Why did multiple Hugo award winning author Lois McMaster Bujold choose a male protagonist for her long running Vorkosigan series? She is not a lesbian and her character isn't visually stimulating. The same could be said about most of the science fiction authors that I read, many of whom write from the first person perspective.
Your character is not you, but rather like an author's protagonist, a character that you have created. They might be a despicable pirate or a humanitarian, but that doesn't necessarily portray the creator. The idea of having a character as a different gender seems no more odd than a different race, or a different age. If anything I feel it is harder to write for characters who are extremely young or old.
I love all my characters and don't think about them as "me." Perhaps the weirdest thing I have ever done is smile and say hello to them as I log on. They are my fictional friends and family that have stories, and personalities that are not mine, and I do not wish to be or pretend to be them. |

I roled a few alts as female toons just to switch it up a bit. I do not however play as a female or name my female toons obvious female names, as a man that's just weird.
Eve hasn't really ever been a RP game for me anyway and most of the time i run local on a condensed list so I only see portraits when researching the locals. Female toons just keep the game lively. |

Just wait till over several years we get WiS. Then I am looking at a females behind wiggling when walking.
Somehow that is just more pleasing to the eye than some male butt. |

Nothing is more pleasing to the eye than male butt.
Unless you mean my eye.
Then the females can proceed.

MMORPG = Many Men Online Role Playing Girls
By the Gods.. I choked on my coffee when I read that particular line.. Thank you Sarah. 
I have played both genders but the choice usually leans towards playing the male.
Started out early reading the largest books I could find. The Bigger the better. When I stumbled across my first Fantasy book series I was sold. Always got a sad little tingle when the story eventually ended.
I never confused myself with the characters in the books tho.
I most certainly connect with the main lead. And on occation I have even dreamt of the world in wich I have taken part for a few hours too many. But it's always as a part of the adventure. Not the character itself. The mind finds strange ways to take part. a mechanic, cook or a random soldier amongst a few. It always ends up as an adventure.
Early games like someone else mentioned.. Diablo. Had you locked into genders when you chose certain classes. Games for me simply was a new way for me to experience a new adventure with a new hero in the lead. The person in question being male or female was irrelevant as long as the story that unfolded along the way was good.
Then I stumbled upon mmorpg's. And suddenly I learned of alts and how we inevitably had to make One or more down the road should we play long enough. This at first had me stop playing entirely while pondering for a few days on how to tackle the issue. Long time ago.
Having an alt would ruin my "book".  Simple solution was to simply create another story and tie it to the One I already had.
Personally i try my best to avoid making alts since it usually ends up with me deleting everyone involved to end the story before my sleep time that started with 8 hours a night was blown to bits and pieces with me trying to grab at least 3 before they fell to the floor.
What I'm trying to say here is that many people probably dont view their Avatars as a representation of themselfs but more as representative of their "house" " adventure" "book" take your pick.
I imagine that there are quite a few people out there that have formed a series of alts that are connected either as a family or distant relatives. Or related in any number of ways to fit "their" story.
Anyways. This would just be my sample of how One group out of untold masses thinks. It felt like this thread had forgotten about us. =)
Goodnight and sleep well everyone. =^.^= |

Some people have strong self-awareness and doesn't refer to themselves as on-screen pixels - be it "male" pixels, "female" pixels, "orcs and elven" pixels.
Also I believe heterosexual males should prefer females to stare at in captain quarters. |

Didn't bother reading the responses, however, I've wondered the same. Perhaps guys wishing to be females?
If you want female eye candy, watch a porno. I don't buy the "I'd rather see a female all day".
To me, its an ingame personification of yourself. |

I see it all the time, especially in third person view where your "camera" is behind the toon or avatar. What dudes want to look at some dude's butt running around all day?
Now those who, in audio comms, run voice changers - that's a little creepy. Would rather have a bunch of "Dr Girlfriend" around. |

I now have a desire to use a voice changer to do the "stereotypical kidnapper over the phone" voice. Would be a good laugh at least. |

Because when I signed up in late 08/09, the gallente femmes were much better looking than the guys, who looked feminine themselves.
Also, I don't care what anyone thinks of this, I'd much rather be a woman than a man.
