More and more new games have options to customize the player’s character or at least choose a gender. This is especially true with MMO’s and RPG’s. Today in MMO’s, most female characters are likely played by men, or Guy in Real Life (GIRL). This topic pops up from time to time in various games and forums. So why is it that men like to play as female characters?

Honestly I'll play either... Usually in most MMO type games, I'll make one of each gender, just to have a variety. Sometimes I like being my badass dude that looks suspiciously like Sephiroth... Other times I want to be a cute girl that beats monsters over the head with a mace. Lol
I wonder what Freud would say...
In fighting games, the lady's are usually over-powered, so I'll use them = )
Chung Li anyone ? <3
Which is something I would do, if guys wouldn't then come and hit on me first, asking if I were a girl second or third to whatever come on line or small talk they put out.
Edit:
Also since I don't play MMOs its not really an issue.
Makes a change playing as men I guess.
Or they can just have better characters i.e. Femshep.
