So many female characters

[Soge01]

I usually do it because I just enjoy what I create with female characters, like the current hairstyle I have. It's just hard for me to get into making male characters when glamour wise their clothes can be a little plain for me. Otherwise I would have made one by now for fun.

I have 3 female and 4 male characters on 2 accounts. Also all my retainers is guys. Not sure about this ratio females out numbering males. Seems to me guy have just as many outfits as females. I nnow all veteran reward outfits was based off guy characters from other final fantasy games.

In this game female character looks extremely beautiful, but in wow you pick something that looks more like cool or funny because female characters in that game is that not that pretty.

I honestly play as a female character because there are TONS more options for glamours, and honestly, when trying to figure out a glamour(always zoomed in at this point) prefer the close up of a female to a male. >.>

It seems more like people tend to pick the gender that more aesthetically "fits" the given race. At least that I've noticed. That's why you tend to see more male roes vs female, and more female miqo vs male. I usually like to pick a gender that'll (to me) fit the class I'll main more but it also depends on the creation options in a given game. The census gives some interesting trends in gender and race distribution that kind of goes against the generic expectation, like when people say miqo'te make up the majority of chars when they really don't. It's all about visibility I suppose.

im a dude that plays female characters for me the main reason is cuz i can make better looking female characters than male and because imo the gear for females are better.

Why does it seem like 3/4 of players chose female characters? In other MMOs this doesn't seem to be the case.

Because you're human and your personal biases shape your perception of the world around you.

Oh my god, people outside of my control are doing things they like. Better complain on the official forums about it!
