I would have thought that the answer is obvious.
A lot of people play these games to relax after a hard day at the office/college/whatever and the last thing you need from something recreational is additional stress.
Understandably, some folk take the easier route by "roleplaying" female characters and thus removing the need to display any awareness of politics, tactics, economics or basic common sense.
Lemmy only knows I've tried, but I find myself completely unable to bump the station every time I undock, or select weapons based on artistic appeal rather than functionality. I also find it impossible to jump to a wrong conclusion based on the flimsiest argument and then steadfastly stick to my guns in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
So, alas for me, it has to be male avatars all the way.... even in SWG where you can watch things jiggling as you run.
The prosecution rests. |

I'm sure there are some people out there who play their avatars as some extension of themselves, or what they wish they could be.
There's a practical side to this too. In most MMO's, you're going to be spending 95% of your time staring at your character's rear. Would you rather stare at a hairy male orc's rear, or a cute female elf's rear?
EVE is somewhat of an exception, as you hardly ever see yourself unless you stare at your skill training screen all day.
What is REALLY weird though, is dragging this dead horse back out into the sun to beat it some more.

ROFL, calling someone else a noob is basically a last line of defense when you know you've lost the argument..
I imagine the only reason you are whining on here s because you tried using eve as a dating service and had a shock when you found that the sexy gallente female you had been chating up was a 52 yr old man called fred ..., if anything that makes you the noob. :)

If the majority of a certain group behaves in a certain way, is that behavior to be considered weird? Or are you weird for contemplating it? Does it matter?
It's a thought.

how many threads have we had regarding this matter ?
sometimes, female avatars are created as alts... just because you get bored of creating yet another male char.
sometimes, it happens when you decide to quit eve and then come back creating a new character... being bored of the old, male, one, you create a female char.
sometimes, it might be that indeed, somebody feels more like a woman inside
BUT DOES IT REALLY MATTER ???
i dont care who's male or female offline. it's a game, not a dating agency.

Nope, just because the majority of people drive a car, its not considered weird, is it... :)
Actually its more strange to choose to not drive a car.
But who cares. You cant live your life according to what others think about your actions anyway. :)

yes it's weird these types of people should be put to death...oh wait.
And the reason why I chose a female character in case anyone cares (you don't), was because the male one has a messed up nose.

They're either:
a) weirdos.
or
b) willing to do what it takes to get better treatment from corp mates and strangers. People do treat female characters better, I've seen it enough times.
I think even if b) applies, there is still a little bit of a) there.

Or (for those with IQs in at least triple digits):
c) Are mature enough to understand that sexuality and videogames are completely seperate and neither has any bearing on the other.

I'll tell you what's really weird.... watching the noob you just recruited trying to 'chat up' one of your veteran members with a female avatar... and then listening to them rant about how that person should be kicked out for impersonating a girl!
If you're looking for a girlfriend, perhaps you should go back to the game of Real Life?

Not really a pratical suggestion; IRL women cost a lot more than 170mill ISK a month... and you can't log off in the middle of a fight. |

Are they?
I once heard some guy tell me that a high profile female character played by a guy once tried to pose as a girl until he spoke on TS.
Most people create their alter ego, who they wish they were etc etc....and often what they look like.
*I can understad why female players want a male avatar since they dont want to receive 100 invites for love each day....this is afterall the interweb*
YES... but not any weirder then making male avatars, non-human avatars, human avatars... in other words... We are all weird!!!!
None of us is as dumb as all of us...

Depends really. A guy who creates a female avatar is different from a guy actually pretending to be a girl in game. The latter is weird, though.

Are people who think they are their avatars weird? I think so, actually. I am emphatically not my avatar, hence I have no problem playing with a female avatar. Your average non-roleplaying player is actually a lot more dysfunctional in this respect than those who recognize their avatars/characters for what they are.
We've done this topic to death earlier, btw.

Women are more polite, nicer, kinder, cuter, and much easier to deal with.
So pretty much the opposite of you?
Honestly, spewing prejudices and attacking others based on their gender wont earn you any browniepoints.It just makes you look like a troll...
