the male charactors look weird.
be glad for it, if it werent for us guys with girl avatars it would look like the female population got wiped out sometime far in the past.

the reason males go for a female avatar is when they are in the avatar-selection phase their sex-drive kicks in and makes them choose a female avatar.

Thx god, 99% of EVE is not RPing, because the universe would be populated by only 3 types of women:
1. The biatch
Clothing: As naked as possible
Behaviour: She is a men-eating, perma-horny sex-machine.
Quotes:"Hi cuty"
"I strip for isk"
"Wanna go to the pleasure hub with me?"
2. The Babe
Clothing: As pink as possible
Behaviour: Cute, clumsy, stupid as hell.
Quotes: "Omg. My finger nails look awwwwwful today"
"Hihihi... tracking speed?"
"Can you park the domi for me?"
3. The Amazone
Clothing: menacingly, but nearly naked
Behavior: more masculine than a real man
Quotes: "Yarrrr. I'm gonna take all your loot and *** you afterwards"

Achura/Khanid males take too much trouble tweaking to look non-fugly.
And those bloodlines are arguably the best choices you can pick, attribute-points-wise.
Besides, don't think of your avatar as "you", but rather "your minion you mind-control to do your bidding".
Would you rather have an ugly male or a cute female as mindslave ?
Let's exclude the skill point argument. After all in the long run you gain nothing more than the rest of the players.
But the avatar is you in many ways and not a minion. Even RP wise it's you not a mindless slave ffs.

How can you roleplay a girl? It's after all = Guy In Real Life. You cannot roleplay yourself.

I understand why males choose female avatars as poorly as I understand what the attraction to female action stars in films are.
I don't need my females super manly or kicking ass. I also don't mix sexuality with an MMO about space domination.
I plain don't understand anyone that could get anything out of looking at a mugshot of a digital female character. That hard up for females? Just alt-tab to **** sites while your playing.
I guess it doesn't really matter, people like weird freaky things. Just a reality I suppose.

How can a man play a woman? Acting! If you want the definitive answer to that one go see a Kabuki performance. All the female roles are played by men and have been for hundreds of years. The Onnagata (Something like "Female substitute") are a classical role; you train for. In the performance I saw some of those guys were so completely convincing that if it hadn't been for their faux female voices you wouldn't have known the difference. It's doable; it's just most guys don't do it well. Still it's no different then playing a cold-blooded killer, he-man hero or slimey weasel; it's just another character.
I resisted the concept for a long time; finally a friend of mine pestered me into doing it; to my shock I had a lot of fun playing the role and I never really was able to go back. I don't have a good reason why; I just have more fun with female characters.
Since chick number 1 I gradually became the designated female player. I've played the all three of the stereotypes and a whole lot more; I've also written a ton of female characters in short stores etc. It can be a ton of fun to immerse yourself in a radically different mindset; if you think yourself into the role you may find yourself acting IC without thinking about it.
The down side is sexual harassment. If you want to see how the other half lives go to any other game; make a hot Avatar and get a taste of what women live with every day of their lives; it's an eye-opener. I knew one female player on COH who did the reverse and only played male characters purely for that reason.
All of that said I'll admit the biatch is the most fun stereotype to RP. Done right you can make all your corp mates roll with IC jokes. I've probably had more fun doing that then playing the actual game at times.

Everyone's different I suppose. Some like to RP as women(me, once in a while). Some just prefer the pretty picture, some don't give a damn. It's not very weird or freaky if you're comfortable with your sexuality. And yep, I'm straight.
To be honest though.... straight, ***, trans., does it make any difference at all? It's just a game

My posts come from my point of view. Obviously there is no such thing as cosmically/universally weird, only weird in relation to certain viewpoints.
Having differing view points from others has absolutely nothing to do with your level of comfort with your sexuality.
A man having sex with a goat, from my point of view, is weird gross and unimaginable. My views on this have nothing to do with wanting to have sex with a goat myself.
That is a weak fallible arguement people use. If someone hates chocolate, I don't accuse them of actually liking it deep down, and blaming that as the reason they claim to not like it.
Some people enjoy acting out being female, or get some sort of tangible satisfaction looking at digital female mugshots or whatever. Either way I don't understand it, that's all my post said, nothing more.

why does men play women in a game?
Why does men play the hero in a Wargame?
Why does men play millionaires in monopoly?
because men like to dream.
And since it's a game, they are allowed to.
I know men that play women cause they think its fun, i know women that play men cause they are not taken serious when having a female avatar.
I know people that play games, and go back to reality when they turn off the computer, I also know people that when they turn off the computer they go to msg boards and are angry with people that lied to them, betrayed them in to thinking they where something they where not, just to return an hour or two later to continue to play their dream on the net, while the others the one they shouted on and taking care of their wife and children in the real world.
im not one to judge anyone, but if people need to dream and escape reality for a little to better face the real world around them, why not let them.
Everyone need to dream about something once in a while, isn't that why you play games in the first place?

It's not really sexual actually.
At least not in the "get aroused by it" way. Personally, I like looking at women. Not primary because it can stimulate me sexually but simply because I enjoy it no matter in which mood I am. Like looking at a nice picture.
Also, I do not mean only their backside and their boobies (not that I do not let my eyes wander now and then) but also their faces. Or shoulders. Or legs. A nice face is for me just as enjoyable to look at as a nice body.

That's all good. I don't put art or any pictures on my walls. Never felt the need to. Guess I just separate my visual and other needs differently than you do.
I wouldn't want to plaster girls faces on my guy friends so that they look like girls when we hang out. There are times when I look/do other things with girls and they fill a certain need, other times there are other things that occupy my attention other than how someones face looks, and that aspect doesn't even scratch at my awareness.

That pretty much covers it. Or secretly wish one would date you. I'm guessing both things are what motivate mmorpg players to chick up.

As my GF says when she chooses her avatars in videogames : "I like to be what I am not".
btw videogames are designed to allow people to be someone else. Choosing a female char for a male player is then, plain logical

Because people are even more embarassed if they get ass-kicked by a girl.
As for the homosexuality concerns, what is more homosexual, starin at a beatiful girls face all day or wanting to look at those brutor apes in leather suites?

Reminds me of a thread I read back when I played wow. (yes I did. I feel tainted)
Some guy was realy upset about guys playeng females and thought it should be baned.
His argument. "They are not REALY girls! It is sick!"
Altho, it turned out he was not REALY a troll shaman IRL either.
