I have made plenty of them.
I haven't regretted a single one.
My only regret, is that CCP only allows you to make perfect women, and not ones that you see in RL (that often).
CCP, give us more Character Creator options! Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings? |

No regrets from me. Reasons:
Female pilots provide better scenery while docked than male pilots or a ship. Its different. All men would be boring. Role play options. One pilot is modeled after a character in a different computer game that I enjoyed.
Now: Are there any woman players who have made male pilots? And don't tell me there are no female eve players as there are three (that I know of) in my alliance, one being my sister. http://vincentoneve.wordpress.com/ |

I had an urge to learn how putting on make-up works, so I made female characters to practice, and got feedback and advice from real life women. It was very informative, and I even kept a few of the characters.

It seems this ISD bot is malfunctioning as that is not how you lock a thread. Maybe if I smack it a few times... |

I think this is a strange question.
Male/female in this MMO should not be considered any different then Fairy/Lizard/Robot in other MMO's. You won't get robots in the year 2177 ask humans why the heck we made robot toons when we are not a real robot, so your question makes no sense.
We get the option to create a girl or a boy, so we exercise those options.
If you are asking because you think people might be strange when they pick a sex that is not theirs in real life, then maybe you should question yourself, because this is just a game, and that choice here is meaningless. I suddenly woke up thinking I had a nightmare, then remembered I can't even fly Amarr Battleships. I add bits to this when I'm bored https://www.dropbox.com/s/foijsawsqolarom/EVE_Online.html |

Because it's a purely aesthetic distinction, and aesthetically speaking, female avatars always look better in games for some odd reason.

This is one of those no win scenario debates for me and Ioci.
People get all weird when I refer to Ioci in the third party. They get all weird when I point out I'm a guy. I'm not pretending to be a woman. Ioci is a character in a video game. She is a digital personality I created and I've been on adventures in 50+ MMO's with her. She is the gutter punk, red headed step child I never wanted.

Now you see, the concept of bent genders in society or the reasons why gets trivialized often much to the insult, as is the apparent reason to the target, of the GLBT community.
Hence they are made to endure the occasional notion that they read the wrong book, or watched the wrong TV show, or they are into freaky sexual desires, or whatever.
In reality, they are not really the target. When the occasional group, doctor, or whatever makes such assertions, how many overall people in a society are they making angry, insulting, or trivializing?
At most 5 percent.
That's why they are never the target.
The real target is the CIS/Hetero majority for they, not fully paying attention, gets somewhat of an implantation of the notion that their own gender identity is so fragile (hence trivialized) that doing something trivially wrong is going to have them singing Broadway show tunes, decorating the apartment, fabulousing so hard their friends will start looking for fire extinguishers, or seeking surgeries of the nature of "taketh away" or that other surgery known as an "addadictomy".
Hence one more thing to be in fear of, and keeping people nervous about their identities and intentions in any subject or aspect of life is one more link in the chains that bind everybody.
Therefore, in an MMO, rolling an opposite sex avatar is somehow noteworthy or some action that requires explanation or motive, as if it mattered.
When in fact it's equally trivial as the presumptions of the cause of diversion/deviance, the assertions intended to make people scared in the first place.
tl;dr: it does not matter. |

In other mmos where a higher percentage of the player base is actually female, I tend to avoid it.
In EVE, it doesn't matter. |

I think it's like prison where the huge disparity causes males to a assume a female role for the good of the society (and vice versa)

Dear me, not this thread again.
I tend to assume that this thread is only brought up by those who are too young, i.e. under the age of 13 to actually be allowed to play Eve, and are unsure about the physical differences between boys and girls, let alone being concerned about sexuality as such. This is not a signature. |

I'm a bit confused to why this is a question.
I rarely play humans in RPGs. Most of the times my characters are about half my RL age, but I will occasionally play an older character if available. In games where you can choose ethnicity I often choose something different although I do have an Achura in Eve.
I base gender off the individual game. I feel as though the characters in the Bethesda RPGs are ugly, so I usually choose rugged guys. Femshep in Mass Effect has an amazing voice actor so I usually choose her. For a few fantasy RPGs I tend to go with Dwarven guys and Elven women. The Eve women are so pretty I just had to choose them.
I know I say this every time this thread resurfaces, but like many authors I see my characters more as friends with individual personalities rather than a literal manifestation of myself and like my RL friends they come in various forms. Celeste just happens to be my second oldest character and tends to stay docked and out of trouble so I post from this account. |

I have made a female character and she turned real and sued me for alimony. True story and I honestly regret it. Loss is meaningful. Therefore is the loss of meaning likewise meaningful. It is the source of all trolling. |
