped me spot guy/girl many times, Is that male tend to jump around alot when there moving/bored, were female players dont.

I identify as not only both genders, but also neither.

I remember someone generally saying that that if you see a female character in revealing clothing its a guy. Whereas a female character that's fully clothed might be female irl

If you're so close to someone you're thinking of marrying, you'd better ask first. Regarding population balance: I'm curious where you get the data from, or is it just some perceived "common sense" or anecdote?

Just like in real life you get girly guys and manly girls, it's impossible to be sure from the way they talk or behave in the game. Just give up and ask if you care so much about it.
