I mostly play female when I play any game where I can choose gender. I don't know why but I like playing female.. Does it make me gay? no.

One of other reason is because I'm a bastard. I prey on the lonely virgins out on the net and get them to give me free shit because they assume... Female sprit=female on the other side of the connection.

The funny thing is alot of real females use male characters to avoid people like that. I've met at least 3 females who were using male characters in online games.

Another side to this is some players might also use a character that is a different gender then themself because of in game reasons. Like for instance in PSO and PSU your gender has an effect on your stats or in PSO's case even what race/class you can have(Example if you wanted a newman hunter it had to be female). Not to mention gender specific equipment in some games.
