Male

Have both Male and Female Chars

Male -
Warrior - Main Char
Monk
Ranger

Female
Derv
Ele
Necro
Rit
Mes (Cause the males really do look gay)

I, like most, choose the profession sex by what their armors look like. Some just look better on male then female and vice-versa.

Having a look at the pole, it reminds me of the Madonna song called "What it feels like for a...(girl)" from her GHV2 album. I've already posted, but I suppose I might as well post my characters summed up.
I'm male: I've got 6 male characters, 2 female. One permanent female (PvE)

Ranger (my first ever character) - male
Warrior - female
Monk - female
Dervish - female
ParagonE - female
Necromancer - female

I don't have any female characters.....i do really like the look of the female necros though.

Zeek Aran · Oct 21, 2007, 05:30 AM // 05:30

12 chars... why would I have all one gender? D:

Male with all male characters. But when that female ele walks past me with hardly anything on....

OMG

Really curious note:

- 70% of the females play females characters only.
- 20% of the males play males characters only.

That means it's more important for a woman to play a character of her own gender. Not too important for men, or we just like see female characters in action, because they are beautiful, or just compensating the real life where "heroes" are normally men.

// Maybe the reason is men like too much that "thing", you know, the "thing" Jenifer Lopez has "there".

Male - 3 pvp characters, only 1 is male. 6 pve characters, only 1 is male. And guess what? I have Elementalist girl with ANCIENT ARMOR (so it has more cloth that all other armors together), my monk has CANTHAN ARMOR (a lot of cloth too), same goes for Mesmer (Ancient...) and Ranger (ancient, lol), both females. And of course my Ritualist is female too... But okay, it's 15k Kurzick, so I'm perverted 12-years old kid. But hey, my assassin is male ;d

Male and male.

I had some female characters, but I either deleted them or remade them male.

Male, with an even division:

Mesmer: Female. Much greater division of armour choices, while the males are mostly pretty same-ey. Certainly when the character was made - and reinforced by the elite Canthan armours.

Warrior: Female. Initial build needed the energy from Glad's, and given the choice of a partially dressed female and a barely dressed male, I took the former. Quickly switched into more covering armours in Factions.

Monk: Male. Didn't like the female hairstyles in Prophecies, armours are similarly same-ey for both to my eye, and it was about time to make a male character.

Necromancer: Male. Can't quantify the reasons why, but the female Necroes just didn't work for me.

Ranger: Female. This one was pretty much a coin toss - one could possibly pin the blame on the Shing Jea armour and first trying out the character during the Factions preview weekend.

Elementalist: Male. Essentially another coin toss - I think it came down to liking the pattern on the (nonelite) Canthan armour, and the male version just has more of that pattern on it.

Ritualist: Female. See notes on the Warrior about level of dress - the Ritualist may be one of the few professions where the female armours are, on average, better dressed (in terms of being more covered) than the males.

Assassin: Male. The large amounts of pale skin shown by most female armours just seems silly for a class that in theory relies on stealth.

Paragon: Female. You know, I was considering a male paragon. I was thinking that maybe the correct matching of torso and leggings could get rid of the midriff without it making it look like the slightest updraft would result in calls for brainbleach. And then I saw the dance. And by this point I'd noticed that pre-Nightfall I had an even gender balance and figured I'd continue it, and...

Dervish: Male. Originally going to be female, but I found I liked the male armours (especially the Ancient) better. Plus there was the dances issue again.

That said, my three highest-experience characters are all female (Mesmer, Warrior, Ranger) and the other two aren't exactly stragglers, but I think that's got more to do with which professions I enjoy more than that I'm playing those characters more because they're female.

RedNova88 · Oct 21, 2007, 09:12 AM // 09:12

Male with both male and female characters. Although I do have quite a few more females than males. I suppose it's because I've been a gamer all of my life and I've gotten sick of the main characters in many games ending up being the manly man stereotype.

Not to mention I think a lot of the male armor and animations look a little goofy and uncoordinated, Warriors in specific.

**Marty Silverblade** · Oct 21, 2007, 09:25 AM // 09:25

I'm male, and generally make my chars male, then female, then male, and so my next will be female. I think the 12 year old kids need a life if they spend their time staring at a bunch of pixels resembling an elementalist with no armor on. Seriously though, the main factors for me are what I have already (genderwise), the armor (seen the male ele stuff?), and to a lesser extent the dances (male ele gets a chicken dance wtf?)

I'm 17, and it was a joke. Get a grip.

Ooh, I hardly think Marty'd lower himself to taking a shot at you, specifically Dan...
But, the sad truth is that there is, more likely than not, a bunch of sad little people who've never seen a girl, in the flesh for real, who get off to their pixellated Eles.
Seriously, girls aren't that hard to talk to

Anyho, yeah, I'm male and like male characters better... I only roll females on occaision for PvP chars.

Now... Dan, Marty - let us return to the campfire and drill into peeps how bad Balthazar/Mending are...ok?

Interesting poll results.

I realize that some people are just pixel fappers, but I kinda don't blame some males for making female characters. I find some of the male professions to be quite ugly...

Like male warriors look like choads and why is it that male mesmers have to be pudgy?

I mean, if I were male I wouldn't want to be a male warrior. Bleh.

Norgu is pudgy, but he doesn't use the standard male mesmer mesh. Male mesmers are quite athletic and well defined once the shirt comes off

They've always looked like very stylish pudgy guys with clothes on to me.
I dunno though.
