I would suspect (and hope) that it was a man who wrote this...

I don't meet that many women who are eager to explicitly and unnecessarily reinforce negative stereotypes.

someone that i have no idea who they are, in a pm, asking me if I am so and so (the so and so was my real life pet name)

that had to be the most surreal thing ever. as I have never told anyone online my true identity ever.

I've met some aggressive females (*cough*Taurucis*cough* <3) but that was just... plain weird. I don't know if I'm the only one here, but sometimes it's easy to tell if someone is male or female in-game just by the way they type - in general, females tend to be more polite and use a lot of smileys while males seem to use netspeak a lot, and then comes the vocabulary and such. In that case, I'm dead sure the player was male, but I could be wrong too. Approx. convo recap:

Monk: OMFG! THE BOSS DIDNT DROP HIS ****ING GOLD! cheap ***** M-F!!
Me: why being so angry?... >_>
Monk: ive been sitting here for too long and i didnt get to go out last night so im pissy
Me: it's up to you to take breaks dude... (maybe because I'm male, but I assume everyone's male by default)
Monk: im a girl btw
Me: oops, sorry >_<;;

Mobs later, after more "OMFG GO ALREADY", "ONLY ONE PERSON GOES IN!!!!", "PULL"... "lol 300 pts away, COME ON COME ON!"

7/8 wiped, I was the only one remaining with res sig; I was asked to res, monk saying they weren't going to aggro (and god I knew it was gonna happen). I res, monk dies. I go emo and run in the mob. We res at shrine, 20ft. away from the mob.

Monk: OMFG WTF... NOT THE LAST MOB!!
Me: will you calm the **** down? It's normal to get killed, hell even wipe. not the end of the world.
Monk: i cant calm down im female

Me, in alliance chat: hey guys, I just got the lamest excuse ever for impatience and general pissy attitude.

Anyways, back to strange things...

Once again related to gender. After saying my real name (Xander) in a ToPK or FoW run, way before NF, I was asked the following: "is Xander a female or male name?" asked by what I guess an English-speaking person. I dunno for you guys, but to me it's clearly male... it's not unisex like Cameron.

I was also called "Mr. Xanders" (emphasis on the "s") and "Xandra" on a Vent server, of which I was kicked for "not being in the guild" or something relatively before our Deep group failed.

And just sitting in GToB AD1 will result in strange things, one of which I'm reminded quickly: "eles are the best rapists!!!!". I have the screenshot somewhere.

I set out to create the most beautiful Fem character i could. Why ? Becuase i enjoy looking at her. And it's great fun making her look appealing.

6zillion people have played Tomb Raider ? And why would it be any different ?

Lara Croft is a Virtchar as well. Plus a endless list of other female game chars

It's hardly creepy, only to those who are possibly either insecure about their own sexuality or just stupid.

Well once in LA I saw a guy spamming

"Why do fat women always have to scream at the top of their lungs!"

I figured I'd PM him and get a rise out of him.

Me: Seriously, they're always screaming and cussing at their kids.
Me: The Government should have a weight-child abuse law.
Him: I know right? Now i'm pissed at Anet!
Me: Hmm?
Him: Why did they have to add fat chars???
Me: Which chars are fat?
....
Me: Hello
Him: Hi.
Me: They added fat chars?
Him: Yes.
Me: Where?
......
Me: What fat chars?
......

Then I got ignore listed.

I thought i'd atleast get a good rant out of him but, I guess he was just insane.

You would be suprised by the amount of male players saying they are female.

Dear god.....only day before yesterday in Kam 1 (of all places) I was having an argument with the G/F (real G/F....I hasten to add ) after she had flung an accusation at me. Just before the accusation however,I had been looking to sell something to someone and had pressed 'whisper' in the trade / party box. As we weren't using the usual Vent, in my blind rage I hammered in to the chat box and fired off......

" WELL YOU PROBABLY THINK I'M F***ING THEM TOO !!!!!!!!!"

Yep....to the guy wanting to buy ectos

So embarassed, however he did say "lol, that's made my day"

"Dom Mesmer looking for Bond Monk for cyber" - Some Mesmer in local chat in Shing Jea.

Also, after I called that I am hexed with Migraine, someone replied: "gods, whats it with women and headaches anyway?"
