    Then why do you quote me and keep replying to me if I was agreeing with Lawliet and sinnful. You obviously don't care about how models look and your reason for playing a male character is another one, which is completely fine. What I mean is, that picture and comparison wasn't directed towards you, because you don't EVEN CARE about models. It was directed towards people that do care, I was just showing what kind of things make SOME people stay away from male characters. Again, this does not include YOU.

    I'm not staring at my characters @$$? im looking at the whole thing since the screen is rotatable. and why would i need to look at a picture of a real woman bent over? i don't get turned on by the fact that i'm looking at hot pixels, nor do i need to look at pornographic images to enjoy females. get it over your head, i don't play a female in order to stare at her ***, i play a female because i prefer NOT to look at guys while i'm playing.

    get over the small arguement you have that i'm staring at a female ***. i'm not. i'm looking at the entire thing, absorbing the majesty of my character in all her shiny armor and glory. I like females, and thats the end of that.

    thought it would help to find a higher resolution picture. not one in 640x480.

    This thread seems to be split into four specific groups:

    A. I don't care what gender I play.

    B. I like playing female characters.

    C. I like playing male characters.

    D. LOL You're a *** if you don't play your gender because I'm right and you're all wrong no matter what I say.

    It would be nice if group D would crawl back under the bridge.

    Well, there's also the:

    "I enjoy playing my own character, but if a game is gender-locked and I actually like it, it won't keep me from playing if my favorite class is the opposite sex."

    Would be a mix between A, B and C.

    lol. that's the same thing. unless you just don't like the animations with that particular male model. the fact you said you don't like looking at guys while you play means you don't find them attractive to you(most people don't even think that way in the first place, so it doesn't matter at all, they are just models of other players), which is why you play the female characters.

    Yes exactly, it seems to some people that a player would use a girl toon necessarily for a pervert motive.

    It's all wrong~ it's a whole thing, player seeks the toon that will feel pleasant to his eyes.

    And for the pixel argument, don't you ever get amazed by the look of your new armor or new weapon ?

    "No, wtf, it's pixels! I go and look real things!"

    The logical reason would be because sometimes the male models are overly hulkish, which makes me sick to my stomach.

    But usually its because I feel like it, I know I'm not gay and I don't do it for items, I go with the flow.

    Sometimes its epic win watching the desperateness of dudes online, other times its just a hinderance because of the desperateness of dudes online.

    In the end its just a game, It's not like i'm putting a dress on in reality, because, well that would be a travesty.

    yea, why dress up like that irl when you can do it in a game. not to mention the free gifts you end up getting.

    Well, for one I'm out of shape with a neck beard and the face of a goblin.

    I usually don't get many free gifts though, just a lot of awkward love struck douchebags I have to break the news to, that the awesome girl that they've been in love with is an out of shape computer nerd with a neck beard and the face of a goblin.

    Apparently men make the best woman.

    I have heard this argument:
    Wouldn't it be more gay if a guy rather stare at a male's *** all day than a girl's ***

    Quick! Make a "Why do black people play as white characters in games?" thread.

    No no, wait!

    "Why do human players play as orc characters in games?"

    These are all insightful topics for discussion.

    I usually only play females in games when the females look better than the males or if a class I want is female exclusive. However, if I am spoken to as if I were female, I immediately tell them I'm male.

    Males playing as males and breaking it to people that your female, but your not really.

    I like looking at chicks. That's why I always roll with a female toon. If the classes are gender-locked, I will pick a female class 99% of the time. The other %1 is if there is a duck or a paladin class.

    So far no duck classes encountered.
