I have 2 male chars and 4 female chars, (I share an account with a friend) one of every type. Male Ranger, Female Elementalist, Male Warrior, Female Monk, Female Mesmer, and Female Necromancer. I don't have any particular reason for doing so, it's just how it turned out. My Ranger is cool, my Monk is cool, they're all cool, and being an old D&D player, it doesn't really matter what gender they are to me...

Just how much they kick ass. ^_^

Oh yeah, and I'm a dude. I have a goatee and everything. ^_^

And, statistically, 99% of the time, they're MALE.

Conversely, the people who handle getting blood drawn the best are women, particularly the women in the post-partum labor & delivery ward. They just gave BIRTH, for chrissakes. They're not going to care about a tiny needle prick.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled topic ....

men can deal with trauma better. men can be stronger and faster. women can multi-task better. the have better endurance. they are more intelligent.

that's why they dominate math and science.....

1. Free stuff
2. Easier to get groups
3. I can entertain myself by dancing when there is nothing to do
4. It makes me feel sexy
5. Because having all male charcters just because you are a guy is a boring excuse and homophobic

I like to look and act cute.

I don't see how not making characters of the opposit gender makes you "Homophobic".

Frankly, I can't stand to be in a car full of men, I'de rather have a few women around no matter their age. Men are boring and ugly

You misunderstood me, I said if that is your only reason for not making one. It was more of a speculation than fact, but nonetheless agreeable

Yeah, I have to agree. I have 2 Female & 1 male. If they had a guy that looked UBER cool, then I might pick one next time. But I'd rather look at a chick.

Sorro Sparrowhawk was created for my twelve year old granddaughter to play when she visited, until my daughter and I decided that the game was inappropriate for her age (too much BS in the towns). The character's appearance (small stature, pigtails, and running around barefooted) was designed to simulate a twelve year old. Didn't think she would get hit on. She did -- my bad.

Wound up using her as an advance scout and to farm for items for my other characters and for my team's characters.

Wanted to try a necro to get a feel for the class, since my youngest daughter/teammate runs a necro. A name popped into my mind and I just HAD to build a character around it, appearance creation limitations notwithstanding. Wanted a toon to look like a wicked stepmother type from an old Disney animation, a vampire, and something that has died but still lives. I think I've got it, and haven't seen an uglier, evil looking necro anywhere in the game. NOBODY hits on Auntie Acid.

I usually refer to machines (such as cars) as females, so it seemed natural to have my character a female. She's my baby <3 <3 <3

Maxiemonster · Nov 24, 2005, 05:03 PM // 17:03

Very simple: Male Monk looks retarted. He looks brainless, he's fat, and the armors don't look cool on the male Monk.

unamed player · Nov 24, 2005, 05:18 PM // 17:18

Considering how much time you invest in your characters...would you not rather stare at a female ass? Like, we all have our gender preferences as men and women, but me as a man..personally..if im going to have to stare at the backside of my character for hours..its going to be an attractive female..not a male. Also, the female characters are incredibly hot for a bunch of pixels and the only time you can see the female characters in good resolution is when you have your own. Ok shabby excuse..i like women alright. K thx bye

Nibbler · Nov 24, 2005, 05:44 PM // 17:44

I am a bloke with a female char... The reason for it? When I first created my char the name "Lord Nibbler" was taken, I wasn't the most sober I have ever been so "Lady Nibbler" was born.

Numa Pompilius · Nov 24, 2005, 05:54 PM // 17:54

I think unamed player summed up the reason so many men run female avatars very well. It isn't more complicated than that.

Hell Marauder · Nov 24, 2005, 05:54 PM // 17:54

If you are a man and have to look at a character's behind all day, who would like that character to be? Another man or a super model? And all female characters in GW look like supermodels.

UltimaXtreme · Nov 25, 2005, 12:44 AM // 00:44

only thing i play is female monk, male monk is a fat disgusting human mongoloid with crappy hair

I think it's sort of funny that people were using the "Female Backside > Male Backside" argument before capes were togglable.

You're presuming that everyone is/was guilded. I knew quite a few examples of players disbanding themselves from guilds just to avoid the cape cover-up.

My toons are female. Am I desperate? Hell no! I married a real-life swiss/german hottie 7 months ago, and yes, she's also a PC-gamer

Yes, but did you disband yourself from your guild because of cape-cover? Probably not. By the way, the guys who did need to leave their room more than once a month.

I stand by my original point.
