Actually. I find it more homosexual when straight dudes go for the super muscular handsome dude with a huge sword. You know, muscles, huge swords.

Well I do also play male chars in games. I usually start off male then I go female. My male chars you can tell are totally gay but the female chars I make you can't tell I'm a guy until I outright say "I'm a dude, yah know." lol.

But heh my female chars are a lot scarier then my male chars are. I love making a creepy girl char then acting sweet and crazy at the same time. ^^ So much fun!

But meh to Orpheus's quote....I prefer soft guys with fans to big buff guys with big swords. All that sword is good for is killing! But my baby with the fan now he can provide for a lady....

I play the Aeria one. It's global.
But hmm it's not as populated as it used to be.
So the only thing I do now in DOMO is raise money and buy costumes. :D

I tend to play female characters because it seems that many times the Dev's put more thought into the models and quality of armor that go on them. Many games have male characters that have over stretched or filled in textures.

Because I don't have a girlfriend.>_>
But I personally only play as girl if its a mage or I can't make a good looking guy. Because i don't think guys look good in robes.

EDIT:I also think the OP is a Homophobe.

it's no different than dressing up as a girl. it doesn't mean you're gay. you just like different things.

Look at it as the same way, 'lesbians are hot' and faggots are gross, it's how society is.

Main = Dude: Just because I'm a guy i play as a dude, because i wanna feel like a guy when I'm playing a game especially if its girly... (Curse you LATALE you've foiled me for the last time)

Mule/Secondary = Chick: Because you get discounts and free shit

It's going a bit off topic o.o

We probably can find loads of reasons why a dude play a girl toon.

"Man, there's a freaking Female button in the character customisation, I can click it!"

Winrar!

but this is a bad idea bro. You know the residents of ONRPG, me being one of the worst...

In my opinion, the majority of all guys that play female characters do it because they are perverted. Much like watching hentai. "Roleplaying" and "I don't know" are very often merely excuses for the reason above.

I still think it's insecurity.

There was really no point in reopening this discussion. All that can be said about the subject has been said already. :-/

I mean, are you looking for some sort of philosophical answer? It's just about personal taste. Might as well ask why people enjoy blowing the head off of virtual people.
