Horay first post ever on forums and now... I orginally made a female char 2 days ago but decided to roll a male main instead. The reason I was mistaken to be a female several times and although I got some free stuff (didnt even ask for it just "oh your new here take this"), I couldnt handle being called "doll", "cutie", "sweetness" and constantly having to say dude im a dude.
My 2 cents.
PS - Every mmo ive ever played Ive rolled a female main - cov/coh, wow, ragnarok, ffixx, and gw. Eve is the only mmo ive made a male char because of gender confusion.

This is the BS. The char is NOT an alter-ego, it is like a fictional character puppet that does what you decide it should do.
Whether you want to role play the character or not is another issue. But if someone roleplays his other gender character this is also ok since those actions are just an opinion of a player about what his invented fictional persona would do considering player's general opinion and the selected backstory.
To clarify this even further, let us consider the literature writers.
Those people do exactly what the EVE players with multiple characters do. They create fictional characters in the fictional universe, except that the writers do also control the events in the world, while EVE players have much less control over the world.
So would you say that a male writer who has some female character in his book acting extensively, is weird as well? If yes then I would say you are weird...

Ha, so many gheys under cover here. Your avatar is mainly how OTHER players are to conceive you, a game-themed photo of yourself if you like. And you want to stare at a female toon? Is that what you do in this game - stare at your stats screen? And if it was only about staring at something pretty (and for half the female toons here - if you think that's pretty you really need your head checked) why give your toons female names and even better - why try to pretend to be female ingame, heh? If your ingame toon is the only nice feminine aspect of your life, well...
Soooo - males having female ingame avatars, giving them female names and pretending to be female ingame until they have to speak on TS/Ventrilo is "weird" to put it lightly.
If you get bored of staring at boring male business suits all day in real life do you dress in nice women's underwear so you can stare at something amusing every time you pass by a mirror at home? Makeup maybe?

What difference does it make. Do we assume anyone playing a race that has no gender is somehow lacking in certain areas? Do we assume anyone that plays a wookiee is secretly growing the hair out on their backs?
Why do you prefer to look at a guy's rear and gaze into a male character's ugly mug eyes?
Somethings are just best left unanswered. 
In order;
1. I played a wookie in SWG and am also proud owner of Merseyside's Hairiest Back(tm) irl and not at all secretive about it. I'm not sure which side of the argument this comes down on
2.Isnt it obvious; the love that dare not speak it's name. Half the EVE community are obviously latex homosexuals.... possibly latent.... not sure which comes first to be honest
3. Too late!! |

Given that 95%+ of the server is made up of guys in real life it would be a damned peculiar place if everyone made up male avatars according to sex. Would be less Eve online and more some homoerotic prison cell block drama with all the butch caldari's standing around waiting for the gallente males to "drop" the soap.
I love my sexy female avatar and I also like wearing women's underwear! Next question

Well that's normal. Now, if you respond by saying that if you did have a wang, it would be perfectly big, then you're obviously a guy. And of course there are a number of other easy giveaways as well.

*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*
eve is full of geeks, in other words, peeps who never touched a woman and only had female contact throught **** sites.
so when u see a female avatar, peeps go oooooooooo thats a girl lets be nice, give her ships isk etc.
fortunatly thats only 20% of the eve comunity, you have peeps that are married and dont give a crap about females playing a game.
dunno some pees are desperate.
my avatar was not a alto ego, use to look like me before i grew my hair lol.
and im a tit in game as in real life

i created my female characters because i got tired of creating male ones. before that, it felt a little weird. since then, i've noticed that my female characters get much more civilized and kind conversations than any of my male characters.
perception of the avatar must play well to male hormones or something.

I know alot of ppl make female chars to reap the charisma of having boobies. Figuring ppl will give them free stuff etc.
I think that only works in games were you can remove most of the avatars cloth and /dance. Oh, and where the average player is younger then around here.
(thats why I never will set foot into GuildWars again >_< )
And I, in contrast, never got hit on in Guildwars yet have been hit on numerous times in eve(though this stopped happening some a few months ago). The main problem I had with Guildwars was the "txt-tlk u r a n00b" kiddies, which sadly seem to be slowly infecting eve  All good things come to an end I suppose. Still, it's a shame.
Token on-topic remark: Don't care. If you're looking for a date, use a dating site

i was a fat ass when i was a kid (i still am). to make matters worse i have a weird voice. i guess it is stereotypically a texas twangy accent. the other kids would make fun of me and ask me if i liked country music (i dont!!!), which was an insult worse than death to a boy's psyche. twelve years of being ostracized by peers will make most people very tolerant of others. to me someone that listens to country music isn't any different from guys who play girl characters. as far as i'm concern people can like anything they want to and damn anyone that tries to make you feel ashamed for it.

I think I replied to last months thread, but why not again. When I started I made three characters. 2 guys and 1 girl. Different races, different specialties.
Liked combat the best, just played for a while, and eventually ended up with too many SP to bother rerolling. Why start again?
It became a bit more complicated when I began to RP, but being as I can tell the difference between EVE and real life, its fine.
And for the record, I am indeed weird, but playing a girl on EVE Online has absolutely nothing to do with it. :)

all my characters are dudes.... i hate to think of what they do at downtime when I'm not looking. better get rid of the frozen corpses.
although i do somewhat wish my achura character was a female a bit easier on the eyes, but then again i almost never look at my own portraits.
that and some guys give services to girls. sometimes actually female, sometimes guy in real life.

I created and create female avatars on virtually every mmorpg I play.
Why?
Well, let's start at the beginning of my mmorpg history. It's not terribly long, I assure you.
Chapter One.
Phantasy Star Online
I create a female FO-ne-werl or whatever they were called. They were sexy-ish elven toons. The females were cute, so I thought why not.
This being on XBOX, I got bashed when I was heard talking on voice comms. "Why are you playing a girl toon if you're a guy" etc.
My response was always the same "Well, im a hetero guy who enjoys looking at a pleasing female body throughout my playtime."
Basically, I had no way to counter what they were trying to tell me which was always "Why must you constantly disappoint my potential arousal by your being a member of the male gender?"
Chapter Two
World of Warcraft.
Having learned from my experience with PSO, and the constant whining from yokels with a thick US southern accent, I rolled a male toon at first. Man, I didn't like him. I loved him at first, but I rolled a female toon a week or two later, and I immediately loved her more so than my goofy male night elf.
Since then, I rolled a female human, female gnome (they are so incredibly adorable, unlike their creepy male counterparts), female COW, female night elf, female troll, and finally, a female dranei. All of them are more or less enjoyable to play as than the other, and with all of them I have no such problems admitting that I am indeed, a mangina, to put it in terms that my primary guild understands.
Chapter Three.
EVE
Now here we have a situation where you are not forced to constanty stare at your body, regardless of whether or not you prefer a slender efeminite figure over a bulky masculine physique. I did not know that when I first started, so I followed my experience with WoW and created this toon. A semi-good looking, shiny blue foreheaded, female-looking human(oid?!) who looks like she has an axe to grind with her maker (in this case, me, it would seem).
After looking at the male alternatives, I have not looked back since. Do I want a portrait that has me looking at you with an oversized testosterone-injected jaw like a Civire male? No. Do I really want a portrait of some bald, white haired, Amarr Captain Picard wanna-be being the guy you look at in local as you wonder whether or not I am hostile? Absolutely no.
Now, do I want some cute (hey, I have better looking alts...) female who appeals to both myself and the majority of the playerbase, who happen to be males,? YES! Furthermore, do I want the possibility of males with less thant 20% resist against female-influence to treat me nicely simply because I *just* might be a female in real life? Maybe.
The latter point is a sad testament of the playerbase of any mmorpg, however...

Wrong. My character/avatar is how other players are to conceive my character/avatar. That should be a relatively simple sentence to understand. I've no pretensions of my character/avatar being representative of me in real life and find it quite strange that you should want to think so.
Considering everyone is anonymous until they decide to break that barrier, the position that you take - assuming an avatar is in any way representative of a player - is frankly ludicrous and no doubt leads to awkward situations. As for me, I simply don't care what gender you are in real life. My interaction with people on this game requires no knowledge of their sexual organs.
Like someone said, the avatar is something I own, not something I am.

I'm a guy and always use female avatars, and 99% of it is for one specific reason:
when playing games, why would I want to be staring at a guy all the time? I make my avatars attractive/pretty so while running along killing stuff or doing whatever I don't have to look at a guys a$$ all the time... instead I get a lovely ladies booty to take a gander at whenever it catches my eye 
I have no role-playing interest in games, so I don't need to "play" a male or female, I would just rather stare at a pretty lady then a guy when mindlessly running (or flying) around... |

I'm a ...
Guy
In
Real
Life
And proud of it. 
Although, I often get mistaken for a lady (except on VoIP programs such as Vent or TS), as I don't engage in the whole "e-peen" business, and tend away from "leetspeek" (except when taking the mickey out of it ). So pleeeeeease don't hit on me - it's rather unnerving, and VERY disturbing. (Happens in other MMOs too, not just EVE. WoW and Guild Wars were the most frequent occurences, as well as CoV/CoH.)
And, I don't really know why I pick female characters over males. Well, barring the almost universal constipated/inbred look of males throughout MMOs... and the fact that I have trouble coming up with names for male characters. (I refuse to use stupid names - it has to be a proper name)
