It's fun to make a cute/sexy female character. I don't care if people consider it "gay" or not "manly" to dress up our female character and make her good. Besides, they make kick ass wallpapers for your Windows desktop.
it's either that, or I come up to a female character in-game, make myself look like a pervert or stalker, take the screenshot, then run away like a freak.

I played a female character in COH because i'm a fan of wonderwoman but i don't think i'm gonna go back to a male for everquest 2.
I just wish the stupid agp model of geforce 6600 would come out so i could get eq2! Yar!
I play a really HOT female in the game and role play a damsel-in-distress to get free stuff. I also wear women's underwear and lipstick and watch Lifetime at the same time. It's a spectacle, just ask my wife!
/horse --beating=OFF
I have a Female/Human going to be a Monk! ( just 1 of my 4 char...the others are male)
I just have a thing about small frame girls that can kick @ss LOL (DarkAngel?) heh
BUT I NEVER RP AS A FEMALE...actually I never RP lol
Everything I say/type in a game is gender neutral anyway...
But that's just me and my personal preference

I always seem to play female characters. Don't ask me why, because I don't know, I just seem to have better ideas for female characters than I do males. I also try and make some sort of back story with my characters, and its rare that I find something suitable for a male, though I do play them occasionally if I think of something.
In game, I just act like myself - I've never seen an MMO that really supports roleplaying, so I don't bother. Nobody else does. If people are dumb enough to think I'm female and start hitting on me, thats their problem, its their own stupid fault. Sometimes I tell people I'm male, sometimes I don't, depends on the situation.
I don't see the problem anyway, its just a game. Why do people care if you're playing a male or female character? I played Chun LI in the Streetfighter games, I played as Lara Croft running around Tomb Raider, my character was Kate Archer in Nobody Lives Forever. Why the big deal when its in an MMO? If you're that bothered, I figure you were hoping for more than a simple friend when you started talking to that Elven Cleric, and like I said above.. thats your own stupid fault.
I also tend to come up with much better and more interesting stories for female characters, which is why I often play them. I'm a big fan of the "warrior maiden" archetype: a young woman who's feminine, sexy, desirable, and at the same time strong and intelligent and independent. Fantasy literature is replete with women like this, from Laurana to Buffy Summers.
As for "do I pretend to be a girl?", I play the character I've created. I don't often (read: ever) go for the sex-obsessed, flirty type of girl, because it's unrealistic - come on, how many women do you know that are like that? Women just aren't as consumed by sex as men are. The woman characters I create tend to be aloof, slightly superior, and think of most of the rest of the world -- male, female, and monster alike -- as a little bit beneath them. Anyone who asks me directly, though, gets a true answer about whether I'm male or female in real life. In DAoC, no one asked.
Amen, Reverend. I don't have any problem with any male character coming up to my female character and flirting, or even making a boorish pass at her - that's part of the experience. But I'm going to have to write a very long and very incisive rant about fourteen-year-old knuckle-draggers that can't make the distinction between player and character. EverQuest is not a chat room and it is not for hooking people up in real life. If you're looking for real-life sex, Norrath is probably not the place to find it.
And if you really must know whether or not the cute elfmaid in your party has a real woman at the controls, just remember the First Law of Internet Sex: Everyone on the Internet is male until proven otherwise.
I think I read somewhere that something like half of the female characters in MMORPG's are acctually homosexual males. They play as females because it's a way for them to get easily accepted for how they feel/act. (the half may be a bit off, I read it a while ago, but it was a fairly good percentage.)
As for me, I play male characters.
Would have been nice to have a "No" option though, just to see how many do compared to don't.
generally speaking i roleplay all the time, whether i be a man or a woman in game (im a man in real life). Though mostly it isnt a problem for me since i play WoW with my wife, so whenever someone attempts to get flirty i inform them of my marital status and they usually run away, and its mostly for this reason i play male characters. I Feel really bad though, ive known several friends that have gotten... into trouble when roleplaying another gender. Young boys are far too impressionable, and young men are very quick to get attatched. WoW in general seems more mild, maybe people are more concerned with equipment/level than community/relationships so it really hasnt been a plroblem for me playing either. DaoC and SWG though i would never play anything but a male character...
